dragon quest heroes ii release date.jpg

It's been another incredibly quiet week for PlayStation in Japan as only one new title, Root Letter, released on Sony's latest system - and those sales figures aren't even worth mentioning. As you'd expect, Dragon Quest Heroes II remains the PS4's most popular release for the third week running, while Overwatch also stuck around in the top ten. Blizzard's shooter has now sold through almost 100,000 copies in Japan.

However, despite the obvious lack of fresh software, the PS4 managed to clamber back to the top of the hardware charts, once again surpassing the 20,000 mark. When some new titles finally hit the current-gen console, it'll be interesting to see how much higher the numbers jump.
