The latest Japanese software charts are in, and two PlayStation 4 titles are at the top. The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel III entered in first place, selling around 87,000 copies. That's not a bad showing for a sequel in a somewhat niche series. Meanwhile, FIFA 18 sprinted into second, shifting 56,000 copies. Most popular sport in the world and all that.

These two new releases didn't appear to do much for PS4 sales, however. Sony's system still sits in second place behind the Nintendo Switch, moving close to 30,000 units across the base model and the PS4 Pro.
