For the first time in a while, we've got a slew of new releases to write about when it comes to the latest Japanese sales charts. Regular readers may have noticed that we actually missed the charts last week (you can blame Overlord Barker for that), so we're catching up now.

Okay, where to start? Well, the software charts were topped by Dark Souls Remastered, which did around 72,000 copies on PlayStation 4. It was followed by Detroit: Become Human in second, shifting 40,000 copies. The rest of the charts were dominated by Persona 5: Dancing Star Night and Persona 3: Dancing Moon Night. When added all together, both titles moved around 110,000 copies. That figure also includes Vita sales.

However, all of these new PlayStation 4 games failed to move the console itself, which is still stuck around 17,500 units, including the PS4 Pro. On the hardware side of things, PlayStation remains in a bit of a rut.
