Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Monter Hunter tri sales

It's hard to be disappointed in sales like these, especially since a lot of 3rd party Wii titles get nowhere near that amount on their opening week (although some HAVE proven to be longtail sellers). So this is as good as it gets for a 3rd party Wii title.

I can't make an argument unless that is first decided.

It has performed well above general expectations in the West so I think the sales are great. I still haven't tried it myself but it looks really fun! Definitely on my purchase list.

Seems like a game you'd enjoy man, I played MHF2 on the PSP, found things to be a bit too... complex isn't the word... more or less there's a lot you need to know and they don't really tell you how to even begin to learn all the little things.  MH3 opens this up, its more user firendly, I feel now I could go back to MHF2 and play, but the game itself is pretty great.  When I play I feel like I'm playing WoW except without the stupid leveling from 1 to 80, once you max out its all about the gear, and thats an addicting thing about MH, its always "one more piece of armor, one more upgrade"

Could be, but here's the thing - from my observations, the Wii games that NPD had lower than Vgchartz were usually games that didn't leave a mark on stores like Gamestop, and possibly had better sales in places like Walmart that NPD guesses at. This game on the other hand seems to have done well on Gamestop, and so while it is always possible NPD will have lower numbers, I wouldn't be totally surprised if NPD's numbers will be same or even higher in this case... Keeping my fingers crossed.

For illustration's sake of my point - while for lower profile games it is often the opposite, VGChartz numbers for NSMBWii are almost always below NPD numbers.
