I don't think it will because of X/Y. Did MHP3 had any competition at the time of release?



Pokemon BW released 3 months before so no. X/Y might help 3ds software sales... Maybe....

Looks like you are going to lose your bet. ^^

Even with DD sales I think MHP3rd is still ahead with a big margin.

Really O.o My bet isn't MH4 to outsell MHP3 lifetime,  this thread is for comparison only! My bet is i win if MH4 sells over 3.6mil lifetime with 007 which means it needs 800k more! 

 

I got this

Well apparantly MH4 is pretty much 100% sold out. So the numbers are reliant on shipped figures. Can't hardly beat MHP3 if the game don't ship enough to beat it.

I dont entirely buy the sold out thing, not for this game and not for pretty much most other games either.
My local stores all have copies in stock, Bic, Ito Yokado, Aeon, even the family owned video game store in Yamato does.

Not heaps of copies mind, but still available if you want to buy them.

Additionally the MH4 3DSLL bundles are in stock in all of these stores (except the small family owned store) too.

Excuses? I put statements cuz its true, you have people that think MHP3 is killing MH4 in sales but fail to realize  its a holiday sale. This is why i put the first 20 weeks for a fair comparison. Im confident alright, I just dont want to hear trolls coming in (which have in other threads with its performance against MHP3) and not knowing all the facts. MH4 is doing extremey well.

Like How Pokemon XY First 10 weeks of sales in US/Europe wont be fair against the first 10 weeks of previous releases due to XY coming in oct wen the latter came out in Mar or Apr! Just facts no excuses

Wonder how much the digital sales are.

but they counter each other, as someone else has already stated, the launch time isnt a benefit towards MHP3 like you word it, because it had its holiday period sales in the early days, where as MH4 has its pre-holiday explosion then as things are gradually trailing off gets a boost from holiday sales again, essentially its launch timing is a benefit towards MH4 over MHP3.
