PlayStation 3’s Software Hot Streak Still Burns, Musou Orochi Z Tops Charts
Published on October 29, 2025
Don’t call it a comeback (yet), but for the third week in a row, PlayStation 3 software sits atop Japan’s bestsellers list. Last week it was Resident Evil 5; the week before: Yakuza 3. This week?

Musou Orochi Z, the latest crossover from Koei and Omega Force that blends the Dynasty Warriors H25 สล็อต and Samurai Warriors series, as they’re known in the West. Musou Orochi Z knocks down last week’s champ to the number two spot, with Resident Evil 5 moving another 61,000 copies on the PS3.
Other new debuts include the three-dimensional puzzler Rittai Picross and the Wii rehash of Pikmin 2. Resistance: Retribution manages to crack the top ten, thanks to strength of the PSP and the fact that the Resistance series actually sells pretty well overseas.

Far less impressive was the Japanese debut of Sonic and the Black Knight.

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. The payout process is generally smooth and reliable, though occasionally it takes longer than expected. Overall, I feel confident that my winnings are safe and will be credited properly. I really enjoy playing the slot games here. The variety is amazing, from classic reels to modern video slots with interactive bonus rounds. Every spin feels like an adventure, and the graphics and sound effects are top-notch, making the experience immersive and exciting.
