That the thing capcom is the king of abusing retailers expectations.Look at Street Fighter 4 and Resident Evil 5 selltrough to shipped numbers and start looking like some sort of scam.

Since you're still debating MH3, here's Famitsu number for last week - 10,000.

Also, 13,000 for MHP2G.

Good to see that getting ostracized over MH3 was worth it, and I was right about it's legs.

It's done very good in terms of overall cume. It's the best MH on a console, ever. That's certainly a grand feat. But there were a lot of MH/Wii fanboys predicting just way too much out of it, and attacking others that thought it wasn't going to have legs.

I honestly didn't see many people predicting huge numbers for it.

I predicted 1 million LT for instance. You can check The Source's prediction thread for it and you will see that almost no one was expecting unreasonable things like you say.

trestres:

Yet when I argued that it's legs were dying, I got jumped on by Neos and Soriku for being pessimistic about it it's legs. Neos argued that it was going to pass the 360 HW as of just 2 weeks ago. I don't know, maybe it's just that the ones that predicted the most were also the most vocal :-p

Again, it's done reasonably well. Bad legs, but it's debut was good enough to negate whatever happened afterwards.

Oh OK, lol passing 360 HW is not happening any time soon.

But yeah, it's always the minority who expects such crazy things.

Every weekly sales thread end up a mh3 "discussion" thread.

MC had MH3 outselling MH2G (MH3 is at 15,000 on Media Create). Can we copy paste the posts from this thread to next week?

Post the Media Create numbers if you have them then!
