It is free online initially.

Well, WoW is free online initially. (edit: got your point)

There was no way MH3 was going to pull an MH2G. I expected 1.5M lifetime, so it'll fall a bit short... still did reasonably well though.

Nice to see DQIX still selling as strong as it is. Huge third party games don't come often enough for Nintendo systems...

One guy says that MH3 didn't live to his expectations and we have thread full of defense posts. Take it easy guys.

Look again, I can see three people who posted before you that mentioned Monster Hunter 3's sales in a negative view, and one of them mentioned it bombing. The "defense posts" aren't without reason.

No pokemon is an example of one. It is the first Dragon Quest with legs that lasted this long and seem to continue to last though.

If this pace keeps up, DQIX could break four million in Japan alone!

....If Nintendo pushes hard in the West, it could actually outsell quit a few post-SNES Final Fantasies, too. That's terrifying.

A very interesting comparison for Dragon Quest IX.

Dragon Quest games on NDS.

- Dragon Quest IV: Michibikareshi Monotachi --- First Week 601.737 (Ratio 49,54%) --- LTD 1.214.610
- Dragon Quest V: Tenkuu no Hanayome --- First Week 679.442 (Ratio 57,14%) --- LTD 1.189.064
- Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker --- First Week 633.084 (Ratio 43,15%) --- LTD 1.467.179

With these ratios Dragon Quest IX (First Week 2.343.440) would end up selling:

- Dragon Quest IV ratio --- 4.730.400.
- Dragon Quest V ratio --- 4.101.225.
- Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker ratio --- 5.430.915.
