Just last week it was reported White Knight Chronicles had broken sales records for the RPG genre in Japan this generation, selling over 200 000 copies in its first week of sale. A similar instance has occurred during the second week of going on sale, a further 74 000 copies flying off the shelves. In comparison MGS4, one of the best selling games on the PS3 only achieved 64 000 in its second week in Japan.

The PS3 exclusive White Knight Chronicles has now set a benchmark for 2nd week sales. After selling more than 200,000 in it's first week, the title continues to sell, according to the latest Famitsu numbers. Though it slipped from 1st to 6th overall in the rankings in it's second week, White Knight still sold 74,000 copies, which sets the record for best 2nd week of sales. It beat out Metal Gear Solid 4 and Devil May Cry 4, which went from 480,000 to 64,000 and 212,000 to 34,000, respectively
