The PlayStation 4 is suffering from a real software drought in Japan right now, but Sony's latest console just refuses to budge from the top of the hardware charts. PS4 sales actually increased by around 2000 units despite the fact that the dismal Umbrella Corps was the only current-gen entry in the top ten - and even then, Capcom's mess of a release only managed to shift around 9000 copies.

Two Wii U titles and one popular 3DS game allowed for Nintendo bragging rights in the top five, but it's worth noting that the second spot was snapped up by fresh Vita RPG Caligula, which sold through a fairly reasonably 31, 243 copies.
