Capcom’s Executive Corporate Officer and Director Katsuhiko Ichii is very confident in the fourth numbered chapter of the Monster Hunter series, to be released in Japan exclusively for the 3DS on September the 14th, as he explained as part of an interview on Famitsu.com.

"""About the quality of the game, we think we can offer the best. I hope we’ll achieve unprecedented, record breaking sales."""

Preorders definitely seemed encouraging on Amazon Japan, where the available copies actually sold out. For that reason Ichii-san’s statement may not be just hope, especially considering how popular the franchise is in Japan. It’ll definitely be interesting to see how the battle between Monster Hunter 4 on the 3DS and God Eater 2 on the PS Vita and PSP will end between the end of the summer and this fall.

It will sell, I know that. Maybe if it was released for the Vita, PS3, PS4, and Wii U as well, it could sell even more.

i like to see the guy who voted no more than 3mil post and explain why

I smell resident evil 6...

And some ppl, meself inclued, know capcom gonna release again this game after XXXXXX version... so why buy first one...

Dear Lord... I hope not. haha

It smells bad...

Breath of Fire 6 is a browser game.

Shut up Capcom

You seriously never know with Capcom.

I honestly believe it'll do it. Look at how well the portable entries sold on PSP. Now consider that this will be the first main MH game to launch exclusively on a handheld, and one that's destroying the PSP for this point in its life. Seems perfectly attainable to me, as long as the game is good.
