Well, Nintendo really is in need of an exclusive shooter, so they probably want this one to be strong. Let's hope they do the same and give Devil's Third a hard push.

It sold well for nintendo I take it? and everyone loved the online multiplayer?

*edit: ah that was a NDS game.

Competitive online multiplayer in a shooter, on a handheld.... they should have done that on non handheld consol.

Yep. And this is part of why I hope it sells well...

Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won

Indeed they should have, just saying, this isn't their first venture into the field. Hunters actually predates the COD4 explosion of FPS online multiplayer. Sadly, I couldn't find any reliable sales data for it; VGChartz hasn't tracked its European sales and has heavily undertracked it in NA.
