It looks like Famitsu is still getting the info just as fast, but they are waiting an extra week before they post it on their site.
Anyways, it looks like MGS2 sold extremely well in the first week, and the PS2 price drop sold a lot of PS2s too.
Console sales:
PS2 108,161 (2,845,458)
GC 44,462 (473,250)
