Yes! Finally... Nice to see a PSP game on top when it comes to commercial games. I've played the Japanese version and although I can't read Japanese, the game is really great. I'm looking forward to an English release.
The figures are in and a PSP game tops the charts:
1 Tales of Phantasia Full Voice Edition - PSP - Bandai Namco - 66,263
2 New Super Mario Bros. - DS - Nintendo - 53,011
3 Final Fantasy III - DS - Square Enix - 49,475 /
4 Mogitate Tingle no Bara Iro Rupee Land - DS - Nintendo- 32,792
5 More Brain Age - DS - Nintendo - 32,054
6 Shaberu! DS Cuisine Navi - DS - Nintendo - 25,458
7 Rhythm Tengoku - GBA - Nintendo - 24,676
8 Animal Crossing Wild World - DS - Nintendo - 24,027
9 Phantasy Star Universe - PS2 - Sega - 20,431
10 Mario Basket 3 on 3 - DS - Nintendo - 20,372

The DS is still dominating in Japan. Good job Nintendo.
i thought FFIII would sell a lot more.
Hello:
Certainly, handhelds are growing too fast in Japan. Only one console title enters the top 10. The Rest are PSP and DS titles. It's amazing that a PSP game goes to the top. Also is the only game in the top 10 for Sony's little project. Nintendo still dominates the charts with DS. Hope Wii can match those numbers in the console wars this Christmas.
Your right Emulation_Chief, portables are getting bigger and bigger (all around the world).
Ok, Japanese are crazy. If you didn't know it before, you know now. Have you seen this game? It's just another cookie-cutter Japanese RPG. Super-deformed characters, hand drawn environments, turn based combat, 1990's style Isometric towns, and semi-3D world maps! What a total waste of space!
On the other hand, how come Kingdom of Heaven never made the top selling spots? There's a fully 3D game with real-time combat, awesome Make-Your-Own Combos, pretty good story, great voice acting, and amazing graphics. True, there was a bit too much back tracking, but it was still a gripping, cutting edge, game that NEVER got the press or sales numbers it deserved!
But this crappy, old-skool SNES-ripoff title that takes the top spot! What a travesty! Out of all of the amazing PSP games, this is the one the Japanese love. It's pure MADNESS!
Wow a PSP game at the top. The world is going to end.
