Japan's top 30 for the year, Square and Monster Hunter rake it in

With the 3DS going batshit in Japan, its not much a surprise to see it dominate the top of the software chart, but the ageing PSP did pretty well with seven games in the top 30 and two in the top 10. Square did pretty well with its last two big titles while relative newbies Little Battler and AKB1/48 prop up the bottom. The stalwarts of the PSP, Monster Hunter and Phantasy Star Portable 2 show just how much legs those games and the PSP had.
