Final Fantasy and Metal Gear tag team Japanese sales chart
The relaunch of PSP has landed PSP the top position of the Japanese software sales charts again for the second week in a row. Certainly, this is quite an impressive feat, considering Nintendo's juggernaut control over the region. Once again, it comes as no surprise that Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core topped the charts, with an additional 109,000 units sold according to Gamasutra. A PSP newcomer ranks second in the charts: Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops Plus, which sold 93,000 units. Considering Plus is an expansion pack for the original Portable Ops, we're impressed.
We hope this PSP sales renaissance continues because the handheld certainly deserves more recognition than its garnered amongst hardcore gamers. We'll have to see whether or not Crisis Core will have the lasting power to stay at the top of the charts.
