Also, from this we can also deduct that Capcom originally expected 1.5m for MH3 in Japan (it only managed 1.1m by last September btw). Weird then that they've said it met expectations and even exceeded subscription expectations? :/

It probably mean that while the game didn't sell as well as they hoped the number of people ready to pay to play online were higher than they were expecting.

It's hasn't been a good years for Capcom what with the massive flop of Bionic Commando and to a lesser extent Spyborg, lower than expected sale for Resident Evil 5 and MH3.

Yeah, and after it seemed like they could do no wrong before (Dead Rising, Lost Planet, DMC4, RE4 Wii, REUC, etc)... I also suspect DarkSide Chronicles won't be hitting the 800k they expected originally.  Lightgun shooters are like poison in today's Wii market.
