Because it will have legs

PS4 - over 100 millions let's say 120m
Xbox One - 70m
Wii U - 25m

Vita - 15m if it will not get Final Fantasy Kingdoms Heart and Monster Hunter 20m otherwise
3DS - 80m

I'm sorry but seriously spurge? You clearly don't read what others have said. Mario games do not do well on comg, they usually have good FWs. This is outpacing 3DWorld and has not one but 2 hardware bundles. It also has multiple SKUs so those points aren't the entire picture either.

For your information, they have (at least) one more store out of Niigata Prefecture. In Kaga City, Ishikawa Prefecture. I posted photos from there.

Interesting, wider net is always better. Too bad I could not find your pictures, I appreciate the field-work. I think it is important to know how many stores they have which you can essentially call just sample size. Let's say COMG!-chain opens 4 new stores, it will screw up point/sales ratios right away. Same thing if they close stores.

I cannot imagine toilet-free life.

Kebabs have a unique attribute compared to other consumables. To unlock this effect you need to wolf down a big ass kebab really fast, like under 10 minutes or so and wait for the effect to kick in. If done correctly your movements should feel unbelievably heavy to the point where you literally cannot move at all.

One look at Amazon Japan would tell you that they are in fact interested in Mario Maker.

It's impossible to match MHP3 pre-orders in COMG, 3DS games don't have the PSP ratio. And I also think that it will be very difficult to match MH4.

But I'm pretty sure that MHX can sell better than MH4G (ultimate), released last year. Capcom is expecting 2.5 million LTD.

Didn't MH4G underperformed? How much were Capcom expecting for that one?

They were expecting 3.9 million shipped (Japan+West) by the end of March 2015, but they shipped 3.4 million. Still, they reached that target in June 2015, a little later that expected. I think they were expecting a better performance in Japan, but it happened in the west instead. Currently the game is at 3.9 million as they were expecting.

Series has gained some good ground in the US now that they're actually releasing more of the series. Helps that MH4 skipped the West, so Japan didn't quite have as much incenvtive to jump on the extra content edition.
