3DS version seems inevitable. Though, they should do it early to ride the wave and actually keeps selling like most Nintendo titles.


Hmm Monster Hunter 4 for PS3 and MH4P for 3DS sound likely.

LOL. The portable series won't be jumping ship anytime soon. Capcom would be stupid to take such a risk.

Erm, Capcom would be stupid to "risk" putting the next MH on the 3DS?

As opposed to putting it where?

I stand by my prediction of MHP3 having the biggest opening for any game in Japan.


Are you counting Pokémon Black and White as separate for these purposes?


Nope, combined.

Sinobi mentioned that first shipment is only expected to be 1m btw.

Pre-orders are already at 1 million and the release date is still a month and a half away. Pokemon white/black pre-orders were at 1.65 million when released, MHP3 will likely have more.

Hmm seems like a lot of people are going to be upset, the PSP could become the leading handheld there now too completing a double whammy for Sony.

Would be interesting to hear what ioi and TheSource would say about the situation.

so he's saying that a game targeting boys will sell a million more due to increased awareness from a game targeting girls with the same name?

MikeB predicts that the PS3 will sell about 140 million units by the end of 2016 and triple the amount of 360s in the long run.

Oh, it could certainly change (and I'd be more surprised if it didn't), just wanted to throw that out there.

Alright then... weird. Still, fun for fans, I guess.

And yeah I know it's not Animal Crossing, it just looks like it. A Lot. That's why I said graphics- and style-wise. Really, I didn't even know this game existed, but if I just saw some videos or screens of it, I'd totally think it was a new Animal Crossing. And so would most people, I think...

Ah well.


well graphics wise i think its more of a Harvest Moon than Animal Crossing to be honest.

in towns it has the same gameplay as well.

 

Are you even remotely serious? Come on... :-S

Seriously, the MH Felyne game:

So it's going to sell 1 million less than its predecesor. OK.

Bets with Conegamer:

Pandora's Tower will have an opening week of less than 37k in Japan. (Won!)
Pandora's Tower will sell less than 100k lifetime in Japan.
Stakes: 1 week of avatar control for each one.
