The first version of Tri (on Wii, 2009) barely outsold the first PSP Monster Hunter in Japan (2005).  

Barely? It sold almost twice as much. 
4 Monster Hunter Tri Wii 2009 Role-Playing Nintendo 0.56 0.35 1.05 0.10 2.06
6 Monster Hunter Freedom PSP 2005 Role-Playing Capcom 0.23 0.01 1.03 0.03 1.30

Like I said, barely (~20k copies).

I missed the "in Japan" qualifier, so yes, it did barely outsell Freedom in Japan. Still, Capcom made millions off the subscriptions and still are. I also think you shouldn't ignore how well Tri did in the west: definitely a lot better than Capcom themselves anticipated.
