I have it on good authority though that it won't as well as the PSP version.

Smartest move Nintendo has made in the last 3-4 years was getting Monster Hunter exclusivity. Can't argue with those results, they shouldn't be afraid to spend a few bucks/make a few bribes if it means getting something that will actually move hardware and galvanize other third parties to join in.

Monster Hunter in Japan also brings in that slightly older demographic (teenagers/college kids/adults) that Nintendo some times struggles with.

Duplicate and you should put shipped as the word sold seems to confuse people who dont know the difference.

I'm pretty sure MH4 will have over 90% sold ratio.

Very likely but we do not have that information right now.  At the present moment it is shipped.

Locking.

they said shipped 2mil but also said over 2mil sold (including digital)
