Pretty big of a strecth for this debate. The conversation of downhill meaning sales have decreased over the past two entries. Because the series experienced a giant surge in popularity, what happened in 2007 is irrelevant. It'd be like arguing that dubstep is still doing well because it's doing better than it did in 2007 (i.e. before it's surge in popularity a few years ago).

Suppose you're a nurse in the ER and a hurt kid is admitted. He has a couple of broken ribs or something, I dunno. The day he is admitted is 3G. He is significantly less healthy than he was the previous day (Portable 3rd) before the accident took place. The next day (4), he has made almost a full recovery. He's not quite fully healed yet, but he's ready to be released. You go tell his parents that his situation is worsening and his health is in decline.

You're fired.

Are we seriously comparing a game franchise to an sick child?

(note I have not stake whatsoever in the MH sales debate, as far as I'm concerned it's just a beast atm, this is just the most bizarre analogy I've ever come across)
