The week of October 25th – October 31st, 2010 saw the release of our second contender in the PSP co-op multiplayer division: God Eater Burst. Let’s see how it holds up against the competition:

 

Title First Week Sales Publisher
Phantasy Star Portable 2 286,896 SEGA
God Eater (original) 295,405 Namco Bandai
Lord of Arcana 69,932 Square Enix
God Eater Burst 263,150 Namco Bandai

 

Not too shabby, considering the release of Monster Hunter Portable 3rd is a month away. Other major releases this week included Solatorobo, Golden Sun: Dark Dawn and Pro Evolution Soccer 2011 from Konami.

 

Oh, and somehow…Idea Factory are still managing to make money off of PS2 games.
