Of course is performing well... just the same old people, claiming the same old thing "Wii bad"

Going by their logic I just realized MGS4 was DA MEGA BOMB!!! in Japan. Who would've thought


PS3 harware base when MGS4 launched: 2.2milj.

Wii hardware base when Monster Hunter tri launched: 8.3milj.

Best selling MGS game in japan (MGS2): 870k

Best selling Monster Hunter game in Japan: 3.35milj.

Maybe that should tell you something...and I don't say that MH3 bombed but it hasn't sell as well as expected.

Oh, so we go by hardware base? Damn, i always thought God of War 1 & 2 sold well, but they freaking BOMBED hard too i guess.

 

I mean, you are also comparing portable with home consoles, so .... that should really tell YOU something x)

But when MGS4 sells only 200k less than MGS3 did with huge PS2 hardware base you can't even joke that it was a bomb. And why not compare home consoles to handhelds when we are comparing game sales? So we can't compare DQIX sales to DQVIII sales because latest one was handheld game?

 

So what do we have here?

Monster Hunter = .28M

Monster Hunter G = .23M

Monster Hunter 2 = .63M

 

All of them in the ps2, with HUGE ps2 hardware base.

 

And now, MH-Tri = +.70M in just 9 days, on the wii, with [less] half the install base of the ps2. Now, you can agree is selling well, right?... i mean, if you are happy with MGS4 selling 200K less than MGS3 b/c of the huge install base of the ps2, then you should be more than happy with MH-Tri

Thanks for making my life simplier man =)

You're welcome! Those Monster Hunter games were released before PSP literations made series so huge in Japan(MHG is cheap port). In MGS case, the original MGS already made series popular in Japan. And I haven't said that MH3 bombed. It just hasn't sold as much as majority people here predicted. Mostly I just got caught with your MGS4 comparison.
