Not so big shock for me.
But Monster hunter outsells Pokemon!!
Thats HUGE!

And Final Fantasy Dissidia already at 16 after 1 week.

 

 Keep in mind that Pokemon Platinum has been out for 15 weeks, while Monster Hunter has been out for 39 weeks.

Lifetime, I would expect the two to end relatively dead on even (with Pokemon perhaps a tad higher). That's pretty awesome.

 

Even better, is that this isn't because Pokemon Platinum was the worst selling 3rd wheel Pokemon. It looks like it will be the 2nd best selling, behind only Pokemon Yellow.

 

I'm really sitting here and rooting for that Monster Hunter Freedom: 2nd G will be the best selling non-Square non-Nintendo game EVER in Japan.  It just needs 200K more.

 

Big titles that Monster Hunter Freedom: 2nd G will beat:

Final Fantsy V, VI, IX, X, XII (all FFs but 7 and 8)

Dragon Quest III, IV and V(all but 6,7 and 8)

All the Gran Turismos

All the Super Smash Bros.

Super Mario Land 2, 3 and 4

All the Donkey Kong games

 

That is pretty damn huge.
