Honestly RPG, I think it would be wise to sell how MH3 sales hold up before predicting FFXIII well sell more units. The FF franchise is very front loaded in Japan. I have no doubt that it will have higher first week sales numbers but MH titles tend to have legs.

Yeah...........no.

FFXIII will 1 million first week with ease and AGAIN MH3 is not a PSP game therefore will not have close to the legs of the PSP versions. I'm shocked people even consider MH3 selling anywhere close to FFXIII. Ah well as always when the numbers release I am correct and it will not be any different this time.

Also yeah I like the portable MH games. Clap fucking clap for all of those whom figured that out, I shall buy you all a cookie one day!

See the line I bolded in my original post. As I said, I have no doubt that FFXIII will have a higher fist week sales numbers because the series is very front loaded in Japan. However, until we see the legs of MH3, saying FFXIII will out sell is foolhardy. MH3 may be front loaded on Wii or it may sell more like the PSP versions. We don't know yet. I'm taking a wait and see approach.

This isn't a worldwide sales discussion comparing how FFXIII and MH3. This is about how the two titles will sell in Japan. Given the different sales patterns of each franchises, A wait and see approach is warranted.
