Monster Hunter tops Japan's 100 best-sellers list in '08, MGS4 best-selling PS3 game

The results are in for Japan's Top 100 software sellers for 2008 and the data is certainly unsurprising. Rising to claim the #1 spot is Monster Hunter Portable 2nd G. The PSP phenomenon has been topping the Japanese software charts for most of last year, and is, in fact, still selling hotly in Japan.

The PS3's best-selling game in Japan, Metal Gear Solid 4, barely scratched the top ten as it ranked in at #11. It was knocked out of the top ten by nine Nintendo exclusives, which include the likes of Super Smash Bros. Brawl at #5. But wait, Solid Snake is also in that title ... In a way, you could say he infiltrated the top ten. Back to your old tricks, Snake? And here we thought you had retired.

Monster Hunter is really one of the best game ever created! it really deserved the #1 spot. if only they made an english version of Monster Hunter Portable 2nd G (not the patch), i think it'll be #1 world wide.
