According to data from tracking firm Media Create, and as posted on NeoGAF, the game stayed at number one despite a decline in sales to 81,938 units sold from 118,173 in the previous week. There were five new entries into the Japanese charts, with Bandai Namco's Queen's Gate: Spiral Chaos and Atlus' Devil Survivor 2 settling in nicely at numbers two and three respectively. Elsewhere, newcomers Hakuouki: Reimeiroku Portable and Operation Flashpoint: Red River entered at numbers 10 and 11, while Square Enix saw its Dungeon Siege III jump into the charts at number 18.
