Forums - Nintendo - In West, Monster Hunter 3 will be huge seller or will bomb heavily?

Well, i think the traditional Dungeons and Dragons players will be interested in run after Giant Monster with Huge swords. But i don't know about the current wii owners...

Strategic advertising will help.



Pixel Art can be fun.

300k tops. Just for shits and giggles.




360 Games Now Playing:    360 Games unopened:  Resonance of Fate  Last 360 Game I Beat: Resident Evil 5

DS Games Now Playing: Dragon Quest VI  DS Games unopened:  Knights in the Nightmare, Etrian Odyssey III, Okamiden, Dragon Quest IX Last DS Game I beat: Radiant Historia

well, if the previous titles are any indicator, itll be somewhere in between...

but if its bundled with a black wii, instant platinum



I doubt Monster Hunter will ever be a big franchise here in the West. Nintendo would have to help Capcom and do something like make Link a playable character in the game for it to have a chance.

I think if it's extremely lucky, the maximum sales it will achieve outside of Japan (as in, America+Others together) will be 1 million. Though I will be happy to be proven wrong.



Comparing D&D to Monster Hunter is a master FAIL. I'm off.



Yeah, excluding the highly unlikely event of Nintendo bundling it with a black Wii, I think this game would be lucky to do 250k outside Japan.



# of games above 75 on Metacritic (including downloadable):

360: 241     DS: 144

PS3: 152     PSP: 126

Wii: 85

Out of Japan, it isn't so hot. It could trick the WRPG fan into a purchase or something, but Nintendo would have to really push the advertising.

In America, probably 220k.



Leatherhat on July 6th, 2012 3pm. Vita sales:"3 mil for COD 2 mil for AC. Maybe more. "  thehusbo on July 6th, 2012 5pm. Vita sales:"5 mil for COD 2.2 mil for AC."

Black Wii = instant buy for me. And I'm deadly serious.
