Whoa hold the phone, think everyone is getting a little carried away here - these are reportings by separate individual retailers. Just wait until tomorrow when the numbers are officially released.

Sorry dude... One Piece is HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE!!!

The game should have a really good opening weekend simply because it's One Piece which is super popular here in Japan. After that I don't know how the legs will be.

The game is getting hammered on Amazon JP. Out of 535 reviews, 207 have given it 1 star, almost 40%! Combined with the 2 star ratings (113 for that), about 60% of the reviews are 1 or 2 stars. Even DQ9 which got bad reviews on Amazon JP when it first came out had roughly 20% for each of the five star ratings (mixed opinions) although the ultimate hits version is rated higher.

A quick glance at metacritic will show you how useless user scores are.

One Piece Pirate Musou became the top selling One Piece game of all time after just one week of sales. It looks like it may soon cross another milestone for the franchise: first million seller.

In an interview that was posted to Nikkei Trendy today, Namco Bandai CEO Shin Unozawa said that the PS3 crossover title has topped the 900,000 mark as of March 15. This figure includes Japan and Asia.

Much of the 900,000 comes from Japan, where the game has claimed the top sales spot two weeks running. Media Create's most recent sales charts show total sales of 745,907 units through March 11.

Unozawa also spoke about Namco Bandai's sales success for older titles. Dark Souls has crossed the 1.6 million mark worldwide. This includes the game's 400,000 Japanese domestic sales (in Japan, the game is published through From Software).

Tales of Xillia topped 760,000 units while Gundam Extreme sold around 600,000 units. Said Unozawa, the PS3 market isn't as strong as the PS2 was back in its day, but the system has established itself.
