★Top 3 In Sales

4.87mil⇒ Monster Hunter Freedom 3 (PSP)
4.13mil⇒ Monster Hunter Freedom Unite (PSP)
1.93mil⇒ Monster Hunter Tri (3DS)

Can It be the top selling game in the franchise? Discuss...

hell yeah. it's a brand new entry and is on a Nintendo handheld for cying out loud. not to mention the Mario/Luigi/Link stuff.

I hope so, it's releasing in the 3DS's best time, along with Pokémon, that should help boosting sales, so, it's possible, but we cannot say anything for sure.

Im gunna say no, isnt it tracking behind the psp version in the pre orders?

If it does it'll be in the top 11 games of all time in japan(pokemon xy coming out so it'll be placed at 11th unless it passes the 9th-10th spot!

honestly that dont mean crap, its behind but will sell 1mil-1.5mil FW retail alone, its going to be heavy digital sales and lets not forget its on a nintendo handheld!(legs)

Yeah but it had great legs on the psp aswell so the legs are a given. We will never really know, even the sales on the chartz are way off since it was available digital on the psp aswell, its even on sale this week for $8 nz lol ( $6.50 US) 

I think it'll definitely be up there. Not sure about highest though. Even with a western release, it might not reach the top (not sure how MH3U sold in the west, too lazy to check). That's not to say it can't do it. Depends on the legs for the game, I guess. However, that only really applies to Nintendo games on Nintendo handhelds, no?
