I don't know if you remember well, but the first shipment, before the launch was 1 million of units. Two weeks past launch and the game still hasn't sold it yet. For a game of the caliber of MH3 (that carried the hope of expand the hardcore audience of the Wii), it's a bomb.
Just hopes that it goes better in the Overseas.
BTW, what was the Capcom expectations? |
This is funny. Monster Hunter 3 is on track to outsell all other third party home console games in Japan this generation in three weeks on the market. Not only this, but there is reason to believe that the bundles are being sold out and THAT is why sales are so low and will be low until the next shipment. This is Japan buddy, to reach a million is an amazing feat, and it will most likely hit that mark. Also don't expect anything close to this level or better in the West. So NO the game didn't get anywhere close to bombing.
Edit: Actually it just passed Metal Gear Solid 4 as the best selling third party game on home consoles in Japan.

Different games have different expectations. MH3 was hyped, and have really great production values. It had 3 types of bundles, and a standalone version. If the costumers cannot find the bundle one, they don't care to pay a bit more to get it soon (we are talking about people that would have bought a new console only for the game, the same ones that buy new games only for a 30 minutes demo). And now there are big chains dropping 60% of the price (10 days after launch) since the game is not selling by any means (comparing to their, Capcom and stores expectations).
As I said before, it is a bomb. FOR A MH GAME.

So because it didn't meet YOUR expectations it bombed? LOL That is how we determine "bombs" now. Anyway it is the best selling console Monster Hunter, and it's a failure for the series?
|
Are you reading what I've being posting, or just trying to being an a*s because I don't agree with you?

How about you clarify your stance. First you say that it is a bomb because it doesn't sell it's shipment. Then you say it is a bomb for a totally different reason, that it didn't sell as well as other monster hunters(which isn't true btw. It didn't sell as much as the PSP versions. It did sell more than the PS2 versions though, which is also the versions better to compare it with.) As far as I see it, you are one of the few people who thought this game was going to sell anywhere near the psp versions, and that is why you go over the top and say it bombed. So which is it?
Imo a game isn't a bomb unless the sales do a few things. Either the developer loses money or doesn't make too much(which definately doesn't seem like the case here), or the developer themselves are unhappy with the sales. Capcom just sold a million copies of monster hunter 3, I'm sure they are happy, because it is almost certain they already made a good profit. So it seems to be you are in a very small group who is unhappy with your the sales. I challenged your opinion, which is what people do on internet forums. So please go ahead any explain how I'm being an a*s because I analyzed your posts with the best of my reading comprehension. Maybe I should put that in question because there is obviously something I'm missing.
