Monster Hunter Portable 2nd reigns supreme during first half of 2007

It is already given that Japan is Nintendo-land especially these days with Wii and DS dominating sales charts. PlayStation Portable fans, however, might be interested to know that the top-selling video game for the first half of 2007 comes from their platform, namely Monster Hunter Portable 2nd.

After showing love for the said title, Japanese gamers revert back to Wii Sports as it landed on the number two spot. Keep in mind that unlike in other markets, Wii Sports is not bundled with the Wii console in Japan.

Then comes Pokemon Diamond and Pearl on third place. Western-hit Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas landed on the 17th spot. For purposes of being fair and accurate, take note that PlayStation 3 titles Dynasty Warriors: Gundam and Virtua Fighter 5 appeared on the 29th and number 96th place respectively.

Furthermore, no Xbox 360 title made it to the top 100 during the first half of this year.

On a related matter, the top publisher in Japan during the said period is still Nintendo followed by Capcom. Nintendo had 32 games in the top 100 while Capcom had 6. While Namco Bandai had 15 and Sega had 10, Capcom remained on the second spot because of Monster Hunter Portable 2nd.
