There's only one real talking point when it comes to the latest Japanese sales charts: PlayStation 4 exclusive Ratchet & Clank entered in third place, selling through a kind-of-okay 27,534 copies. Funnily enough, the superb looking action-platformer was the only new title to to make it into the top 20.
On the hardware side of things, the PS4 is still struggling to regain its place at the top, but sales of Sony's system did at least increase to 17,433 units.

Persona 5 will skyrocket PS4 sales.
Dragon Ball Fusions actually had a pretty decent second week. Thought it would have dropped a lot more than that.
Kirby Planet Robobot continues to have legs.
@Grawlog
It keeps getting games so it keeps selling.
Ratchet and Clank, sadly, has been my biggest disappointment in the PS4. I had never played the series before and was super sad to find out a movie wannabe instead of a Banjo-like open 3D platformer.
Oh well, yet more reason for my already unbelievable hype for Yooka-Laylee.
2DS internationally and 3DS in Japan have been doing well on the back of some quality games and the positive Pokemon Go word of mouth. It's a kind of a resurgence for 2DS and 3DS. It seems that Nintendo and third parties are making some good efforts now that NX looms on the horizon.
But on the PS4 front - how will Neo affect things? Will it bring more and better games, or will it split development resources and actually harm the PS4?
