It turned out to be only about 620K.
This is the correct answer.
i still don't understand this Monster Hunter phenomenon. I mean, I get how it fits a portable platform and why it might suddenly do a bit better than its console brothers... but I don't get why it's doing this well. And is this the type of game that has legs? I remember Monster Hunter Portable 1 being the only PSP game I've seen on the charts for months. There's a formula there, Sony has to capture it somehow and market it into a even more insane phenomenon.
We could call it... Pokemon.... you know, Monsters in your pocket or something!

Fantastic numbers for MH and the PSP. I had a sneaking suspicion that it might end up near 100k for the week, terrific numbers. Just goes to show what the right software can do.
Delighted to see Sim City up there as well, I was thinking 50k ltd, not first week. Hopefully it'll have some good legs and go well beyond 100k.

Monster Hunter Portable 2 sales are amazing! PSP hw sales are also excellent.
MS has a great relationship with Capcom, so they would be wise to pay for an exclusive MH game for 360. It could sell a decent amount and would improve the install base in Japan.
Many older games are continuing to take a beating in Japan, which is understandable, so FE's sales are expected. I think it's going to fall pretty hard next week and end up ~110k total. The game sounds awesome and I can't wait to play it, but I think it's time for Intelligent Systems to give the franchise a rest for a while, and come back with something new for the series. They're an awesome team, so I hope they create an amazing new franchise for Wii, specifically designed to make use of the new controls.
Wii has a nice spread of titles in the top 10, it's going to be interesting to see what kind of hw numbers it manages. I think the next big titles are a while away, in April, so hopefully Nintendo has time to increase the size of shipments to retail ready for Super Paper Mario, Big Brain Academy and One Piece. At this point, I think Nintendo could comfortably increase Wii production to 1.5 million units per month.
DS sales continue to be incredible, and so are the sw sales. Seeing so many titles continuing to sell out is great, but 3rd parties really need to start anticipating demand more accurately or Nintendo needs to improve its cartridge production capacity, to ensure better supplies.

3 things:
1. for the 500k first day sales that were reported, i'm kind of surprised to see MHP not hit at least 900k. Just something I expected.
2. Why are people calling Fire Emblem a "bomb"? This title is completely in line to sell just as well if not better than its counterparts. 70k is pretty good, for that franchise.
3. As I suspected, PSP hit roughly 100k with the MH boost.

Looks like Wii is going to have the same problem the DS had for a little while:
Buying the non-traditional games WAY too much and letting traditional games (especially 3rd parties) suffer horribly. This time though, it's affecting Nintendo titles as well. Here's hoping FE has legs.
EDIT: Let me correct this. It still might be too soon to say that, because a lot of launch systems have 1-2 titles that dominate while others are less-sold. The true test will be when Dragon Quest Swords appears. I honestly don't expect it to do well because of the type of game it is. It looks nice and somethign the Japanese may like, but it reminds me of Children of Mana.
And did anyone notice? The Fab/Four is no more! (NSMB, Animal Crossing, Brain Age 2 and Pokemon Diamond/Pearl)

The sad part is that the initial sales boost from MHP2 will go back down to the status quo in a week.
OK, there's one thing I find unclear about Dragon Quest Monster Joker. It disappeared completely from the top 30, but then it returned all the way back into the top 10. Why did this happen? Did they totally underestimate the sales of the game, or is there some kind of DS cart shortage going on? Or is it both, perhaps?
