digimon world next order sales.jpg

Being a single format site, you'll never see news purely related to the likes of Nintendo on Push Square, but that doesn't mean we can't look at the latest Japanese software charts and smile. Battling it out for the top spot this time around are Pokken Tournament and Digimon World: Next Order, automatically casting our minds back to the 1990s when the two Japanese properties became big hits here in the West.

Digimon's latest is really the only new PlayStation entry worth talking about; it sold through a healthy 64,218 copies on Vita. The game's yet to be announced for an overseas release, but it could be on the cards considering its popularity in Japan. Meanwhile, Tom Clancy's The Division stuck around in third, selling a further 23,130 copies, bringing its total sales past 100,000. Not bad at all.

Elsewhere, there was no change on the hardware front, with the PS4 continuing its first place run. Despite Digimon's success, however, Vita sales actually dropped ever so slightly.
