LOL, if we judged all titles by the most optimistic fanboy projections, 99% of titles would be failures.

 Hehe, true. But many Vgchartz users were quite adament that this was a huge title that would move millions in no time. Infact; some claimed it would outsell a lot of the PS2's top franchises in Japan alone...

What do you think Fishy? I'm guessing lifetime sales of about 10-12 mill WW for this title. 

I'm pretty sure 200-250k would not constitute a miss, for it too miss I would say in 150k first week and south after that-

I think the problem with many of the predictions is that they did not take into account Nintendo's release strategy. By all accounts, Nintendo had no intention at all of putting more than a few hundred thousand (300, 000 if our numbers are right) copies of Wii fit out for purchase in case it didn't pull the numbers they wanted. The absolute last thing Nintendo would have needed was to purchase landfill space if Wii fit failed. This way they don't rick as much, although they do limit their sales rate as well.

I'm willing to bet hard cash that MHP2G sells way better than MH3.

Not into the series myself.. 

I agree, mainly because the Monster Hunter series has been far more popular on the PSP than it was on the PS2 which may indicate that people enjoy it more as a portable game ...

 Really? How much, what escrow service do you use and for what time period?

Place your bets.

 No it won't outsell the PS2's franchises just in Japan, but WW oh yeah, but not at once, nope, it'll be a continuous long trending sales, spiking up everytime a new game or series of games which utilize the board are released
