Donkey Kong Country Returns sales actually went up for its third week. I think there's a good chance it can eventually become a million seller.

How you know it went up?

また、集計期間がクリスマス前後だったことから、『ドンキーコング リターンズ』が前週から販売本数を伸ばして3位に浮上した。

"Donkey Kong Returns sales increased compared to the previous week..."

I wonder what game will dethrone MHP3 from the #1 slot? Not a lot of big titles in January, but it could be:

1/13 Another Century's Episode Portable (PSP)
1/27 Kenka Banchou 5: Otoko no Housoku (PSP)
1/27 Valkyria Chronicles 3 (PSP)
1/27 The Last Story (Wii)

Or one of the holdover Nintendo titles?

Damn, you might be right cvxfreak!

MC numbers echo what Famitsu said about DKCR. Who would've guessed that this game would go up in sales in its 3rd week??

Not saying it's bad, but I didn't think a new DK game would do so well. Guess it was released at the right time.

What's the last western-developed game to approach a million (or even 750k) in Japan?

This week's Media Create has MHP3rd selling 404k :O
AKB 236k
3rd BD 140k

Predictions:
[PSP] The 3rd Birthday (Square Enix) - 251,356
[PSP] AKB1/48: Idol to Koishitara (Bandai Namco) - 145,980

If we switch these two around, you pretty much nailed it duckroll.

Incredible for MHP3rd. As predicted it will fly by the 3.6 million targeted by Capcom by the end of December.

A bit low for T3B alas. But AKB is as expected. Glad Ninokuni managed to rise a bit from last week. And of course every Nintendo game rose....
