This has already been mentioned in the sales thread, but good news:  MHG has indeed posted some excellent sales on its first day in Japan; 92K out of the 210K, with most of the sales coming from the controller edition (66K or so for that).  This bodes very well not only for MH3, but also for Wii owners HD fanboys feeling that the system is nearing its decline.

 

Fixed?

Will the Wii get back on top and ps3 at the bottom as usual from now on?

Or will we see a DS - PSP like situation?

*me wonders*

It's a port from the PS2. Doesn't that make it a cheap cash-in and a slap in the face to the Wii?



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

Plus, just for the hell of it: Kelly Brook at the 2008 BAFTAs

@Gearbox :
I start play this series on PSP ,so i really want to play MHG too.Why think people that buy MHG must ever play PS version before and buy it only for demo?

It's hard to bitch about that when the next main entry in the franchise is coming exclusively to your console.

Personally, I find the 90,000 Japanese people who bought a game for Wii which they could have bought for PS2/PSP less bizarre than the 40,000 who bought a PS3 just to play a demo of a game they won't be able to finish until months later. I mean, there are Trekkies, and then there are Trekkies who learn Klingon.
