Eiyuu Densetsu: Sora no Kiseki The 3rd (or The Legend of Heroes: Sora no Kiseki The 3rd) made a promising starts yesterday with around 20,000 copies sold according to retailer blog Sinobi. And it looks good to become another series that’s getting better with every release on the PSP. Its predecessors, Eiyuu Densetsu: Sora no Kiseki FC made 14,000 while Eiyuu Densetsu: Sora no Kiseki SC got 25,000 on their first week (Enterbrain’s data). Last week, it was Gundam Battle Universe who outdid its predecessor with an impressive 138,000 first week sales. However, another PSP new release, NIS adventure game Infinite Loop: Kojyou Ga Miseta Yume, made a poor start of only 2,000 copies.

The usually reliable Jikkyou Powerful Pro Yakyuu series is the best selling new game of the day but the combined figures of 65,000 (50,000 on PS2 and 15,000 on Wii) seems low if compared to its last game, which started with 100,000 combine sales. The PSP version of the game, Jikkyou Powerful Pro Baseball Portable 3, start with more than 110,000 back in May, prompting Sinobi to say that perhaps the series’ fans are shifting to PSP.

Another notable release yesterday is the disc version of PS3’s Siren: New Translation, which sold around 20,000 copies on its first day. Finally, Nintendo’s fun looking Wario Land Shake starts with 10,000 copies.
