MH4 should be on Ps3 with online
Its really a game that could make online major on consoles.

PS3 doesn't have enough userbase to make anything truly major, it's lacking the massmarket pull DS, Wii or even PSP have/had. Go from MH3G on Wii/3DS to full blown MH4 on 3DS.
PS3 should get a Frontier port to test the waters...

If they made a MH on the Wii then I'm sure they can make a MH for PS3. And it would surely have better sales.
Other than that, I want DQXI in HD, not in 3D.
|
And I'm sure FFXIII would've surely had better sales on Wii... because Wii has the massmarket. Wii can actually take game sales past 2 million...

I agree... Monster hunter tri did great in japan, is obvious that there is a lot a space for big games for the wii... I know there are a lot of good games in japan for the wii (and wordwide) but most of them came from small publishers, and there titles were almost unknown for most people... And the results were as expected, people are most likely just buying nintendo games, there are a few exceptions thought, but thats not enough to keep people buying games all year around...

Eh, great is a bit of a stretch I'd say, and it isn't really good evidence for FF XIII doing over 2 million on the Wii. MHP2G outsold every single Final Fantasy game in Japan, and the Wii version did 4 times less than that release. Obviously Monster Hunter is more popular on portables, but it doesn't really make sense to directly compare it to the PS2 releases considering the series had been on a meteoric rise prior to Tri.

The full priced MHP2G only did 2.5m, it's done about another 1.5m with the budget reprint. MH3 did about 1m it's first release, which is decent step up from MH2 on PS2 (600k original, 100k budget). MHG on Wii sold almost identically to MHG PS2 too (about 250k), which is impressive considering it came out years later with no extra content, and was only playable with the CC.
And @ everyone listing games like Graces or Basara, I said mainstream. Those games are niche compared to Wii's big million sellers (Super Mario, Mario Kart, Wii Sports, Wii Fit, Smash, MoHun, Animal Crossing, etc), they're hardly comparable. Wii can take bigger games to higher sales than PS3 precisely because it has the mainstream audience.... lacking the mainstream was why FFXIII disappointed sales wise, it's a mainstream franchise that released on a niche console for the first time and came up short. It'd be like if FFIV-VI had been PC Engine games, or FFVII-IX had been on Saturn, or FFX-XII on GameCube.
