Bleach: Heat the Soul 5 made a great start in Japan last week with around 40,000 copies sold and seems to be well on its way to beat the series’ previous sales record (Bleach: Heat the Soul 4 sold 120,000 copies so far). Unfortunately, the other PSP debutant, Irem’s Ikuze! Gen-San: Yuuyake Daiku Monogatari, did poorly with only less than 2,000 copies sold, thanks to Weekly Famitsu rather average review of 6,5,6,6 (the one hit death and long loading time are the major complaints).

It’s rather pleasing to see two PSP games in the Top 10 with the rest being Nintendo’s games as well. Monster Hunter Portable 2nd G’s close fight with Mario Kart Wii continues with a top spot for each on Media Create and Enterbrain respectively.
