The era of horrible English dub of One Piece is long over. It's freaking 2014 and believe me, today, 9 out of 10 average western anime/manga fans who have an internet connection in their houses, have at least heard of One Piece.
The difference is still big, even while comparing the results from the month of June, 2014 alone.
You can completely omit US and Europe from the Google Trends diagram and compare the results from only Asia and Africa, Naruto will still have a higher 'interest score'.
And regarding the overall western manga sales being low, the reason for that is simple: online providers of manga scans (Panda and Sream currently). I'm pretty sure, that if those scanlators stopped posting the manga scans weekly, all the millions of fans, those who wake up early in the mornings on Wednesdays just to read Naruto, would go crazy, buying all the available English volumes, hence increasing the western sales rates and the overall market share.
All in all, I don't see why this current conditions makes you (One Piece fans) mad, as we (Naruto fans) acknowledge the fact, that One Piece sells way more than Naruto. You've got the sales, we've got the popularity.

I never said you dont have the most popularity popularity atm lol, but than again so does Justin Bieber

No, Naruto is currently the most popular manga which equates to JB or any other artist that is extremely popular at any given moment
OP on the other hand is the best selling manga of all time ... Do you know the best selling music artists of all time? Its The Beatles, followed by Led Zepp, Pink Floyd, Queen, Sinatra, etc

;)

That 'currently' has lasted for more than 10 years already, which is IMO more than enough to not be addressed as a 'moment'. ~

Like I said before, popularity in the west really doesn't matter. That's like asking how they rate Texas country music in Japan.

In Japan everybody even adults eat. sleep and drink manga and anime and are raised with it. In the rest of the world there is just this tiny fraction of nerds who are into this stuff of black and white comics that you have to read backwards.

Also Naruto hasn't been running for 17 years, One Piece just had its 15th anniversary and was out before Naruto.

And taste is subjective but only for place 2-9999. It's a fact that One Piece is the best of all time.

Japanese manga market is like 99% of the entire world's manga market. It really doesn't matter much who sells most in Europe or the US that is just peanuts.
Where did you get that statistic from? Lol

Naruto is 'more popular' in the west but does that really matter when One Piece is in a league on its own in the country of manga and anime?
Uhh cool. But people like me gives no shit about one country. I care more about worldwide.

I'm so tired of this shit! Everybody makes post like this but it's your own personal opinion so don't ask other people. There have been more than 100 post about this every month basically so everybody should calm the **** down and judge them yourselves

^Comes to a website that is made for debating.

Tells people to keep opinions to themselves.

One Piece.
Bleach.

For me. ~




Not in the yearly sales maybe, but Naruto still dominates the other 2 in the worldwide
Does that really matter?

OT: I haven't read/watched Bleach but I'm sure it's better than Naruto. Anything is better than Naruto with b*tchy Obito laying around. Seriously, Naruto is the only fandom where people flat out hate the characters (it's not because they hate them cause they're good villains but just that they're characters are SOOOOOOOOO sh*tty). I.E. Sakura, Obito, TenTen, Kabuto, etc. So many terrible characters...

1. One Piece
2. Bleach
3. Naruto

No, I simply listed the 3 best shonens ever written ;)

Sales have absolutely nothing to do with it
