Only DK Returns can save the Wii now (or maybe top secret Wii Vitality Sensor game).



Above: still the best game of the year.

They have a limit for special bundles per-year on consoles.

I now it's an oold and tired issue, but I have to wonder how Capcom feels about ditching ps3 for Monster Hunter 3, especially now after these sales.  And I've always wondered how they could've handled ps3>psp integration with MHP3.


Personally I think Capcom made a big mistake there.  But then, will I actually admire how they've tried to find a footing on all devices and markets and make better headway in West, I think they've made more than one eyebrow raising platform choice this gen.

MH on PSP linked to MH on PS3 with some cool mechanics would be gold dust IMHO - so obvious someone in Capcom's strategy team needs to be forced to take part in one of Japan's tough physical game shows as punishment.


One of the points of putting MH3 on the Wii was for the West. Nintendo marketed the game in the West and it sold well and is still selling. It's the most popular MH game in the West so far. In Japan, I doubt it would've sold that much more on the PS3. Remember the came game before the Slim was even out which helped PS3 sales. The game sold great, and even Capcom thinks so looking at comments from their financial reports. Capcom's decision wasn't a mistake at all.

Besides, MH3 is a good exclusive game. SB3's PS3 version is superior to the Wii one.

 

Not according to VGC, where the last PSP itteration ( Unite) is ahead of MHTri, and even Capcom stated that Tri had a slow start... every MH game had a slow start in the West, and its still not clear if Tri will pass the million mark...

 

On the other hand a PS3 version could have done FFXIII numbers in Japan alone if it managed to get some legs, and maybe even more the Tri did in the West, seeing how similary difficult games like Demons Soul managed to pull off impressive numbers... it was a failure from Capcoms part to ditch a PS platform in favor of a Nintendo one, when it comes to a main MH entry. At least the PSP version will rape the Wii version when its launched

 

 

OT: JP was waaaaay of this week, and I was shocked when I saw PD2s numbers... now they finally make sense Pretty strong week in Japan BTW


Wow, this post souinds incredibly fanboyish. First of all, Unite has been out much longer than Tri so what's your point? Tri is going to pass it easily. Second, why would MH3 on PS3 even have a chance at 1.85 mil when the game would've come before the Slim and MH isn't as popular on consoles? Sounds like a lot of wishful thinking.

lol why so serious?

According to Capcom, they shipped 400k of MHFU to the west it's first quarter and 690k of MH3 it's first quarter.  Their first NPDs, MHFU sold 60k and MH3 sold 120k.  Capcom expected 900k out of MHFU in the west btw, though we never got a solid figure for they expected out of MH3.  And actually, according to Capcom, they've only shipped 550k copies of MHFU to the west as of last March (200k NA, 250k EU)... looks like it's pretty hugely overtracked on VGC.

Tri wouldn't have done any better on PS3 honestly, in Japan or the west.  Demon's Souls is an anomaly, and benefitted hugely from it's release timing, there's basically nothing else like it that's sold as well on PS3 since.  Lost Planet 2 likely paints a better picture of what MH3 could've expected had it been a HD game in the west... plus it wouldn't have gotten all that Nintendo funded advertising.
