Monster Hunter 3 dropped more than I would have hoped. Still it is now the best selling home console Monster Hunter, as well as the top third party title on current gen home consoles in Japan, passing Metal Gear Solid 4. Hopefully the upcoming holiday will give it a better hold and allow it to inch over the million mark. That said any talk of it being able to retain best selling third party title after Final Fantasy XIII comes out should be gone.
For the rest of the chart, it looks like a very solid week in Japan, with all of the top 10 selling more than 30k. I'm sure there have been weeks where 30k would have been good for almost the top spot.
