*waka waka waka waka*



Around the Network

And in case you were wondering, this makes MH4 the best selling game of the year in Japan so far and adds about another 10% to the 3DS total sales this year in Japan. Also, with this game, the top five games of 2013 in Japan are all 3DS games, 4 of which are new.

Sales for MH4 are only somewhat lower than those of MH3P, despite the 3DS having sold less than the PSP in 2010 in Japan. If MH4 has legs similar to MH3P, it will easily surpass 4 million sales, easily becoming one of the top 20 skus of all time in Japan. If legs are only somewhat better than on the PSP, this can become the best-selling non-Nintendo game of all time in the country.

I'm hyped!

We don´t know about that, eShop only sales weren´t counted and MH4 had like one or two days less to sell

How can all those people let themselves be fooled by backstage arrangements? This is sad.

explain yourself !

I thought it was quite obvious that Nintendo and Capcom had some kind of deal over this. If so many people hadn't bought the gimped version, maybe they could have had a greater Vita version. But it looks like they don't care...

So you think the ~1.5 million people who already owned a 3DS should have boycotted this game so it could have been released on a console that they (and most other people) don't own?

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

What makes you think that those 1,5 million don't own a Vita? A large number of people within those surely have one. Besides, more than 200K people likely bought a 3DS for this game this week.
