MH3

Is a mainstream franchise =/= hardcore


I'd argue that it is hardly mainstream on home consoles.  Portables?  Sure.  Home Consoles?  No

Just look at the sales of the first 2 which were on the PS2 (the highest selling home console system ever).  They couldn't even manage 1 million in sales combined.  Now look at MH3 on the Wii.  It has now passed 2 million sales.  So it has sold 1 million+ more (on the Wii which has far less system's sold) than the first two games combined.

The PS2 MHs had NO kind of advertisment whatsoever and they were basically steatlth released, at least in the US
