92k first day with the majority being the controller bundle. Possibly will bode well for some hardware movement. Guess is about 130k-150k first week. More than I expected it to do haha.

Monster Hunter Tri (Wii)

dib8rman on 24 April 2009

Tri was huge, guy G well, I'd buy G but not for the online. V_V I'd rather have friend codes than pay $8 a month. >.>

I'd like to see if the software selling hardware bit is true - I'll wait till the end of the Week, if the Wii can rebound that would be interesting.

But a PS2 expansion pack that flopped on the Ps2 debuts at 90k in Japan isn't a bad thing, but if Wii hardware shoots up then maybe people have a point, if not then there is some crow to be eaten.

I'm Unamerica and you can too.

Monster Hunter G Wii is probably going to outperform the opening week of Monster Hunter (119K) and Monster Hunter G (128k week one) on PS2.

The PS2 base was 18m units when Monster Hunter G came out, the Wii base is 8m units when it came. For a four year old port on a base thats 4/9 the PS2 size its a very solid result.

QFT

I think TheSource just ended the discussion

Yes I'd second that.
