Media Create chart welcomes Digimon

1. Pokken Tournament (Nintendo) 69,575
2. Digimon World: Next Order (Bandai) - 64.218 / NEW
6. Minecraft (Sony) 9,136
8. Gundam Breaker 3 (Bandai) 8,741
10 Summon Night 6 (Bandai) 7,144

The Vita sold a stable 19,028 units on the week, not bad as Japan motors through another quiet couple of weeks in gaming.

Winning Post 8 2016 (PS4/PSV) – 8/8/8/8 (bare bones update)
Kono Oozora Ni Tsubasa Wo Hirogete Cruise Sign (PSV) – 8/8/8/8 (port of a PS3 otome)
Silverio Vendetta: Verse of Orpeus (PSV) – 8/7/7/8 (Windows adventure port)
Ore ni Hatarakette Iwaretemo Tori (PSV) – 7/7/7/7 (RPG)
