The past few weeks have been very kind to Sony and its products over in the land of the rising sun. Following great numbers for Gran Turismo 5 which came in at almost 500K sold, Sony sees those numbers heavily boosted this past week with the debuts of Tales of Graces F on the PS3 and Monster Hunter Portable 3rd on the PSP. The PSP also saw a huge boost on the hardware front thanks to Monster Hunter.
Monster Hunter debuted at the top spot of the Japanese Media Create charts with close to two-million units sold, a feat to be expected of a series so popular in Japan. Tales of Graces F didn’t have the same numbers, but still had a strong debut in the #2 spot with 200K sold on the PlayStation 3 in its first week. The impressive numbers don’t stop there with the PlayStation portable hardware numbers jumping to 323K for the week. The PS3 came back to earth a bit following GT5 with 41K sold.
