Watch this game sell at least another million in the West, while the media dismiss it as being a first party title >_>

I wish I was confident that MH3 will sell a million in the West, but I'm not. MH is NOT an established franchise in the West, and from what I have heard the MH series has some quirks that Japanese gamers have long got used to as part of the series but Western gamers may not accept/like, making it hard for the franchise to succeed in the West.

[added]I am talking about things that don't bother me, but seem to have alienated people in the past - specifically lack of camera lock on during fights and the loading screens between areas[/added]

It seemed JRPGs were not made for the west, until FFVII broke through, so there is just as much of a chance that could happen here, especially with commercials of people weilding their Wiimotes like swords and other weapons (sure it wouldn't work that way in the game, but that's not the point).
