Most interesting thing this month is the digital only release of Wolfenstein and doing just as well as if it were a physical release.

Wolfenstein was actually released around the same time as in the west in Japan. However it was on sale on PSN in April and in May which is why it did so much. Same thing happened to Battlefield and Assassin's Creed games earlier this year.

I see, I guess I was too lazy to look it up. These lists could use the original release dates for reference.

Still unlike Battlefield and AC, Wolfenstein has relatively great digital sales compared to physical.

[PS4] Wolfenstein: The New Order (Bethesda Softworks, 06/05/14) – 7,448  

to over 70k digital.
