I think it'll hit Capcom's 2 million target by March, it's already 1.1 million in Japan alone. A western Nintendo push can do a lot, just ask Level-5.

It is actually at 0.93 m in Japan, not 1.1 .

Probably 1m will be easy to reach through the holidays, but another 100k seems difficult...I hope it will be able!

It is 0.93 sold, but 1.1 shipped. Capcom's hopes was for total 2 million shipped.

Yes that's true, but tecnically it has not reached 1m.

If Nintendo markets it well over 1.5 m WW i's not impossible...now we also know that online will be free! It needs bundles probably.

Are we talking first month, first year, lifetime? If it is indeed advertised by Nintendo, first year I would say 300k-400k WW not including Japan.

Just for reference, MHFU shipped 400k NA/EU. I expect MH3 won't have all that much trouble doubling those figures...

I think that NA and EU together can match performance of the Japanese market.

Then again, I tend to be an optimist. And the Wii's software schedule will start getting crazy competitive before MH3 is released here.
