The PS3 exclusive White Knight Chronicles has now set a benchmark for 2nd week sales.  After selling more than 200,000 in it's first week, the title continues to sell, according to the latest Famitsu numbers.  Though it slipped from 1st to 6th overall in the rankings in it's second week, White Knight still sold 74,000 copies, which sets the record for best 2nd week of sales.  It beat out Metal Gear Solid 4 and Devil May Cry 4, which went from 480,000 to 64,000 and 212,000 to 34,000, respectively.

The Japanese New Year is one of the most celebrated holidays in Japan, which may have contributed to the sales.

White Knight Chronicles is an action RPG developed by Level-5.  The PS3 exclusive has been confirmed for a US release, though the date has yet to be finalized.
