Over 10 million PSP units sold in Japan, top 5 games

Can you believe it? Famitsu reports that according to statistics provided by Enterbrain, ten million units of the PSP have been sold since its introduction to Japan back in the December of 2004. We knew this already, but there is some software news as well. The top game was Monster Hunter 2nd G with almost 2.4 million copies sold. With three games on the top 5, Japan sure loves Monster Hunter.

1. Monster Hunter 2nd G (release date 03/27/08: 2,396,642 copies sold)

2. Monster Hunter 2nd (release date 02/22/07: 1,706,387 copies sold)

3. Crisis Core - Final Fantasy VII (release date 09/13/07: 790,705 copies sold)

4. Monster Hunter Portable (release date 12/01/05: 668,964 copies sold)

5. Phantasy Star Portable (release date 07/31/08: 545,242 copies sold)

The PSP has been beaten by the DS in the hardware sales chart during the past two weeks. But with the PSP Brite coming out in October and Dissidia: Final Fantasy coming out in December, we believe the PSP will be back on top in no time.
