Ishaan’s note: This column usually goes up on Wednesdays, but had to be pushed back due to E3. Apologies for the delay; regular schedule will resume next week.
Last week saw the release of Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D – find our recent playtest here — providing the Nintendo 3DS with another slight boost of about 3,000 units as compared to the week prior. The Mercenaries 3D held the top spot in the software sales chart at nearly 59,000 units, followed by One Piece: Unlimited Cruise SP.
5pb’s all-gals fighter, Phantom Breaker, also made its debut during the week at 9,960 units, while several of the more popular usual contenders in the software chart (such as Pokémon and Monster Hunter) rose up in position due to it being a relatively slow week with few new releases.
