If they predict low and it sales high then it makes them look good I guess.

But they want to predict higher sales because lofty numbers appeal to stockholders, the people they really care about pleasing.

Well 2.8 million in Japan only isn't "exactly" low for a game.

That's just a little over half of what MHP3 did. 2.8 million would be pretty bad.

sooo? we cant always do wat the highest was cuz itsnot fair, MH3G on 3ds is the third highest selling MH in japan despite its 1.91mil to the top 2 sellers 4.2mil/4.8mil. Its like saying MKWii has 34mil and if MK8 does 10mil its bad, no its not, its still much higher than other MK's. Same can be said with pokemon, the very first did 32mil, every games has done 15mil-18mil after that (aside from gold/silver 22mil), but thats actually very good. 2.8mil would put mh4 in a great position but in reality its going to easily push over 3mil. In which case its successful if it at least does 3mil lifetime(obviously going to do more). :P

I'm not saying it needs to match MH3, because that isn't happening.

It needs to do a lot more than 55% of it though.
