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?
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.
|
It's called perspective? I gave all 3 numbers because I thought that the readers of VGC would like to see the differences, and where it may point for Monster Hunter's drop. Who was arguing that MH3 wasn't going to sell 1 million? It looks like it should in two to three months.

If you used this week's Media Create and VGCarts numbers comparing to their last week's numbers, it would be called perspective. However, when you use Famitsu number to compare Media Create/VGCharts numbers, it is not perpective since there is no guarantee this week's Media Create/VGCharts numbers would be 32000 as Famitsu's.The best case scenario you describe above is misleading since you are comparing data from one source to all sources.
MH3 needs to sell more than 37303 units this week for Media Create number in order to have a drop less than 27%. Considering the difference between Media Create and Famitsu last week was 9000+, it is not impossible for MH3 to have less than 27% drop.
