Those are terrific sales. Arguably the 1 unquestionable smart move Iwata/his board of directors have managed to make in the last few years was securing Monster Hunter exclusivity.
I would say based on this opening 3.5 mill (first run) + an additional 500k for the best price version (4 mill total) should be possible, perhaps more.
But if this strategy is so successful, I guess my question is why doesn't Nintendo employ it more often? They should be willing to spend a few bucks if it means securing some big exclusives. The Wii U should have an equivalent franchise from a third party as MH is to the 3DS too ... if Nintendo can secure such a big deal for the 3DS, then they should work as hard to make sure the Wii U also gets something that can help it move units.
