i love how u twist it "best selling monster hunter games on a console" yea... monster hunter wasnt big be4 it went onto the psp. the 2nd g version has done 3.5 mil in japan, a drop down to 1 mil is still terrible no matter how u slice it

Hilarious. A drop from 3.5 mil to 1 mil on the PSP would be terrible. On consoles where MH has never been as popular 1 mil is great. Hell for any title in Japan this gen 1 mil is great. Also you're forgetting that this game is pay to play and there's already a ton of people playing. Considering Capcom already said the game sold great, you're wrong, period.

You're right. It may not have sold nearly as well on PS3, and then again, even if it would have, the development costs would've been so high they'd need to sell a LOT more to make a profit. MH3 has, arguably, the best graphics on Wii. A PS3 equivalent of that would've been disproportionately expensive, and on top of that, it probably wouldn't even be out yet.
