It’s cemented its status as the franchise’s fastest-selling title on consoles, with over three million sales in 24 hours as its last milestone.
As a successor to the Budokai Tenkaichi (Sparking! in Japan) series, Sparking! ZERO features a massive roster of characters from across the franchise, including Dragon Ball Z, GT, Super, and the movies.
