In commemoration of PS3's second birthday, Famitsu wrote a small feature on the console's highlights, as well as a list of the PS3's best-selling titles in Japan as of November 16th, 2008.

Coming in at #1 is Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, selling 671,706 since its launch.

Here's the Top 5:

Num. Title Publisher Release Date Sales (as at Nov 16, 2008)

World Soccer Winning Eleven 2008 Konami Nov 22, 2007 316,533

Despite being the newest release on that chart, MGS4 has absolutely no problem leaving the competition in the dust. Haven't played Minna no Golf 5, so I don't know how that made it to top two, but I suppose the Japanese are crazy about it. World Soccer Winning Eleven 2008, on the other hand, is definitely a keeper (no pun intended).

What about you? What are your top five PS3 games?

Well...

Japanese love golf....you can look at google maps of tokyo and see a ridiculous amount of golf courses... Also to the people above me, nice western perspective top 5's, but we are talking Japan here....guess you don't know Japanese... Still, I am surprised none of these have sold over a million copies....that's pretty weak....

MGS4 GTA4 Resistance 2 Mirror's Edge Warhawk Haven't played LIlBigPlanet yet, but will prolly get it. Also, how is Drakes Fortune? I don't know if its worth buying cuz i hear its only 5-6 hours long with no multi-player. And Assasin's Creed is another one i was wondering about...

I don't care what they like

Dynasty Warriors is a terrible, awful, boring, useless game, and I don't see how any sane person can enjoy it and all its god damn rehashes. The simple fact that not one but TWO of it's *****ty games are on that list sickens me
