Also can someone confirm my attempt to wrap my head around the vast amount of sequels is correct. The 3DS game is Monster Hunter 4, which is sequel to the Wii Monster Hunter Tri, which was sequel to the PS2 games. These traditionally sold less, with Tri being the best selling, but still less then the PSP games which...

Are part of the Monster Hunter Freedom series, which number 3 sold 4.5m in Japan.

They've been two seperate series for the most part, with Tri and Freedom 3 both in developement at the same time? Right?

So, while 3DS has MH4, the Freedom series which sells 4x as many copies in Japan, is still up in the air for platform?

Is there any major gameplay difference between the 'tri' series and 'freedom' series... or is it just that Freedom was on portables so sold better last gen. From what I can gather, Capcom will probably stick one on each console to have most bases covered... or at least make Freedom a multiplat.

Yes there are two MH series. 1+G (G is an expansion of the original) and 2, are on PS2, and Tri on the Wii; with a remake of Tri on the 3DS. MH4 has been announced for the 3DS.

MH Freedom,Freedom 2 + FU(Freedom Unite is an expansion of 2), and Portable 3rd(Japan only) are it's own series only on PSP with the exception of an HD remaster of Portable 3rd for the PS3.

MH is succesful due to Japan; PSP and Wii are the same gen, the only real explanation is that the games are more suitable to play on a portable.
