The first two times it was released nobody had heard of it.

The last 3 times it was released it was on an unpopular handheld that most people don't own.

Would people who never owned or liked handhelds or played pokemon be pumped if it came to a home console?  Most definitly.

 

 

You keep on acting as though nobody owns a PSP. As far as I've heard, the PSP was JUST recently passed by the Wii. So please stop acting as though the PSP doesn't sell. 

OT: The game probably won't sell as much as the PSP version will sell in Japan. The only other system that would outsell the PSP game would be if they made a DS version of the game.

 

World Wide.  Including Japan where the PSP gets all the love...

Also... PSP owners don't really buy games as much as home console users.

Furthermore the Wii's base is greatly expanding...

Most of the people on this site don't have a PSP.  Hence yeah... people getting excited about it.

Heck look at my example.  Pokemon from DS to Wii.

Many many more people have DS yet TONS of people who haven't played Pokemon would be pumped.

Why?  Because it's on a system they own.

I wasn't saying the Wii userbase isn't expanding. I'm saying that just because Monster Hunter is a popular game on the PSP, doesn't mean it's going to be a popular game on the Wii. It very well could sell great, especially considering piracy being an issue for the PSP but I simply just don't see Monster Hunter Wii being nearly as great of a seller as Monster Hunter for the PSP. Especially considering that the rest of the world, besides Japan (where the PSP still has 4 million more owners than the Wii), seems to not really care about the Monster Hunter series. X_x You can say that it's because the rest of the world doesn't own PSP's as much as you'd like, I'm simply saying that I don't see it being the amazing seller that some think it will be.

Also, I'm bringing this from several arguments that I have been on the receiving end of. Internet hype, especially in forums, does not necessarily mean the game will be popular.

Did I say it was going to sell well?  I actually expect it to "bomb" in the west.

DJmesiter asked why people on this board cared...

I gave him the reason why.

PSP is unpopular, and a lot of people here don't have PSPs.

Djmeister is just a little bitter that a lot of people are suddenly interested in a game series he loves that isn't popular in the west just because it's on the Wii... a system he doesn't particularly care for.

Vs say when its on Sony systems... because he foolishly lets brand identity effect his enjoyment of games.
