You're right. I've read somewhere that One piece sold even better than DBZ back when it was THE manga to read. I guess you al have a point. In terms of poupularity, all the other anime together can't touch One piece at the moment and epxecting a bigger boost was not really justified based on the data we have about each franchise's popularity and releases.

It is THE manga to read in Japan... it never lost the first place (well few times due Nana).

2013 Manga Sales Ranking Top 30 (series)

2013 Manga Sales Ranking Top 30 (volume)

I said the difference in popularity in Japan is abyssal.

Thanks, Ethomaz. That was very informative. Quite a few manga surprised me (didn't expect a basketball manga to be above Naruto).

Its the massive Yaoi fandom

Dang, Nintendo's pricing for the US was awful. It was $50 cheaper in Japan. -_-

Nah, they just like Basketball Manga :D

Slam Dunk for example has sold over 120 million units (7th best overall) and has a very impressive volume to units sold ratio, only being beaten by 3 other series:

Dragon Ball: 5,47mio/volume

One Piece: 4.73mio/volume

Astro Boy: 4.35mio/volume

Slam Dunk: 3.87mio/volume

...

Naruto: 1.94mio/volume

I don't understand why Sony doesn't bring MLB The Show over to Japan.

Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

I don't think it'd do very well. They could definitely target the market well with all of the Japanese ball players that have been signed to big contracts in MLB. Put them on the cover, use them to advertise it and translate it all. It has potential but would be a big gamble that could flop completely.
