It was only less than the portable versions because portable games in Japan are selling 5x than console games (or any system, including Wii). A Million seller in Japan on Wii is still amazing. Hopefully when it comes out here, it'll be advertised so it'll actually do good here as well.

It's actually almost matched with MHP1 (1.1m), and that's counting the original (650k), BEST (300k) and BEST reprint (150k) releases together.   MH3 hasn't even had a budget rerelease yet, when it does it may even match MHP2's 1.7m.   That'd put it about in line with the MH2/MHP ratio from 2005.


Hmm, I wonder whne they'll release a best version. Could a best version push it to 1.4m+?

I'm not sure if they'll do a "Best Price" release or just skip ahead to MH3G.  I personally think they should do a BP release alongside the western launch in April (adding in all the new content and maybe even dropping subscription fees), then do MH3G in the fall/winter.  If they did that, I think the Best version alone could manage 800-1m, bringing MH3's total to 1.8-2m Japan.
