Japanese Game Charts Gets Sexy 3rd Birthday

The latest in Square Enix's survival horror series with a sexy female lead, The 3rd Birthday, has entered the Japanese weekly charts behind competition such as Monster Hunter 3rd and AKB1/48.

The newest instalment in the Parasite Eve franchise, released for the PSP, was only able to reach the coveted #6 slot in the ever competitive gaming chart despite heavy promotion of the title and lead female protagonist Aya Brea's various curves and designer fashions.
