As were the comparisons he gave. Reasons for which games sell/don't sell typically don't matter to Lawlight, only the cold hard numbers. So that's what I gave him.


I don't understand at all why you made that comparison.  

You seem like a reasonable poster from what I've seen of you around the forums.  That post (and your justification form it) isn't reasonable at all.  The fact that you fully realise it and made it anyway... kinda takes away from the point you were trying to make.

With all due respect, Kresnik, I think it was a point well-made.


Elaborate please.

Unless your argument is that "he responded to a non-point with an equal non-point".  In which case, I definitely disagree.

So, we are basically comparing apples and oranges?

Tales of Symphonia - very late port on the PS3.

Shin Megami Tensei - well, before the Persona series made the SMT series relevant outside of Japan.

Resident Evil Revelations - Even though the PS3 version's sales was handicapped by the release of the 360 version, it's so close that, counting digital, the PS3 most likely sold more. There's a very good reason RE:R2 isn't on the 3DS.

Dragon Quest - sold better on the PS2 everywhere except Japan.

Your DQ point is irrelevant as The sales 90%+ come from Japan. Almost like MH, well intill MH4U came out in the West doing 1mil+


I don't think any mainline MH games were released on the PS3 or PS4.

Source? Monster Hunter Freedom Unite is still the highest selling handheld MH in the West.

Monster Hunter Portable 3rd was released on PS3.

An HD port of a PSP game sold over half a million copies. His statement is still true.

You might want to check with Capcom and Famitsu.  VGC figures for that game are almost 2 million off.

Not completely true. Capcom re-relased the game 2 times as part of the cheaper "The Best" line. There are three different SKUs for Capcom to report on, so each are tracked separately.

Can't find a better link, but I assure you that this is a writeup based on an offical press release by Capcom, including the fact that MH4U is the bestselling MH in the West.

http://www.twinfinite.net/2015/04/14/monster-hunter-4-ultimate-ships-big-in-the-west/

I didn't see their newest statements, so I didn't see that it shipped 1 million. Whether or not it's the highest selling now, it will be soon.

Your Point? MH4U is the best selling MH in the West and its nowhere near close of not selling anymore. Shoulda Woulda Coulda cant help rigt now.
