I said in the last MC thread I expect Soul Sacrifice to be the best launch title for Vita in Japan... so over 150k.

It is a hunter game.

Lord of Apocalpyse and Ragnarok Odyssey are two hunting games that barely opened to 30k in Japan.  Being in that genre doesn't necessarily make it an automatic success.

However, with how much Sony have been advertising the game, I wouldn't be surprised if it did do well for that reason COMBINED with the fact that it's in the hunting genre.

But Soul Sacrifice is not a hunting game.

Yes it is O.o

They even advertised it on TV as such. "Let's hunt with magic" and "Calling all hunting gamers" were their two catch slogans.

It's instance mission based and zones/monsters have set loot drops, which can be crafted and upgraded for new spells (there's over 300 according to Famitsu).

The only thing missing is a lobby area where you can sit around as your character and chat between missions with other players, since it's all based out of the grimoire.

This is just a marketing technique ,what is the big similaries between Monster Hunter  and Soul Sacrifice.

If Soul Sacrifice is a hunting game i can say god of war is a hunting game Kratos hunt grecs gods.
