| Mnementh said: Wow, you all really lowballing the expectations. 2.5M-3M are expected for a home console release. The Wii-game made more than 2M and this game is on multiple platforms. Multipat doesn't add much, but it adds something. Expecting the game to transfer the japanese base would lead to the expectation of >4M. If we also assume it grows in the west and/or finds new gamers because of updated graphics this would lead to expectations of at least 5M. You all stayed way below that mark. Wanna explain? |
The bolded is where you are going wrong. You even said yourself, the Wii game sold slightly more than 2 million, and that was the best selling console Monster Hunter -- on the Wii -- a console which sold 12.75 million in Japan.
