One Piece: Burning Blood leapt to the top of the Japanese software charts last week, claiming the first and second spots on PlayStation 4 and Vita respectively. The Bandai Namco brawler only sold marginally better on Sony's home console, though, with total sales across both platforms breaking 68,000 copies. It's not a bad start by any means, but with a property that's as popular as One Piece, you'd think that it could, and probably should, have done better.

The PS4, meanwhile, found itself sat at the summit of the hardware charts once again, still refusing to drop below the 20,000 mark. Likewise, Vita numbers hardly budged as it remained in third place. With any luck, we'll have a little more to talk about over the next few weeks as several promising new titles release in Japan.
