People saying MH bombed really don't know what good numbers are. I think after nine days of sales, it is clear that MH3 will pass a million in Japan. Now if you go checking which games sold a million or more in Japan, you will see that this is quite an achievement, especially for a third party game on a Nintendo console.

Much more interesting would be to see the hardware numbers for this week. Aren't they out yet?

Actually with this weeks numbers it looks like it will not reach 1 million......

 

I expect 80k more next week and then the game will be sitting at 800k and will probably fall short of 1 millions..

Please stop. Your negativity is blinding you. The game has already sold over 700k units and the bundle that the people are looking for is sold out. Once a restock happens the game will reach a million or more in Japan. That is a given.

 

Third parties games that are that frontloaded usually do 75-80% of their sales in the first two weeks, if you dont believe me go look at historical data for Japan...

So yes, there is a real question on wether the game will reach 1 million or not...

We already know for sure it will most likely miss Capcom expectations, ( with first shipment not sold yet and some retailers already discounting, do not expect huge additional shipments and for those retailers that reorder Capcom will most likely have to drop their price...).
