Phantasy Star Portable starts its handheld adventure with a bang yesterday as 217,000 copies of Sega’s Phantasy Star Universe port were sold on its first day according to Sinobi, who also noted that it’s 90% of the initial shipment and several stores run out of stock of the game. Sega have reportedly increased its shipment to 400,000 copies in the wake of the brisk sales, of which Sinobi says many has been reserved as well and not sure if he can get one for himself this weekend.

The big release of the day is supposed to be Soul Calibur IV for PS3 and Xbox 360, the game sold 91,000 copies with 56,000 copies of them the PS3 version. Nintendo’s Rhythm Tengoku Gold for the DS made a huge start as well with 150,000 copies, ten times better than the GBA version. Hudson’s PC Engine compilations are the other debutant but both start poorly, Tengai Makyou Collection seems to has more fans with 4,000 copies sold while Ginga Ojousama Densetsu Collection managed to sell 2,000.
