Barely a week after breaking the 750K mark in just two weeks since its Japanese release, Monster Hunter Portable 2nd hits and tops the platinum mark in shipments. With this feat, Capcom is awarded yet another platinum hit to stash under their belt, and the first platinum hit for the PSP handheld.

While there are no concrete figures coming from the company themselves, independent sales tracker Media Create had already pegged this particular Monster Hunter title at over 700,000 in its first week alone atop Japanese retail shelves. This is certainly proof, without a doubt, that the franchise is kicking strong on that side of the Pacific. Corollary to this, Capcom has also announced that the shipment figures for the first title of Monster Hunter Portable is also nearing the million shipped mark, too.

And with all the success coming their way, it won't be too farfetched for Capcom to go ahead with another one. Apparently, more Monster Hunters don't hurt in the least bit.
