Tom Clancy's The Division has started life impressively well in Japan, topping the software charts on PlayStation 4. Ubisoft's role-playing shooter hybrid sold through a very healthy 80,703 copies, which was more than enough to place it above the likes of The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD.

Elsewhere, the new Summon Night game entered in third, while Gundam Breaker 3 managed to hold its top five place on Vita. The home console version dropped down to ninth, however.

On the hardware side of things, the PS4 remained steady at the summit, shifting a relatively solid 27,341 units. Sony's handheld, meanwhile, saw sales drop by around 9000 units, but that wasn't enough to allow the competition to jump past it.
