I have high hopes for Monster Hunter Tri but 600k for just one week in the West is a lot for this type of game, particularly on the Wii. I am thinking more like 300k, with most of its sales coming from the US.
However, I will say that the game will do better than a lot of people think. I think MH is a franchise that is ripe for taking off somewhat in the West, though it'll be more of a prolonged take off as word of mouth spreads. It is receiving a heavy advertising push as well. I do stand by my prediction of 1 million in the West (US+Europe+Australia) when it's all said and done, giving the game a grand total of a respectable 2+ million sales worldwide. Not quite confident enough to take on your bet though, because with the Wii you never know :P
