MH3G was an improvement and addition on MH3 (Tri) from Wii, which also did fairly poorly in Japan. It added new enemies and zones, and re-added the weapons that were removed and some people were very angry about (gunlance, dual sword, bow).
I'm not screaming imminent doom for the Monster Hunter series, but the reaction to MH4 info in Japan has been fairly mediocre, with criticism for downgrading graphics from the PSP games, a strange focus on customizing otomo, and addition of new "shonen manga" weapons (bug staff and transforming "chargeaxe"-shield-sword-hammer thing). The chargeaxe in particular is looking to make several weapon types obsolete as an all-in-one.
