Fate/Extra wasn’t a huge breakout hit, but it didn’t do terribly either. The Imageepoch-developed RPG based on Type-Moon’s popular franchise debuted at the #2 spot in last week’s sales rankings.
While Extra couldn’t crash Nintendo’s Wii Party — going strong at #1 in its third week at retail — the 72,000 units it moved is very respectable, especially for Marvelous Entertainment. For comparison, just two weeks prior, MMV published Harvest Moon: Twins’ Village — one of their better known franchises — which debuted at 63,610 units.
The only other new release to debut in the top-ten for the week of July 19th – 25th was Katekyoo Hitman Reborn! DS Flame Rumble XX. Rankings were as follows:
| Lw | Tw | Title | Tw. Sales | Sys. | Publisher |
| 04. | 01. | Wii Party | 98,564 | Wii | Nintendo |
| New | 02. | Fate/Extra | 72,170 | PSP | Marvelous |
| 07. | 03. | Inazuma Eleven 3: Challenge the World! Spark / Bomber | 44,451 | DS | Level 5 |
| 01. | 04. | Fire Emblem: New Mystery of the Emblem – Hero of Light and Shadow | 39,459 | DS | Nintendo |
| 02. | 05. | Dragon Quest Monsters: Battle Road Victory | 35,795 | Wii | Square Enix |
| 06. | 06. | PowerPros Baseball 2010 | 29,184 | PSP | Konami |
| 03. | 07. | PowerPros Baseball 2010 | 28,258 | PS3 | Konami |
| 11. | 08. | Super Mario Galaxy 2 | 21,313 | Wii | Nintendo |
| 05. | 09. | Last Ranker | 20,741 | PSP | Capcom |
| New | 10. | Katekyoo Hitman Reborn! DS Flame Rumble XX – Kessen! Shin 6 Chouka | 19,540 | DS | Takara Tomy |
Amidst last week’s notable underperformers were poor Lost in Shadow on Wii (#39) and Densha de Go! Tokubetsu-hen: Fukkatsu Shouwa no Yamatesen on DS (#30). Blur, published by Square Enix in Japan, debuted at the very bottom, at #50.
Not much luckier was Class of Heroes 2G (PS3), which debuted at #23 despite receiving a price-drop even before release. Then again, 2G is a port of a PSP game.
