Let’s cut to the chase. Monster Hunter Portable 3rd for the PSP released on December 1st, putting it two days after the start of this week’s sales chart, which represents sales from November 29th – December 5th, 2010. How did it do?

 

Media-Create’s figures say Monster Hunter Portable 3rd sold 1,950,717 units in its first five days on the market. That’s more or less selling out its first-week shipment of 2 million units, which shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone that follows the series.

 

Meanwhile, Tales of Graces F also released the same week and debuted at 215,187 units. Another interesting point to note is that Konami’s Magician’s Quest: The Merchant’s Store of Sorcery continues to cling on to the charts for dear life, and is now at over 100k units sold.

 

The top-20 for the week of November 29th – December 5th is as follows:
