Will MHP3 HD remake for PS3 outsell MH3 for Wii (in Japan)?

Am I the only one who thinks this question is delusional? All of one game has ever topped 1m in Japan on the PS3 and people expect a port to do that well? Really? I don't believe the PS3 can handle games that actually sell a decent amount. I mean, even the mighty Final Fantasy - the franchise which topped 1m for the PS3 - had pretty messed up numbers for its franchise on the console.

If MH3 game had sold under 500k on Wii, then it'd be possible, even likely, but I don't think there's any hope whatsoever of MHP3 pulling this off.

'Course, MH has been defying expectations so I suppose this is possible...

Monster Hunter is a bigger franchise than FF in Japan and there has never been a MH game on the PS3 before. 

Is it? I mean, sure, it is, but you can say the same about Pokemon. Does that mean that Pikachu's Pokepark's gonna top 2m on any console? I doubt it. MH has shown a pretty clear trend in terms of doing significantly worse on home consoles than portables and the PS3 has shown a pretty clear trend of having no huge. These trends can be defied, of course, but there's no real reason to believe that they will be.
