Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Monster Hunter Tri hits a million!

killeryoshis on 14 January 2010

Let's all hope the game does a million in the West. Than Monster Hunter 4=wii excluesive. Also they should advertise it. Trust me it does alot. Why else would Starfy be at 500k sales already. ADVERTISEING!

(killeryoshis note - Who put that there ?)
Switch is 9th generation. Everyone else is playing on last gen systems! UPDATE: This is no longer true

Yes it is a 'flop' when compared to its portable cousins.

It's also a subscription based online RPG.  It's outsold every subscription based game in Japan ever released, including (all versions combined of) FFXI and PSO.

 

 

actually PC version sells quite well

How well, though. I don't understand why some people have to undermine Tri's sales like this.

The best selling PC game ever in japan was Ys VI, which sold ~500k.  Or half what MH3 on Wii sold.

btw, since Ys VII sold only 100k, I guess it's an even bigger flop.

Well, Frontier hasn't sold a million in Japan, so what's it matter?  MH3 is still the best selling subscription based Japanese game ever.

First it stafy not starfy 2nd I used it as a example on how they should use it. It wouldn't sold as well just look at the commercial


Just look at it, It makes me proud to own the game. Also my cousins saw this on TV. That's how they know about. Trust me it helps

Wooow! That was incredible! I never saw this ad before (because I don't watch TV) and now and now I wonder how good will be the advertising for Monster Hunter tri. 

Oh and my girlfriend gave this game to me, she probably saw this ad.

A Third Party Million Seller in Japan on a Nintendo platform? And some are STILL trying to call it a flop? Or undermine its success? How sad.



Bet between Slimbeast and Arius Dion about Wii sales 2009:


If the Wii sells less than 20 million in 2009 (as defined by VGC sales between week ending 3d Jan 2009 to week ending 4th Jan 2010) Slimebeast wins and get to control Arius Dion's sig for 1 month.

If the Wii sells more than 20 million in 2009 (as defined above) Arius Dion wins and gets to control Slimebeast's sig for 1 month.
