Following last year's surprise retail performance from Metal Gear Solid Portable Ops, it looks like Japan is getting set for another PSP hit. A well-known retailer blog reports today that retail orders for Monster Hunter Portable 2nd, due for Japanese release on February 22, are closing in on the 500,000 mark.
Such demand is rare for PSP titles. In fact, the blog states that only two titles, SD Gundam G Generation Portable and Portable Ops, have seen initial orders top the 150,000 mark.
This success shouldn't come as too much of a surprise given sales of the original. Monster Hunter Portable (known as Monster Hunter Freedom in America) sold over 650,000 units through its standard edition. On top of this, the blog reports that the game's budget version sold 200,000 units, placing the Capcom title well above the system's previous hot shot, Minna no Golf Portable.
