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.
|
Unfortunately, I did not see any charts available from VGC nor MC for this week. I was only using what's available. I guess we'll have to wait for more authoritative data than Famitsu estimates, which is why I wasn't wanting to use them for a direct comparason - since both last week's and this week's numbers are estimates vs. MC and VGC actuals.

mrstickball stop trying to protect your first post, you know it's wrong. You can never use famitsu number week after week against MC or vgchartz, they have been on a completely different track since the sales started. Best case scenario is not 27% at all, in fact famitsu number have no influence on MC number at all.
First you say it's a 33% drop and it's bad, and now you're saying that it is good and we have to wait before calling it legs. Again stop flip flopping, nobody here said that it means it's gonna keep selling to 2 million copies. You seemed to be offended by someone saying it is "holding up nicely." Between this week and last week it is for sure. If you're gonna read so far into someone post that you assume he's talking about first week to second week as well then i really question your motives here.
