Dark Souls III: The Fire Fades Edition - which includes all the game's downloadable content - has dodge rolled its way into the Japanese software charts, shifting 33,088 copies and landing in third place. Not too shabby for a re-release, but then, there's not much else to write about this time around.

Yep, it's been another slow week in the East, with Parappa the Rapper Remastered being the only other PlayStation title worth a mention. The revisited PS1 game entered in eighth, moving just 7,649 copies. Believing won't do you any good this time, you weird little dog boy.

On the hardware side of things, the PlayStation 4 sales lull continues, as Sony's system dropped to 15,222 units. It's probably going to be a while before the Nintendo Switch evens out and the PS4 works its way back above that hallowed 20,000 mark.
