One Piece: Gigant Battle takes the top spot in the Japanese Video Game Chart this past week (6th 12th September 2010 – courtesy Media Create), ahead of the news and gaming fallout from the (then-upcoming, now-ongoing) Tokyo Game Show.
1 One Piece: Gigant Battle – Namco Bandai (DS) – 131,854 / NEW
2 Monster Hunter Diary: Poka Poka Airu Village – Capcom (PSP) – 55,569
3 Wii Party – Nintendo (Wii) – 44,908
4 Ace Combat X2: Joint Assault – Namco Bandai (PS3) – 12,667
5 Metroid: Other M – Nintendo (Wii) – 11,239
6 Super Mario Galaxy 2 – Nintendo (Wii) – 9,827
7 Art Academy – Nintendo (DS) – 8,172
8 VitaminX Evolution Plus – D3 Publisher (PSP) – 7,975 / NEW
9 Inazuma Eleven 3: World Challenge!! Spark/Bomber – Level-5 (DS) – 7,640
10 Sengoku Efuda Yuugi: Hototogisu Taira – Irem (PSP) – 7,407
It's because of TGS, in fact, that overall week-on-week sales are particularly poor, with the #4 title – Ace Combat X2 – only earning itself 12,667 sales. That's not good at all. Besides One Piece and its manga/anime clout, the only other new release to make the Top 10 was D3's VitaminX Evolution Plus – a typical J-Drama-esque romp.
With all the announcements and revelations made at TGS this week – DmC, Phantasy Star Online 2, Steel Batallion, Ninja Gaiden 3 to name but a few – there's plenty of gaming goodness for Japanese players to look forward to in the coming months. Will it all create a sales spark in the chart, though? Find out next week, eh?
