Just a quick update to how Capcom's Monster Hunter Portable 2nd is doing over in Japan. While it's no suprise that the game broke the 500,000 mark on its first day, fans of the franchise can take great pride in knowing that not only is the game still topping sales charts in Japan in its first week, but is now running strong at a staggering 755,000 copies sold.

VGcharts - see the disparity for the #1 slot? - Image 1 


As for the other contenders in VGchart's top ten, we have Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Matsuri for the PS2 coming in at second, with with Fire Emblem for the Wii is also enjoying its first week at #3 with a healthy 74,000 sales. As expected, top Japan picks like Dragon Quest Monsters Joker and Pokemon Diamond/Pearl are holding fast to numbers 7 and 8 respectively, although the fact that Monster Hunter is already nearing the one-million mark is sure to grab anybody's attention - double that it's a PSP title fighting in DS country.

Let's see how the game will also do in the charts once it gets released in North America (under the name Monster Hunter Freedom 2) come September 2007. Stay tuned for more news on Monster Hunter Portable 2nd.

Many DS games on the chart, but one Monster Hunter Portable 2nd plus three other games manages to get the PSP to the top of the Software Total Charts this week.
Also, its seems that good software charts also contributed to the hardware sells, PSP is second this week, only behind DS and dusted the Wii.

"Let's see how the game will also do in the charts once it gets released in North America (under the name Monster Hunter Freedom 2) come September 2007."

So does this mean that it has officially been announced for a North American release? I thought so far, it is only confirmed for PAL release.
