And once again One Piece beats all the asses in manga sales for the third consecutive week

I'm thinking your definition of "obviously" isn't shared by a lot of people. SAO is on track to be the second best selling show of the season. It's a definite major hit and damn popular.

SAO is definitely not well made in my opinion... was no where as engaging as the novel's order

SAO comes out a full month later, so I wouldn't compare those estimates directly. Horizon has gotten 1502 hourly updates at Stalker while SAO has only seen 837. If you compare SAO to where Horizon was at 837 hours, Horizon has a better peak (2 vs 4), better average (14 vs 16) and better lowest rank (37 vs 44). Of course, these are all very close numbers, so it won't be too shocking if they end up selling about the same. I expect Horizon to be higher on BD, but SAO should have modest DVD sales too while Horizon is BD only.

SAO Vol. 1 was dropping into the 30-40s too, before Vol. 3 got solicited just in the past day or two and sent them all back into the top 10 for the moment. I expect that'll happen for a while each time a new disc is solicited, because SAO is being done one at a time and Horizon was all solicited from the start.

It´s not even something worth mentioning anymore, One Piece alone at the top just became common sense.
