So maybe it'll make more than Gran Turismo 5 the first week, but less than Call of Duty.

Capcom Co., Ltd. (Capcom) is pleased to announce that "Monster Hunter Freedom 3" for the PlayStation®Portable (PSP®) has shipped two million units in Japan.

The Monster Hunter series are hunting action games that allow players to hunt huge monsters in lush, natural environments. This series' unique ad-hoc co-operative play system allows friends to team up and hunt these huge monsters together, fostering new kinds of communication between players. The "Monster Hunter craze" has been a significant social phenomenon, and has steadily built a fan base since the first title was released in 2004, leading to an astounding 15 million units sold.

Hmmm, so it won't beat Pokemon B&W's record.

I really don't get why capcom is undershipping this game.  At least it was more than azalyn was predicting.

From the title of the thread I thought they had announced a 3DS version. XP

That way to low shipping numbers. The preorder numbers where  over 5000p.Why are Capcom so dumb?

i think capcom has don't exept that succes .the previous game has been sold 800k first week  and monster hunter 3rd portabe has 1.71 million preorder enyone has exept that number when the game has been annonced

Capcom afraid of spending again... milking street fighter with different versions, dlc characters, now under shipping MH? Is Capcom poor or are they too pessimistic?

Did people claim this would take Pokemon B&W's crown?

if any game had a shot this would be it. If capcom actually shipped more they would have more sales, there were many reports of sold outs by 7am on the release date.
