what about monster hunter fronteir console exclusive and the other 3 exclusive titles do u think these will help over in the rising sun or be the same trend that it been having

Monster Hunter Frontier is a PC game available since 2007.

With the X360 userbase in Japan, a new Monster Hunter game on the Wii and many iterations on PSP, I really doubt that MHF will do anything to help Xbox selling more.

At best, the game can sell like 100K and give 360 a little boost...

I agree, but I would put the best case scenario higher (200k).  With the 360 release, it's now becoming the priority platform (meaning first release) for new content, which will likely bring a lot of PC fans over.  There's also 360 exclusive content planned.  Also, PCs are still pretty rare in Japan, most people play MHF in cafes or at work/school, so I can see some players wanting to invest in a 360+MHFO for at home.  For reference there's already 500k MHF players in Japan alone (Asia likely adds another 100k-ish).

Honestly, it wouldn't surprise me if MHFO beat out BB/TOV/SO4 and became 360's best selling game ever.
