valkyria chronicles remastered eu na.jpg

Last week was pretty quiet for new releases in the Land of the Rising Sun, with the likes of Dragon Quest Builders and Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 still hanging around in the software top ten. There was one new PlayStation entry worthy of note, however: Valkyria Chronicles Remastered. The remastered edition of the PS3 classic debuted in third place, selling through 24,156 copies. Not a huge amount, but we doubt that publisher SEGA will have expected much more.

Meanwhile, on the hardware side of things, Sony's home console stuck to the summit despite the lack of fresh games. The new-gen machine racked up sales of 27,576 units - a slight decline from the week prior, but again, without any big releases, that comes as no real surprise.
