Monster Hunter IS better suited for the Wii market. By the same assessment, games like NMH are better suited for the PS3 and Xbox 360, without even lumping both platforms together and claiming it sold over 2X as much for a 2+ year old game. Isn't this what most people have been saying here? At least those who aren't trying to shift the argument to claim that a couple of ports cost more than the original game, making the original a better commercial success, making it better suited for the Wii platform? |
And games like Monster Hunter? High budget, big brand, brutally difficult, densely complex, definitively hardcore, co-op based online games? Those are inherently better suited to the Wii market? Really?
As to the rest, I doubt anyone's seriously implying the original was a better commercial success due to Japanese sales. All I've really seen in here is people with any grasp of reason pointing out that Japanese sales for all versions are pretty pitiful, and alone likely aren't enough to make a return. I'd say that's a pretty safe guess, despite Grasshopper's notoriously low budgeting or feelplus's sloppily rushed up-ports, whichever ended up being slightly less.
