It seems like monster hunter 4 sales will be less remembered, because it's under performing against pokemon, despite being released earlier.

lol hell no.

Pokemon is the reason people buy nintendo handhelds it is like comparing apples and oranges.

Are you surprised??? O.o

Not really, monster hunter's popularity isn't at pokemon's level.

That sounds like you were

MH4 doing well, i hoped it would do 5mil but it'll end up between 4.2mil-4.5mil lifetime!

       Not at all..  Sure, Monster Hunter sells really well and all that, but Pokemon remains the main reason  why most people  ( in Japan at least) buy Nintendo handhelds... Besides, it's not like MH4 had terrible sales or anything like that.
