'I still think there is a big advantage to put big titles on Wii instead of PS3 in Japan because they sell very well with the big userbase on Wii (see MH3 and DQX will also sell huge no doubt) and the development costs are lower than for the HDconsoles.'.

lol

Conclusive proof right there!

Two of the biggest IPs in Japan, and one of those games not even released yet.

Well FFCB did better than Echoes of Time... (first week in Japan for Echoes was 23,248). Given Echoes' numbers, I don't see why anyone has big expectations for FFCB numbers though... Yes it looks like a better game, and Echoes was a DS port, but still..

Echoes of Time was a port... from DS.
Yes, basically a DS game on Wii.

FFCB is a Wii game.

@soriku

if they were smart, they could have made FFCC into kinda like a monster hunter gam

FF + MH Gameplay === HUGE SALESSSSSS

And i still bet FF13 outsells MH3. On a much lower userbase too.

By the end of this gen, the top 3 best selling 3rd party games will look like this...

  1. Dragon Quest IX (DS)
  2. Dragon Quest X (Wii)
  3. Monster Hunter Portable 3rd (PSP)

i believe it will be more like this:

1. MHP2+MHP2G (PSP)

2. MHP3+MHP3G (PSP)

3. DQIX (DS)

4. DQX (Wii)

Aren´t MHP2 and MHP2G two different games?  At least Famitsu and Media Create counts them as such. I could see MHP2G being on top though by itself with the legs it having thanks to the best price release and the fact that it´s bundled with the PSP hardware.

MHP2G is just MHP2+extra content. It's really just an expansion pack where MHP2 players could transfer their character, and new players can just start from the beginning of MHP2.

I would much rather, from a gamer's point of view, the game as it is now.

If DQIX stops selling, it will still take MHP2 1.5 years to match it in sales (if its weekly sales dont drop). So no. And I am willing to bet that MHP3 will be less successfull than MHP2.
