posted on by Ko Ransom
According to a recent Enterbrain survey, Namco Bandai Games' One Piece Kaizoku Musou sold approximately 771,000 copies in March 2012, making it the top-selling game that month. The survey puts March game sales at 22.97 billion yen (about 283 million USD), 34.5% higher than game sales a year earlier in March 2011. The survey also announced that One Piece Kaizoku Musou has become the third highest-selling PlayStation 3 game in Japan, after Final Fantasy XIII and Final Fantasy XIII-2.
Released on March 1, One Piece Kaizoku Musou sold 655,774 copies on its week of release. It is currently scheduled for release in North America and Europe in November. Namco Bandai Games and Koei Tecmo Games' development studio Omega-Force worked on this "dream collaboration" that combines the pirate story of One Piece with Koei Tecmo's Musou (retitled Warriors in English) action game franchise.
