Japanese Monster Hunter 3G shipments have topped one million units, publisher Capcom has announced.

Launched in Japan on December 10, 2011, the game helped break two 3DS sales records in its first week of availability.

It sold 471,055 copies in just two days, easily topping the weekly software sales record previously held by Mario Kart 7, and drove record weekly sales for Nintendo's portable.

The series has now sold over 20 million units since debuting in 2004.

Capcom must have realized it was selling great so they shipped more.

And...3DS beat PSV in its week launch. 208k for MH3G in its second week.

The game is selling well but it has a long way to go to top the 4.55M of Monster hunter Freedom 3 (2M opening week).
3DS definitely in a different spot than a few months ago!

It sure is turn around fast. Heavy hitters with the frequent update to the Nintendo freebies/online stuff, it is now more appealing to everyone.

Capcom undershipped and they're just starting to build the MH base on the 3DS.  It'll get there.

Very nice. hopefully we get this.

At that time PSP had a install base of 15.5 mil. It will be interesting to see if there are going to be more releases than MH4, if they will be exclusives, and how will the 3DS perform.
