The main draw, at least with the PSP version, is being able to hang out with your friends, and hunt monsters together. 

It's a great sense of community hanging out with your friends, and taking down huge monsters.  

"Come stronger than that?"

I think I came pretty strong already. You read my last post, right? Irrefutable.  You're just repeating yourself, ignoring the inconvinient truths.

If this game was coming too the PS3 you would be all over it. Do you think it'll do worse for the Wii? Don't you think this game was a system seller for the PSP? I think it coulda been for the PS3. We have differing opinions.

What my problem is, is that your trying to back yours up like its based off "facts" and not your hopeful fanboyism, which it obviously is. It's such a bold prediction it HAS to be based off something the common man doesn't know.

Let me say this too you one more time.

The game wasn't popular until it released on the PSP. That doesn't mean it is now popular BECAUSE it released on the PSP, and that's a fairly bold leap to make, let alone saying that the game will once again lose all of its popularity, because its making the jump back to a home console.

"It's an outdoor game." "People only like to play it on the go."

Now you wanna talk bullcrap, and stuff that people can't back up? Well, your two main talking points are rediculious, and they're your real assumptions here, not what I said.

However, EVEN IF the game became popular because it was on the PSP, that doesn't change the fact that it's popular now, and from just popularity and sheer fanbase, there will be people who buy the next incantation of the series, no matter which console its on.

The only debatable point here is, will the game sell above average for a third party game, a hell of a lot for a 3rd party game, or will it sell PSP level for a 3rd party game, and will the game be a hardware mover, or just another Japanese-centric exclusive for the Wii. Feel free to debate that one with yourself all day.

Perhaps I should let it die, but your insistance on standing behind your rediculious Monster Hunter 3 damage control is not only laughable too me, but it's insulting to the average poster who is expected to what? Believe you? 

Oh no, everybody, I was wrong, he's right, Monster Hunter 3 on the Wii doesn't matter and won't sell a copy. It will totally bomb, because Monster Hunter is a PSP game, and people only like to play it "on the go," or outside.

However, if it were only on the PS3, it would be its savior for Japan, because Japanese have brand loyalty for Sony, and it fits the demographic better.

I don't know how much this game will sell and I don't care. Maybe your right about the actual numbers, maybe it won't sell 100,000 in total, but I do know this. Your "justifications" for reasons why this will happen are a total fraud, and they're damage control. Stop acting like they are ligitimate evidence. They aren't. Monster Hunter wasn't popular until it hit the PSP, and it is popular now. Would you not buy Golden Sun Wii because, pfft, I only like to play Golden Sun outside?

@ Zen

You mistake me for Leo-J or some other Sony Fanboy.

Yes, I like Sony. Yes, I do plan on, and want to buy a PS3, but I'm realistic.

THERE IS NO PS3 SAVIOR IN JAPAN. I know that. Everyone knows that. I know this game wouldn't sell well on the PS3, especially because the user base is smaller.

Like I have said. Give me a number it will sell, and a reason why.

This thread has nothing to do with my personal beliefs, because my prediction is based off of FACTS, not me saying "Oh, the game gained popularity, so it will sell well".

So like I said. Give me a number and how you arrived there, not bash my numbers because I like Sony.

It will sell at least one random copy to a MH fan, because MHG2 or whatever it is, sold a million copies on the PSP. That's my contention.

Also, I don't know your numbers, and I'm not bashing them, I'm refuting your justifications, nothing more.

And I never said the series was popular because you can go outside. I said it's popular in Japan because you're able to play in the same general area as your comrades.

You also spelled "ridiculous" and "legitimate" wrong.

The last resort of a failed debater, is insulting his opponents grammar.

@ Zenfolder

So like I said, you had nothing else to do but bash my personal beliefs, which had nothing to do with this game or thread. If anything, I may have overshot this game, because I love the series so much.

And the whole me calling it a system seller if it was on the PS3 is bs. It's nothing but speculation. And you have no proof of that.

I'm one of the more competent Sony fans, please give me more credit than that.

 No, not really, I just don't like looking at misspelled words.

I think you are, but still, the fact remains, saying MH3 won't sell well on the Wii, and basing that assumption upon PS2 sales, is purposfully leaving out a very important point, which is when Monster Hunter was released on the PS2, it wasn't a popular game, and had no rabid hardcore fanbase, but when it will be launched on the Wii, it will already be immensely popular and have a very rabid hardcore fanbase. Acknowledge that when you make your argument, and I have no problem with your justifications.

Also, I prefer the word "refute" to the term "bash."

...and I don't like misspelling them, but it happens sometimes, in a heated debate.
