from IGN:

"MH3 sold 520,000 units in its first week, becoming the only third party Wii game to top the half million mark in first week sales in Japan. It's also the third fastest selling Wii game to date in Japan, behind only Smash Bros. Brawl and Mario Kart Wii.

But there's somewhat of a dark side to the story here. You might recall an announcement from Capcom last week about a million in shipments for MH3. Media Create reports today that the game managed to sell just 54.36% of its stock. The Classic Controller Pro and black Wii bundles performed well, selling, respectively, 70% and upwards of 80% of their stock. But the standalone version of the game didn't even reach the 40% mark in sell-through."

This was just posted a few days back. As you can see the press always talks about the Wii negatively.
