Wow, I was quoted quite a bit.

Anyway, Monster Hunter games have appeared on other platforms (Wii and 360 both have recent releases in the franchise), but they haven't done anywhere near the success the franchise has found on the PSP. I fully believe that success will carry over to a new Sony platform.


Yea but think about this the first monster hunter on wii sold more than the first monster hunter on psp. But we could leave that to its growing popularity regardless of platform. But yea i dont expect it to sell better on the 3ds but i think a 3ds aqnd ngp version could co-exist. 

Should we compare handheld to console sales here?

MH3 on Wii did better than any MH on PS2 or on any other console (ok, it's just XB360 and we know M$ success in Japan).

It could definetely co-exist on 3DS and NGP, but i can't see any reason why MH on NGP should sell better. 3DS will be on the market for a full year until NGP is released, so i can clearly see advantages for the 3DS version cause of the bigger install base. Adding the higher price point of NGP (any doubts here?) and the  absence of 3D, i don't know. The argument that MH was released on the PSP, the predecessor of the NGP is more or less pointless imo. Look at SNES and games on successor N64 vs newby PS to get a clue what happened to successors of games on another platform.

But believing is stronger than reasoning here, since we don't know anything about MH3D or MH on NGP. IMO, Advantage for 3DS cause of the little hint we have about MH3D. can't wait for capcoms statement.
