It's another reasonably boring report on the latest Japanese sales charts this week we're afraid. With literally no new PlayStation releases to speak of in the top 20, the software charts are drearier than ever, but funnily enough, Sony's platforms have actually enjoyed a small boost in shifted units.

The PlayStation 4 sold through 18,503 machines, while Vita sales rose to 17,400. Nothing but a small increase from the prior week, that's for sure, but with a few relatively big titles on the way, it's perhaps no surprise that the hardware charts are seeing a slight bump - a trend which will hopefully continue as we move towards the end of the year.
