This is a console MH, and a port of the Wii game at that. Won't do much if it's real.

This.  Will be the third version of MH Tri and it's on a home console.  

The first version of Tri (on Wii, 2009) barely outsold the first PSP Monster Hunter in Japan (2005).  I can't see it being a huge seller like the handheld versions.  It'll pull some decent numbers though and give the console an early boost.

Interesting though in any case.

Barely? It sold almost twice as much. And with subscription fees at that as well. Nintendo even paid for the advertizing costs in Europe. MH Tri on Wii easily made over 6 times as much money for Capcom than Monster Hunter Freedom on PSP did.

Monster Hunter Tri on Wii was an absolute succes for Capcom.
