Monster Hunter Portable 3rd Walks Away With Quadruple Platinum PlayStation Award

The winners of the annual PlayStation awards are in and Monster Hunter Portable 3rd was presented with an honor made just for Capcom’s PSP game. Sony gave the title a quadruple platinum prize for exceeding four million units. While critical acclaim is the focus of many award shows, the PlayStation Awards are tied to game sales.
