That's cool :o

Wonder if they'll do something like this for MH3 as well? If they want the series big in the West as in Japan they're gonna have to market and promote a lot.

 

I certainly hope so - but it depends on Nintendo as well. They rarely release 3rd party game/Nintendo system bundles in the West.

It's nice that they are trying but west is more about home console online than psp adhoc parties so I don't see much chances to repeat Japan success.

 No doubt, but they are bundling it with PSP in Europe, and that alone is bound to sell hundreds of thousands of copies of the game.

Poor, poor Capcom. Prepare for ultra-shitty sales!

Well, they need to get ad-hoc party over here!

That would definitely help out sales and multiplayer PSP gaming in general!

What? Thanks to bundle it's going to be best selling Monster Hunter game in Europe by far...

Yay, bundles. And who pushes for this bundle and will be disappointed in the end? who has to finance it? what's the worst RPG market? who are the biggest pirates?

Stick with NA, Capcom.

I don't think so...MHF2 managed to sell 610k on PSP in America + Others with only Internet ads and mags. This one is getting more push so I wonder how it will sell.


I wonder if it can hit 800k+ this time around. This would be a great stage to set for MH3 which should be more popular than the PSP ones in the West.

They should bring this to NA too...

The bundle? Eh, I think NA has enough bundles.

Although, I'm not sure as to why this would be more popular on the Wii in the west. I expect them to do pretty similarily.

 Agreed.
