I wonder how much they actually shipped if it debuted that low. Yet another case of gravely undershipped Nintendo games?

It's been happening a lot lately, even in Japan.


You know, for some reason I'm starting to believe the whole E-Shop conspiracy now....


whats the E-shop conspiracy?

Nintendo undershipping games to make people go DL it for a bigger chunk of the pie.

Fire Emblem, Luigi's Mansion, MH3U...heck they likely saw the godly profits that AC was raking in by having a 33% DL ratio.

I still doubt this but if the trend continues then yeah.


seems like it would be a stupid thing to do since it might reduce the numbers of games sold

Nintendo does not undership games as they base the demand on the orders retailers ask. Furthermore, Nintendo is one of the few gaming companies that do not offer price protection guarantee (They do not pay retailers if one of their titles underperform). As a result, retailers order few games to limit their loses; however, if the game is a success, retailers blame Nintendo for not providing them with software fast enough - it's a vicious cycle.



All of 2 copies sold!

Did not know that this was the case. Thank you for informing us.

retailers probably aren't buying enough copies from Nintendo. Conspiracy is the other way around.



Shibata (NOE) already adressed this and said that he was sorry about the shortage due to a higher than expected demand, new shipments of the Wii U version will be available next week and 3DS version the week after. He also mentioned the eShop ''Both versions of MH3U are available on nintendo eShop'' so there's that for conspiracy theorists ^^

Nintendo has never spoken badly about nobody. So, there you go for the conspiracy.



I am hoping mh to sell very well for several months... at least word of mouth from miiverse is awesome!
