I hope all Nintendo fans are on the 3DS side because of Monster Hunter, if not Nintendo is not in a good position for the holidays. Hoping USA sales and an increase in Europe can save the sales of Japan for the mean time.

What do you mean? Im curious ...... (Confused >_<

people wanting to by a Wii U are buying a 3DS first, I mean Monster Hunter and Pokemon are reason to not get the Wii U yet. 

This doesn´make much sense.

What makes you think that, after the great success that was MH3 in 2011, Nintendo fans wouldn´t be buying Monster Hunter 4? Roughy 70-80 % of all MH4 copies were bought by consumers who already had a 3ds. And the system is selling way better in Japan than in other regions, so how exactely "USA and Europe sales can save the sales of Japan"? Wouldn´t it be the opposite ?

Don´t forget that Pokemon and Zelda are on the way, so expect 3ds to continue selling like crazy in Japan until holidays.

As for the WiiU, PS4 is not launching on Japan until next year, so WiiU won´t have to compete with the next generation systems yet.  Nintendo needs a more aggressive marketing campaign to make it seel better. Those bundles are sweet but a price cut, as they´re doing in the West would be necessary.
