The holiday season officially arrived at the Japanese charts with three titles selling over 250,000 copies. Animal Crossing: City Folk took the top spot as expected with 350,000 copies. Chrono Trigger and Mobile Suit Gundam: Gundam vs. Gundam have a close fight for second and third spot, they sold 271,000 and 267,000 copies respectively. It will be interesting to see if Gundam’s multiplayer focused mechanics will be enough to make it stay longer on the charts, the figure also made the game the fifth fastest selling PSP game so far. All these big numbers mean that not even 1,000 Prinnies are enough to push Prinny: Ore ga Shujinkou de Iinsuka? into the top 10 although the 17,000 copies it sold is actually quite impressive.

Gundam’s incredible sales also includes the hot looking PSP Pack that has a special edition PSP inside. As a result, earlier numbers show that PSP hardware sold around 60,000 units, a 20,000 increase from last week. Another special edition PSP is coming out this week with the Patapon 2 Donchaka♪ Winter Gift Pack. Patapon 2 is also among the nine PSP titles that are coming out today in Japan, so next week will be even more interesting.
