This FW is only less than two other entries (from what I could find). One of them is MH4 and the other is Freedom 3... 1.6mil (excluding pure digital) is a great number, even for a MH game. Not sure what you are on about...

Not every new game in a franchise needs to become the best selling. Monster Hunter as a franchise is sustaining itself quite well...

Did you not read the other post? And that's an extremely weak defense. 

@Tbone; What can I say? You're the one who thought X/Y would hit 20 million. Nevermind, that doesn't count anymore.

And peaking does equate to going downhill. Have you never seen a mountain before?

Let me give you some hypothetical values:

6

5

9

7

6

7

8

 

Would you say the peak is the third value? Yes
Would you say that the values are trending downwards? No

The fact that an earlier installment sold the most doesn't mean the series is going downhill.

 

PS: Which other post are you talking about? The one where you say that MH4 had a "bombastic" opening? Despite the fact that its shipment numbers are over four million (as of last december) without even releasing outside of Japan? Not sure what your are trying to say
