Tales of zestiria.png

Well this is all a bit familiar, isn't it? Once again, the PlayStation 4 has topped the Japanese hardware charts with 22,717 units sold despite the fact that there's been bugger all releasing on the system.

The PS4 "Welcome Price" version of last year's Tales of Zestiria was the only current-gen title to make it into the top 20, and even then, it barely managed to shift a dismal 5,045 copies. Elsewhere, relatively big sellers from the last couple of months - including Overwatch and Dragon Quest Heroes II - are dotted throughout this most recent list, but the actual numbers aren't really worth a mention.

And we thought the UK sales charts were boring...
