Apologies for diverting your attention away from the E3 hype, but we've got to cover the latest Japanese sales charts. We're not really sure why we're bothering, though, as there really isn't much to talk about on the PlayStation front. Sony's home console dropped to second place in the hardware charts for the first time in weeks, losing out to Nintendo's New 3DS LL, which spiked thanks to the newest Phoenix Wright game.

Dragon Quest Heroes II stuck around in second place in the software charts on PS4, while Overwatch managed to remain in the top five. New entries included Mirror's Edge Catalyst and the Perfect Edition of Project CARS, but neither newcomer boasted numbers worthy of note.
