Phantasy Star Portable (PSP) and Rhythm Tengoku Gold (NDS) being with impressive weeks, with Phantasy Star Portable hoping to capture some of the market that has drove the Monster Hunter Portable series to success. Rhythm Tengoku Gold getting the number two spot has it set to eclipse the original GBA game's lifetime sales, if it hasn't already. Soul Calibur IV for the 360 has a near 100% sell-through, with most, if not all copies it has sold, being done on the first day. Fatal Frame IV's (WII) 33k puts it on par with opening weeks for previous entries in the series, having sold 12k more since its 21k first day sales. Dragon Quest V (NDS), Wii Fit (WII) and Mario Kart Wii (WII) continue to sell, with DQV DS set to hit the million mark next week.

The numbers of titles in the top thirty has the DS once again in front with 12 out of the 30 titles, followed by the Wii with 7, PSP with 6, the PS2 and PS3 with 2 each, with the 360 bringing up the rear with 1.
