ps4 53 million sales.jpg

Here at Push Square we like to have a bit of meat on our articles - just relaying the facts gets a little boring after a while. However, there are times when there simply isn't much that we can add to a topic - and that's definitely the case with the latest Japanese sales charts.

With no new PlayStation 4 titles making it into the top 20, the software charts make for an especially boring read this time around. Fortunately, things aren't quite so dire on the hardware side of things, with Sony's home console enjoying a reasonable increase in sales. After a recent slump, the PS4 is back above the 20,000 mark.
