Square Enix Rockets To The Top Of Japan’s Sales Charts With Star Ocean

By Dr. Evelyn Reed | October 12, 2025 | 7 min read

Square Enix’s Star Ocean 4 helped propel the Xbox 360 to the front of the console pack in Japan, thanks to an impressive 162,000 copies sold in just one week. That’s damn good.

The new role-playing game yono all app knocked off last week’s champ, Mario & Luigi RPG3!!!, a Nintendo DS title whose fall was cushioned by a trio of new Idolm@ster games for the PSP. Don’t ever say that Namco Bandai doesn’t know how to milk. The rest of the week’s new debuts, including the Japanese release of Dead Rising: Chop Til You Drop and Metroid Prime for the Wii, weren’t so spectacular.

While a handful of new titles couldn’t crack the top ten, PlayStation 3 games Street Fighter IV and Demon’s Souls held strong, selling well enough to hang in there for one more week.

I appreciate the themed slot games, especially those based on movies and TV shows. They make the gaming experience more engaging and immersive. The combination of storyline, visuals, and bonus features makes each game feel unique. The progressive jackpots are thrilling, and it's exciting to watch the jackpot amounts grow as more players spin the reels. I hope they add even more jackpot slots because it adds a lot of excitement to the gameplay.

The platform keeps me engaged for hours every day. Sometimes I wish there were more ways to earn rewards through loyalty programs or frequent player bonuses. Adding seasonal events or special challenges could enhance the excitement even further. I appreciate the themed slot games, especially those based on movies and TV shows.
