dolemit3 on 28 March 2008

Monster Hunter Portable 2G delivers a monstrous opening day. The previous installment was only 512k first day. Of the 670k, 17k were the bundled version, so expect a good rise in the PSP numbers for the upcoming week.

MHP2 did 512k first day, so this is PSP biggest seller ever on first day.

What really surprises me is that this is supposedly just an expansion.

1 mil first week?

This could be the highest PSP opening week... EVAR!

I wish that this would come to the states.

 If I'm not mistaken, that honour was held by Crisis Core at around 500k?

I predicted 600K first week, but it looks like it will be close to 80K, MH game are extremely top heavy when it comes to first week sales.

 

The only reason this game is so amazing is the online play. Keep it up 



Soriku (Feb 10/08): In 5 years the PS3/360 will be dead.

I love Capcom. I'm glad to see that they have an RPG force on par with just about anything in Japan.

monter hunter success is due to its excellent co-op wifi multiplayer experience. 4 ppl max in one quest.
imagine 3 of your usual hunting mates upgrade to MHP2G, you will HAVE TO UPGRADE it in order to continue playing with them.
so expect MHP2G will sell as good as, if not better than MHP2 ;)
