This game would made much more money when released on PS3. Capcom just made a mistake. This game will flop on Wii. Definitely.

WOw these are some sexy numbers! And it sold so much only in 2 days, it will easily crack a million, and who knows maybe the game will become such hit as the PSP versions. It will be interesting to see what will be the second week drop. Soo... hardcore games can sell on the Wii?

Nice sales for the Wii as well, hopefully MH and WSR can sustain some nice numbers in Japan.

Previous one so far haven't even doubled it's first week sales.

We will see if MH3 with a paid for online gameplay can mantain legs like PSP version.


1) previous ones had 4 days in first week, MH3 had 2.

2) MH wasn't as popular back then

3) controller bundles appear to have sold out

I know what you're getting at but back when MH2 came out the game was far less popular, and didn't have the casual following the series does now on the PSP, it was mostly built on hardcore followers hence being so frontloaded. The question is whether some of those more casual players will see MH3 and jump over or not.  That would determine whether the game has legs or not.  Obviously it isn't gonna sell nearly as much as the PSP version but some of the success with casuals should carry over.

What I'm saying is that the MH game you linked to was released 15 weeks ago. Monster Hunter was as popular 3 months ago than it is now.

Yeah, but wasn't that game a plain port, of two PSP-games no less, with nothing added, rather than a brand new entry into the franchise? Hardly comparable if you ask me.

Zlejedi is the one who posted the link, not johnsobas. And Monster Hunter G Wii is the port of a PS2 game, that was in a way a remake of the first Monster Hunter.

I don't think the japanese know what your talking about with that casual bs. I think japan is above the use of stereotypes and media branding/manipulation to sell violent games to teenagers, if they like a game they buy even if its got non HD graphics.

The rest of us are Uri Gellars spoons, bent to the whim of MS and Sony executives trying to keep any market share they still have.



“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

Oh I'm not comparing them. Just pointing out that that argument doesn't make sense.
