I'm not sure how a drop of 33% is 'holding up nicely'? It's had pretty notable drops since it came out, and is still a minimum of 2 weeks away from hitting 900k, and may take 2 months to hit a million, if it does at all.

Otherwise, Tomadachi and DQIX did fantastic, again. Square made the best decision by going to the DS for DQIX - probably should scrap X on the Wii and head over to the DS with that one too. Soul Calibur bombs on the PSP. Poor Namco.

It's going to overtake the X360 install base at this pace.

I didn't know this was a Xbox 360 discussion? It'd be nice if you stuck to the argument, rather than derail it, Neos.

@Soriku, who said it was 40K last week?

• Media Create: 51,101
• Famitsu: ~42,000 (not quite in yet)
• VGChartz: 45,597

Best case scenario is Famitsu, with a 27% drop. Otherwise, VGC and MC will not be so kind. Better drop than it's been, but I don't think one small drop can be considered some sort of massive trend to 'prove' that MH3 is going to obtain some sort of gaudy legs. It may, but given the past drops, which have been pretty bad, this one deserves more time to be looked at.

Why would you use other numbers than famitsu when they are famitsu numbers? And according to the famitsu numbers, it is a 27% drop, and it follows the pattern of MHF2. Everyone with half a brain knows it's going to sell at least 1 million.
