Did it not have one of the best if not best 3rd party 1st week sales for any Wii game ever in Japan...You can't be upset with that!!

Yes they are happy. The game already outsold Monster Hunter 2 on the PS2 which only sold 0.63 million in its lifetime. And that was on SONY'S console.

Of course, it is the best 3rd party game sold on console in Japan, and also the Monster Hunter with biggest sales for a console in Japan.

Every big game launched has a very good first week, and after that, sales start declining heavily, not only happens to Monster Hunter Tri, look at Metal Gear Solid 4 as an example.

Ohh you should only know...guess you haven't been on this site long

It bombed!!!! It didn't sell anywhere near the PSP monster hunters. That is what Capcom gets for going to Wii. On a more serious note, the sales are just in line with predictions of most. Definitely not something that is getting the attention that it should be getting.

Would have sold better on the PS3... lol I'm kidding, but they've shipped a million, it's doing well for a console MH game, most of the fanbase is on the handhelds, maybe if another MH game comes along on Wii it might push more fans to pick up a Wii and the game.

MHF on PSP did alright compared to MHF2 but that's what kick started things for the handheld. Maybe we'll see a similar trend with the Wii games.

It has only been sold in Japan so far.

i don't think they are, but they're rather happy that people are paying Fees to play their game online, thats what gives them the most money

Oh yeah, i forgot they shipped a million already.

Capcom really thinks they can sell a million in the west. They must b ewilling to employ any means to do so. Maybe they can succeed. In anyway, the game itself looks like lots of fun.

If they make the online with fees, then they can forget one million. You just can't do that with a new audience.

I don't know. I'll have to ask Capcom myself when they stop rolling in all the money they've made off of the first shipment.
