0% chance. It'll sell ~200k tops.

No, the reason the portable versions sell so well is the free online play.

I've got a question for anyone that's played MHP3 yet (Well, the JP version...) is it the same as the Wii version in the same respect that you can fight monsters underwater too? Since I've noticed Monster Hunter Tri has a bit more focus on the water and seas, I saw a video of two people underwater fighting a big monster, will be we able to do this on the PS3 version? Because someone told me once that the PSP version was limited in that you couldn't go underwater and had less missions etc. than the Wii version, so either way the PS3 version will be the inferior product in terms of features?

Correct, MH3 Portable is trimmed down in features, there is no underwater combat. This goes for the PS3 version as well. There are some monsters missing as well, but also some monsters added that were not in the Wii version.

The portable versions are considered "down-ports" but seeing how Monster Hunter really shines in multiplayer, the Portable versions aren't all that inferior. The PS3 version is a quick and dirty port but with the shared save file system it's a natural fit for people who play MH on PSP or people who love MH and only own a PS3.

If it's pay to play, then no chance

If not, I'm not sure

Am I the only one who thinks this question is delusional? All of one game has ever topped 1m in Japan on the PS3 and people expect a port to do that well? Really? I don't believe the PS3 can handle games that actually sell a decent amount. I mean, even the mighty Final Fantasy - the franchise which topped 1m for the PS3 - had pretty messed up numbers for its franchise on the console.

If MH3 game had sold under 500k on Wii, then it'd be possible, even likely, but I don't think there's any hope whatsoever of MHP3 pulling this off.

'Course, MH has been defying expectations so I suppose this is possible...
