So you missed the part that I talked about the Capcom's expectations of 2 mil MH3 sold in the fiscal year, right?

I don't see how that qualifies it as a bomb. Publishers "expectations" are more in line with predictions , not hopes. Even if they did predict 2 million by the defintion I consider a bomb(since I'm the only person in this thread who defined it I will go by that) that isn't valid. They could be happy with a million, even if it isn't their initial prediction. Also please link me to where they said that. I would love to know when they made this prediction, and whether they meant shipped or sold.(Publishers care much more about shipped because to them that IS sold.)

 

I thought you have seen my previous posts in this topic before to criticize me... Well, I was wrong. Search and you will find the link.

Found the link, and as expected it was shipped. Their prediction still seems off. I expect around 1.1-1.3 million Japanese sales LTD. The shipment will probably be around 1.4 - 1.6m, also LTD. So yes there prediction is still way off, but there are many predictions by publishers that end up being far from what happens. Also it was the word "bomb" that really got me carried away. It may be lower than expected, but definately not a bomb. To be honest, far from it. Any game that makes a considerable profit, and this is definately one of them, doesn't bomb. Especially a game like this that doesn't only make a considerable profit, but continues to make one (Online Subscription).

I wasn't really trying to criticize you, but more so argue against your opinion. Sometimes I get carried away. Sorry if I felt hostile.
