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

Wait, what? I think MH3 will do fine and dandy on the Wii, but they certainly didn't choose the Wii for its networking capabilities!

With regard to 'ad-hoc' multiplayer, let's not forget that the game supports two-player splitscreen, and you can take teh guest online.

This definitely has the potential to outsell the PSP versions.
