Another Week, Another PSP Game at No. 1 in Japan

This time its Dissidia 012: Duodecim kicking its way straight into the top spot, past a struggling bunch of 3DS games that really should be doing better for the launch of a whole new system. Last week's No. 1 Gundam added another 50,000 sales with five PSP titles (below) in the top 10 as published on vgchartz.

1) Dissidia 012: Duodecim Final Fantasy (PSP) - 274,000
5) SD Gundam G Generation World (PSP) - 50,000
6) Star Driver: Kagayaki no Takuto - Ginga Bishounen Densetsu (PSP) - 42,000
8) Phantasy Star 2 Infinity (PSP) - 38,000
9) Monster Hunter Portable 3 (PSP) - 26,000

Anyone writing their "PSP is dead" pieces had better have a nice piece on Japan just to show a balanced picture!
