Phantasy Star Portable continues its fine run in Japan with Sega confirmed that it has shipped 500,000 copies of the game to retailers in its first week. A great performance for Sega which Mainichi says is not unlike Virtua Fighter 2’s launch on the Dreamcast.
In another article at Mainichi, PSP (the system) is the best selling hardware for the fifth month in a row based on Enterbrain’s figure. Around 250,000 units of our favorite handheld were sold in July and Namco Baindai’s Gundam Battle Universe contributed to that with 190,000 copies sold during the month, the third best selling software of the month. Dragon Quest V took top stop with an amazing 860,000 copies with Persona 4 at 2nd with 260,000.
