Well these were my predictions I posted in a different thread.

September- 90k
October-140k 
November-210k 
December-300k
Total: 740k (6x improvement over last Q4)

Just to put that into perspective, at the same period in their lives each of these consoles sold:

wii: 800k
PSP:1.6m
DS: 2.3m 
3DS: 2.5m

In context my predicted sales are good for a successful platform (only 60k difference from the wii in the same period), but far from its potental as a handheld in Japan.

Those sales are higher than what I would expect. September shouldn't have a 50% boost, because it has nothing for that month. October is debatable and November and December, can be probable, the latter less so. 

You're right about september, it should probably be closer to 65k, Tokyo Game show might hold a surprise or 2.

If somebody wants MH4 they just need to buy a 3DS to play that game. I think Sony fanboys in the whole gaming community are just pathetic brats that can't take no for an answer. It's quite sad really. I for one accept that certain games won't be coming to Nintendo and Microsoft consoles ie Dragon's Crown, Little King Story 2, etc. I still think they would do well on the 3DS, Wii U and X360 but in the end if I wanted to play them bad enough I know I have to fork over cash and buy the system they are on.

It also pretty much confirms Monster Hunter 5 for the Vita though.


...ehhh no, not at all ! unless you are joking


Of course he doesnt, but he is hinting at it. They cant exactly improve the series much more on the 3DS after 4. They will need better hardware.

He further states that the company’s goal is to reach a total of 2.8 million units sold after seven months of Monster Hunter 4’s release. On the 3DS, this shouldn’t prove to be much of a problem, as Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate alone has sold over 2 million copies on the platform, despite being the third version of Monster Hunter 3, handsomely beating Capcom’s original forecast for the game.


This surprises me....the goal is to sell -only- 2.8 million after seven months?

By comparison:

Monster Hunter Freedom 3 sold 2 million copies in it's first week (Japan only).
The game sold 3 million copies in it's third week!
At launch PSP's user base was 16 million.

When MH4 launches 3ds' userbase in Japan will have reached 13 million...
I say this game will sell 2.8 million copies in it's first month - or am I overestimating the sales potential of MH4?

I can't see why Capcom doesn't expect so sell really big numbers...will they undership the game?

What do you guys think?



Think for yourself, question authority

I guess Nintendo and Capcom are buddy buddies right now, eh? Iwata appeared in a MH4 event in Japan and teased a collaboration between Nintendo and Capcom and that we should expect news prior September 14th. Wait... Bayonetta 2 was revealed on September 13th last year, oh shit.
