Capcom has recently revealed its annual financial results, ultimately reporting profits both in terms of net and operating incomes. It was the company's revelations on game sales that were perhaps the most interesting, with Resident Evil 6 hitting 4.9 million units but failing to hit its targets, and Dragon's Dogma being a "greater-than-expected hit" in Japan.

But what of Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate on the Wii U? With a focus on the Japanese market — as the results refer to "Monster Hunter 3 (Tri) G HD Ver." — the developer said the following, highlighting a success without giving firm figures.

Furthermore, "Monster Hunter 3 (Tri) G HD Ver.", which was our first title for the new home video console "Wii U" that was launched in December 2012, also became a smash hit. However, its package sales were generally soft.

I´m glad to see that Capcom seems to be (relatively) satisfied with the sales of MH3U, I hope we can count on more Capcom support in the future (I´m getting RE:Revelations on day one !)

Ah... so it sold well digitally. Interesting, as people dont seem to expect that of nintendo systems.

Good news for once, being realistic is always a good sign.

um i think neogaf had an amend to the comment... probably want to check up on it.

MH 4 ? to the west?

best Avatar ever, nuff said

VGChartz's inability to track digital sales is frustrating, I'd love to know how well games like this are doing when digital copies are included. I suspect the picture is much less gloomy than packaged figures makes it appear.

Oh, and I'd buy Monster Hunter 4 on Wii U in a heartbeat. Hell, as someone who's never owned a portable and doesn't care for them, I might buy a 3DS just to play it if it doesn't get a Wii U port, I loved Tri some damn much...

I'm almost certain that "package" refers to the hardware with Monster Hunter packed in.

Dat spin! How about they actually publish those smash it sales?

Capcom's not afraid to call a bad seller a bad seller. New dmc doubled the numbers they're feeding here, and they were pretty unequivocal about saying it did poorly.

Anyways, now Wii U critics have one less argument to chuck... oh who am i kidding...
