gamefront.de posts that Monster Hunter 3 preorders in japan that started yesterday are very high, SSB Brawl level like. They express concerns the title to be undershipped in the first shipment. It could be the most succesfull 3rd party Wii title in japan.

I think that's good news for the title.

I'm kinda surprised by that. I think MH3 will do well, but I don't want to oversell it either.

If it can hit 800k LTD in Japan, even that I think would be a fair success because it would prove that a good core third party game can put up strong numbers in Japan.

Nintendo *must* *must* *MUST* have a new Wii hardware color(s) for Monster Hunter 3 week in Japan.

They've been saving it for a long time ... that's the week to do it, no ifs, ands, or buts about it.
