One Piece Unlimited gives 3DS software and hardware boost
Handheld title takes number one, but PSP still on top in hardware chart
A week of new entries for the last week of the month has seen 3DS title One Piece Unlimited Cruise Special hit number one in its debut week on the Japanese software chart, but the PSP remained the best selling piece of gaming hardware in the region.
One Piece was the best selling game by a factor of almost three, shifting 80,488 copies as opposed to second placed Troy Musou's 31,428.
Nine new games are represented in the top twenty for the last week in May, with four of the top five titles being released this week. Whilst 3DS sales are up impressively from the previous week, rising to 24,283 units from 17,240, the PSP has remained relatively stable in first place with 33,609 units, up from 30,463 last week.
