This week marked the return to Japan of a historical horror series badged SquareEnix (then Squaresoft): Parasite Eve, revived with a true third installment (after the first two on PSone) developed exclusively for Sony PSP. Parasite Eve: The 3rd Birthday debuted in weekly sales in sixth place, with a total of about 140,000 copies sold.A figure all in all modest than expected, even considering that The 3rd Birthday has long figured in the rankings of "most wanted" and considering the excellent success of PSP in Japan. PSP games are just two in fact to occupy the top two places in the ranking: 3rd Capcom's Monster Hunter Portable, now launched more than three million units in less than two months, the novice adventure AKB1/48 of Bandai / Namco.
We hope that the new Parasite Eve still managed to score enough sales to justify - as already said by SquareEnix - any later, maybe on console "home".
