   This either means that Monster Hunter is still nowhere near as popular as Final Fantasy in Japan and people do not wish to buy a home console for it, or that Nintendo didnt really bother to make many hardware bundles with it like Sony did with ACC.

   Edit: There is a bundle with the classic controller, however, so ...

The bundle only includes the Classic Control, not the console and it's sold pretty well. I'm not sure about the number but Final Fantasy, Drafon Quest and Pokemon are more popular than Monster HUnter. (Now I'm wondering why Nintendo doesn't make a MMO type version of Pokemnon for consoles)

 

Since you asked lol.

This is the data for the newest games released to date that VGChartz has data for. Looking at the top 25 all time Japan it seems like Monster Hunter is hunting it's way to the top. Taking down one game at a time.
