It's been a boring few weeks for the Japanese hardware and software charts, and we're afraid that there's no excitement to be found this time around, either. PlayStation 4 sales dropped by about 4000 units, but Sony's latest system still managed to stick to the top spot - that is, if you don't count New 3DS and New 3DS LL numbers as one format.

Still, not a bad display from the PS4 when you consider that there wasn't a single new game released for the current-gen console last week. The only title really worthy of any mention is Konami's cute baseball sim, Jikkyou Powerful Pro Baseball 2016 - which shifted a further 23,936 copies on Sony's machine. Here's hoping that there's more to talk about next week.
