Woopah, Nintendo have reported the above games to be supply constrained. ebay prices for Wii Fit plus are also higher than retail prices again.

I think he's underestimating the relevance of Red Steel 2 and Monster Hunter Tri, but that's fine, I can see why someone like Pachter could get blindsided by them.

really? you really think monster hunter tri and red steel 2 can push hardware like god of war 3, GT5 and MOVE can?

I'll give you GOW3, but when exactly will GT5 and Move come out? Say again? So until May, all Sony has is GOW3. Drop off the Rage of the Galdiator argument, but MH3 IS a system seller.

In Japan.

People said the same thing about Final Fantasy and Pokemon once upon a time.  I wouldn't underestimate MH3, if anyone can make it a success, it's Nintendo.  Look at what they've done for Layton.

Final Fantasy and Pokemon have always been pretty big in US.

I played MH on PS2 and loved it, but no one really played it.  MH is also an acquired taste gameplay style and it won't satisfy everyone, it's also hardcore.  At least the PS2 version was, I can't say much for MH3.  

I might get MH3, but only after how I see the online from Wii will be and only if I have friends to play it with :P.  Trust me, MH isn't a game you play by yourself, well you can, but it's not exactly easy.
