So, 1.91M for the highest MH3 seller? That's a massive drop.


thats not a drop lol


From more than 4M to 1.91M? That's not a drop?


hell no thats not, read my post above, you need to compare it. Thats like saying LoZ OoT 3D drop cuz it has a little over 3mil when the original had over 7mil

Also install base has to be accounted for, and no matter wat Ports are usally 99% lower sales than originals! You can compare MH4 when it comes out to the others. It wont be a port and the install base will be just under PSP

 

Edit: just incase you dont look back up

 

There are things your not considering...

1. Its a port of a recent game made (also on WiiU)

2. Its the third highest MH game to sell in japan (even though the top 2 have over double sales)

3. The Install Base is a buge difference, look at the charts i made, as you can see PSP when the games came out had (8,556,895) and (15,663,814) respectively while 3DS's MH ( A PORT) had less than 3mil. 

Monster Hunter 4 will easily make the top 3 sales in japan and might have a shot to exceed pass the top 2 in sales. 

 

Here take a look at this
