NOTE - I never said said the Wii version will sell because of its userbase. I answered the dudes question. He said why are there these huge expectations and one of the factors is the userbase.
So dont misinterpret what I said.

Same for Call of Duty 1 (PS2) vs say Call of Duty 4 on 360. If you are looking at it from such a miniscule perspective such as userbase then of course you'll not see the big picture. Like when Modern Warfare turned the series or brand into something large then sales increased. Had really nothing to do with userbase but now the brand is hot. More people going to buy it. Not to mention when it is seen as the dominant brand for that genre then it even owns the hell out of other games in the genre such as how Resistance 2 fell to World at War. It's something almost exactly the same with Monster Hunter. When it was on PS2 it just wasn't a huge property. But it just happened to take off with the PSP and the brand became large in the country. Building off that, the Wii version should feed off of it.
Userbase is a limiting factor people not a law. Monster Hunter 3 on Wii won't do as well as the MH PSP games but the brand is large enough right now to make it do better than most of the PS2 versions before it. |
My only point was that bigger userbase =/= more sales. That is all.
And again, the Monster Hunter has more to do with the Pokemon effect rather than an ip that just got hot.
I'm expecting atleast 1 million in Japan, possibly 1,5... Outside of Japan, I dunno. Not expecting it to turn many heads. LTD WW could be about 2 million if it does 1,5 in Japan, I think.
it will sell better in japan.
in the west it won't work >_>
we dont have those confy high tech games they use to Ac HOC party games.
I expecting something like 1.5 for japan, and 2.0 in the west... but if the game takes too much to be realised on the West my expectations falls to 1.0 in the west, because the people will hate the waiting time.
I think if the game breaks 1 mil in Japan Capcom's staff will collectively **** bricks. About 750K is a full on success for the game. Anyone expecting beyond 1 mil for a console version of MH in Japan is setting themselves up for diasappointment and anyone that thinks it should do as well as MHP2G is retarded.
You do not have the right to never be offended.

Sounds right to me, only maybe more around 1.5 worldwide.
And I thought it's me who has low expectations for the game.
the real reason mh3 was to be released on the wii i think is because of the wii's strong networking. as we all know monster hunter games require a lot of multiplayer, so they thought hmm what console is the easiest to get online. lets see people have to pay for x360, cross that off. well the ps3 is ok but the online can be confusing (my friend cannot get his ps3 to access this linksys router!! wep error or something)
so hmm that leaves the wii. as reggie fils-ame said not only is the wii the leading console this generation in terms of ease to get online, it has the strongest support for online and not a cost at all! so i think this combine with development is why monster hunter tri will be released on the wii.
I predict at least 2 to 3 million in japan alone for such an AAA game
prediction: wii to sell 150million console by end of 2010
