I dunno, man. All I'm seeing is that the 2nd generation of MH games outsold the 3rd generation of MH games by a lot.

MH3 came out on Wii.  A home console where MH series has largely failed comapred to the portable series.

Then MH3G came out on 3DS when the system has less than 3 million units sold.  The game has now sold almost 2 million units.    That's one hell of a ratio and would impossible for it to sell more than the install base of the hardware itself.

Combined, MH3/G/U has sold 4.5million units.  

You also have yoru generations mixed.   Gen 2 consisted of MH2 on PS2, MH Freedom 2 on PSP and MH Freedom Unite on PSP.  Combined, they are about 5.2 million.   Gen 3 consists of MHTri on Wii, MH Portable 3rd on PSP and PS3, and MH 3 Ultimate on Wii U and 3DS.  Combined, they total about 9.1 million.

 

And for the record, Capcom lists Monster Hunter Freedom Unite at just 3.3 million, not 5.37 million.

Unite did over a million in its "The Best" release.
