The latest Media Create sales have appeared, showing the new Kingdom Hearts has hit No.1. Square Enix's latest PSP release may have not started anywhere near as strong as Crisis Core: FF7 or Dissidia: Final Fantasy, but it is already within touching distance of the DS Kingdom Hearts' sales total after just its first couple of days on sale. With massive shortages of New Super Mario Bros. Wii in Japan right now, seeing the game manage to cling onto the No.2, just ahead of Friend Collection on DS, just goes to show how eager the gaming otaku are to find any copy available around the country.
Check out the data released so far (last week's positions are in brackets), including early hardware numbers that show how much of a boost the PSP received thanks to Kingdom Hearts:
