Japan software sales: PSP Monster Hunter still raging ahead

Monster Hunter mayhem shows little sign of abating in Japan selling almost three times as much as the No. 2 game.

Third Birthday maker Square must be a little disappointed about its performance, but surely the MH-playing hordes will start looking for something else to play soon (okay, scratch that thought).

Those Idol lovers in fourth spot must be having a great time, wonder if they can jig up a version of America's Next Top Model using the same engine?
