RPG: stop being such an incredible ass. It's really pathetic to use those few CrazzyMan like predictions to "prove" that Wii owners are insane. You have a very unhealthy anti-Wii attitude, which I understand if your favorite genre is transferring rapidly to it, but doesn't warrant your endless negativity.

And yes: MH3 will be a big success. I personally expect first week sales over 400k and LTD Japan of more than a million. Which will roughly be twice as big as the biggest PS2 version.

Japan LTD-1.4 mil+

1.5-2m LTD

What is it that makes this game so popular on PSP? I don't doubt it is, I'm just wondering what makes it so suited to a handheld? Although, I don't really understand the game's popularity at all, Japanese taste is pretty alien to me sometimes.

How dare you insult me BengaBenga. I have been called anti-wii for saying MH will not sell as much as the PSP versions, anti-360 because Alan Wake looks like shit and anti-PS3 because I hate LBP, MGS4 and R2.

Give me a break, you as well as Fishyjoe are in no position to call someone anti- (insert console).

Opening week of 300-500k. Should end up with 1-1.5 million in japan. 2.5 million world wide.

You go get em RPG! Don't let everyone tell you your being something that you know you aren't!

I posted above the obvious reason why the game took off on hand held platform, the game saw quite a few rereleases and repackaging, each version, the PS2 versions weren't so lucky except for G I believe which came with G and G PS2 is the best. The PSP ones saw many revisits and not in just a launch period, this was over a few years.

I read you replies and i feeling like you waiting for someone to come in and said "This game'll sale like crazy!" and you can insult them.As same as Fishyjoe and Benga feel.

But looking like you not trying to do it ,so this seems it has some thing wrong in communication between readers and writer which not correct to what you want to explain.

For me i make many threads about MH ,like you said but because i love this game and in any thread i make i never saying anythink like this game gonna kick PSP ass.I only trying to show this game to gamers ,to show how good it is and to invite them to become MH fan.

I'm gonna gues 800K total. My guess anyway.

I expect this game to sell pretty well

it will sell 500k first week then probably up to 2m lifetime.
