I'll take that bet. I say MH3 will sell in Japan at least 3m copies.

Alright. I'll gladly take that bet.

To make it easier, how about 2.5 million copies within one year of the game being released. or do you want to change the terms?

I was joking before. Now I'm not; anyone take that bet?

3 million in just Japan? That would be ... Impressive, to say the least. Those are the numbers that mainline Final Fantasy games usually pull in, in Japan. Like, FF7, FF8 and FF10. 3 million would be nothing short of massive.

I'm wanting to take it, I just want a time limit to be confirmed a bit. How long do we wait, etc.

Fine, I'll take that. 2,5 million copies within one year from release. What are the stakes? Change avatar? Signature? Throw my Wii out of the window? kiss Montana Hatchet's hairy ass?

No-one should expect this game to be as big as the PSP iterations. That's simply not going to happen. PSP is THE platform for it.

But what will happen now is that if MH3 will sell over a million (which is possible, but by no means a given) people will call it a failure, which is ridiculous. A console game over a million is a staggering success.

At the very least it will be by far the best sold non-Nintendo console game this gen so far in Japan, which can also hardly be considered a failure.

Sales wise it is will always be psp MH2G>>>>>>cake>>>>>MH3 wii
The portability thing just caters more to this game, two players kills the overall satisfaction of the hunt. Online is questionable, so I would still give the edge to any psp version of monster hunter over any console version of the game.

I'd say that avatar and signature control for one month is good enough?

Unless you want to something else, of course.

Just an idea; on top of that, if I lose I must buy Valkyria Chronicles. If you lose, you get Okami Wii. Deal?

Yeah, it definitely won't be as big as its PSP counterparts. The main reason the franchise became such a big hit was because of the pick up and play ad-hoc four player wi-fi co-op. You could go questing with friends on the bus, at school, or wherever.

The Wii version will surely be more popular than the ps2 versions, due to the more advance online functionality, but it still won't be quite like the PSP versions.

 

this.

monters hunter X thats another story. it will do 4 million easily in japan if possible
