Monster Hunter Has A Merry Christmas In Japan

The PlayStation Portable represented well in Japan’s Christmastime hardware contest thanks to the continued sales rampage of Monster Hunter Portable 3rd and idol worship game AKB1/48: Idol to Koishitara… and maybe even The 3rd Birthday.

The latest Monster Hunter game for the PSP has racked up more than 3.5 million sales in Japan, something the pop group AKB48-themed title and Square Enix’s The 3rd Birthday will have a hard time matching. Another pair of monster hunting titles in the top ten, Pokemon Black and Pokemon White, appear to be on the cusp of selling an impressive five million copies overseas.

And kudos to the Retro Studios-made Donkey Kong Country Returns, which crosses the half-million mark in Japan, according to sales tracker Media Create.
