Capcom's Monster Hunter Portable 2nd G also retained its runner up slot with 93,000 units sold on its fifth week on the charts. This week also saw up to 13 new titles entering the list with Sega's new strategy RPG Valkyria Chronicles inserted as the top three game of the week.

Other notable titles include the new Taiko Drum Master game for the DS with 56,000 copies sold. Even the Xbox 360 got a little loving this week as Ubisoft's Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Vegas 2 was included on the list.
