I don't get why everyone snobs the console versions of MH. MH is not popular due to the platform or being portable (sure it pushes things a little). It's like saying a full fledged Pokemon game for a Nintendo console won't sell much...

You kind of just proved your detractors right with your own post. How much have the console Pokemon games sold compared to the handheld iterations? It's a similar thing with Monster Hunter. Only 2 Wii games have outsold Monster Hunter Freedom Portable 2nd G in Japan, and I doubt Monster Hunter 3 will be one of them. It will definitely outsell the first, and has a good chance at the second, however.

You actually compare Pokemon Stadium-like Pokemon games to main series? To make my point, DQ became a huge series on the consoles, yet it had no problem flowing to the DS. When your game cater to such a "hardcore" demographic, the fans will follow no matter what. That's the logic behind my obsession with MH3 selling big time.
