Monster Hunter G is going to be coming out soon, and I can't wait to see how it sells. Will have to see how well it stacks up versus the PSP versions.

Don't you mean PS2 version?

Let's wait for Monster Hunter 3 to see how it stacks up versus the PSP games.

No. Monster Hunter Freedom is, more or less, a port of Monster Hunter G to the PSP.

So essentially, it's a valid comparison.

Sure, let's compare an old PS2 port to the massively popular PSP version. They should sell about equally, don't you think?

Nope. I think they'll somewhere in between. I would hope that MHG can at least sell 400k. 500k+ would show that its the series that is growing rather than it just being better on the PSP than on consoles.

And note, the original MHF didn't sell that much. Just over 1 million I think.

Again, let's wait for Monster Hunter 3 before making such statements. I know you want to have things decided as fast as possible, we all do, but a little patience goes a long way.

Why wouldn't MHG be a good indicator? I think MH3 would have to do much more than double that number.

Because everyone had every chance to play the game already. It isn't a new game, it's a port of an old game.

You can't port Doom 1 to the PS3 and say "hmm, it didn't sell 500k, looks like Doom doesn't have a good future on the PS3". You'll have to wait for the new Doom to arrive to be able to say something meaningful about the fanbase of Doom on the system.
