The problem with MH3 was overshipping the standard edition, the CC Pro/console bundles did brisk business with regional sellouts even the 1st week. Same thing happened with MHG actually (standard overshipped, CC bundle continually sold out), they should've learned the first time around. I wonder if Koei, Konami and Namco will handle their coming bundles better?
Taiko Wii 2 and Mario & Sonic 2 were both pretty badly overshipped upfront imo. Both were slow burners originally, retail and the publishers should've planned more for that rather than upping initial shipments in the current economic climate.
No HD games in the list is a nice surprise though. The only real bomb there I can think of this year is 3DGH on PS3, which probably wasn't too anticipated anyway.
