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.

And you're comparing Dragon Quest to Monster Hunter? I am laughing. Part of the reason Dragon Quest has done so well on the DS is because the DS holds a large audience and a large share of demographics that other consoles have held. It's userbase pulls millions of people from the SNES, Gameboy, PS2, and other popular consoles. The Wii has a userbase in Japan that is more than 4 million less than the PSP.
We could argue all day about this, but if you're sticking with the ridiculous expecations I've seen you post, no debate is needed.

3 million sales of MHF2G are nothing to laugh about; anyways, I think you're right : it's pointless to continue with this, I guess only time will tell who's right.
