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?


actually if this game came to the west on 3ds only, it could do rather well, it gt 500k on wii and mh3u did a good combine number for wiiu/3ds version especially wen you consider its a port. This is a brand new game sort of like pokemon black2/white2 vs pokemon xy imo

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



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) 



true but we are only getting pre order numbers from COMG which favors heavily Sony! We'll see soon enough, less than a week for #s, 2 days for release!


Yeah, true numbers we will never know though, since your saying the games getting heavy digital downloads we will never know the numbers. Everytime I bring up digital numbers in the past I get instantly shot down lol



Depends on whether- I mean how soon Capcom makes a superior version of the game, and for what platforms. That said, if Monster Hunter 4 remains a 3DS exclusive for at least a year, with no announcements of any other platform release, I can't realistically imagine it selling less than 3 million within the year. And if the 3DS lasts for another 5 years, and 400,000 copies are sold per year, including the inevitable budget rerelease...

It can reach 5 million. It won't look that way at first, and digital distrubution might take a few hundred thousand copy bite out of the total. But including digital copies, I can see an eventual 5 million in Japan alone. Especially since MH games don't have terrible legs even on the PSP.

I have always been rational, no matter the allegience. This is just a realistic prediction. Actually probably a bit at the high end, considering Capcom's own expectations.



well i agree with your prediction, capcom said 2.8mil in 7 months just to look good. It'll reach those sales probably before the year ends (áround 3-4months)



With digital copies, maybe. Phisical? I dont think so.
