Though yeah it was a limited release intended as a pre-order bonus.
MH4G didn't outsell MH4 in Japan, previous G versions of portable games were released during the time when MH was still in a massive growth phase so they sold a lot better than what would be normal for that sort of release.

-------------------------------------------------------------I believe it doesn't have online play. That seriously hurts sales.
This isn't just a bomb. If we consider Famitsu numbers, that means it sold less than 3600 copies. That's not a bomb, that's a nuke.
Yeah, I've been told by a Japanese friend who hangs on games forums there's just no interest due to the cast/lack of cast. Plus SeHa isn't too popular. Monster Hunter week probably didn't help though.
But really, the franchise isn't too healthy. Maybe Dengeki LTD number paint a prettier picture but still.
I think CH might just move on soon. But to what? It's not like their other franchises or new IPs are doing good. Are they?
Heck maybe this isn't even bad considering their asset reuse? That doesn't sound right though.
Well, it was sure marketed as much as the others. I know its not a G, but G's are practically expansions instead of sequels yet do incredibly well. The 3ds series is not the portable series but does just as well etc. Its the next 'big thing' for the series that I think turned a lot of heads due to the evolution of the gameplay.
By how much? Im pretty sure it did incredibly well. Are you suggestig the series is in decline? Thought it was pretty stable. MHX doing a bit less than MH4G seems perfectly fine to me.
Wii U since the Splatoon Bundle is tracking well ahead of the MK8 Bundle last year. So I'd venture to guess it might end up doing better than December 2014, while Splatoon sales will outperform MK8 Holiday Sales:

I think Yomawari counts as a break in a series of underperformances from them.

NEW 3DS Aikatsu! My No.1 Stage! - 23.957 / ???
Should get past 100k, but looks like series is on the decline after peaking in 2013.
See Nintendo? We like FRESH stuff! You don't have to rely on your old IPs all the time.

For you.
And for me.
Too bad, we are seriusly the only two guys here who knew this. And this is hilarius.
What a surprise, a game which has ALWAYS outsold Mario Kart 8 since week 3 now will beat it again in the nexts weeks rofl.

Thats probably true.
I think 3G was like....the single Capcom test game where the game met it's target and then some.
Remember how portable 3rd HD was supposed to be a thing ? I wouldn't be surprised if 3G's great sales played a role in Vita not getting a single non-MMO MH.
The timing might be off though.
Edit:
Oh no, Net High
. I hope we'll still get it. The premise sounded interesting.Moor-Angol

I feel the fundamental difference between Monster Hunter X and your standard filler game is that the developers are still people who feel ownership of the franchise and were willing to make large scale changes to the formula in the form of Hunting Style and Hunting Arts.
It makes it more akin to playing Call of Duty from year to year instead of something like Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel, where it's not exactly the next entry in the way Black Ops 2 -> Black Ops 3 would be, but you still get a lot of changes that prove compelling for audiences.
I would say that they've been taking the best approach they could in the extreme twilight of the generation. They're notably mixing up the traditional series without setting up the expectations of a numbered title, and then leveraging the brand in titles that should appeal to late generation adopters like younger children (Monster Hunter Stories) and more casual audiences (Monster Hunter Cat Farming).

Yes, some people are still surprised thought
I expect Splatoon to finish the year around 1.2 Million combined digital/physical
The main question for me is whether it would continue boosting Wii U hardware compared to 2014 Holidays.

Who are all these people interested in Monster Hunter who didn't own a 3DS already...?
It's presumably overwhelmingly people upgrading.
That said, I could also see a variety of middle-schoolers who are now old enough to play the game getting a 3DS.
Well there was a decline coming from Portable 3rd but otherwise it's rather stable indeed. MHX is doing absolutely fine. And I'm just saying that future G version will never match the number Portable 2nd G did because that was seemingly an anomaly due to the series still growing at the time. They still sell incredibly well but I just doubt they'll ever surpass their mainline entry equivalent ever again. (unless we get a similar situation to Tri/3G where the original is released on console and the G version is a handheld game).
Portable 3rd HD port to Vita was never a thing afaik. And Capcom was committed to the 3DS from the get-go with MH since they announced MH4 for it before 3G released.

RIP Taiko no Tatsujin
It's doing better than last year's entry so maybe it'll manage to pass 100K with legs? We're probably not getting Wii numbers back for a while though...
One thing I noticed about those Shining Arcus from Blade EX sales... and some other PS3/4 crossgen games... is that the PS4 versions seemingly outsell the PS3 ones on average. Could it be that Japanese consumers are finally putting the PS3 to bed and adopting the PS4 as their primary home console?

I dont know why Capcom didnt bothered with the PSP game. Not sure if i've seen any mentioning of that from Capcom themself. I guess maybe the previous games didnt sell THAT much, so MHP3rd wasnt a priority for the west.
That makes sense, thanks.
I've heard some talk about that as well, but i'm not sure if it was just rumor/speculation or anything to it.
That might also be a factor, but the PS2 game went from ~195k to ~16k, so its probably mainly because of the selection of the songs as Bruno mentioned.
This is also the impression i get, as MHX seems to be the next big title for the serie. Capcom also expects 2.5 million copies sold within March 2016 (which i believe they had the same for MH4G as well?), so its being seen as a big project. So not that big of a surprise that its selling great, but perhaps some less sales were expected by many, like 1.1m or 1.2m instead for example. Great sales regardless though, it shows how popular the serie is.
Since October 2015, Splatoon digital sales were around 18% of total sales.
I expect this ratio to remain flat.
So, i believe we will see 1,280,000 at the end of the year.
1,050,000 retail + 230,000 digital.
I think you should not mix "being vocal/over-posting" and "being right/aware". And I'm not talking for myself here :]

Some saw this coming since a certain time based on the ratio difference with MK8 sales and it's obvious since a long time now that Splatoon is a Nintendo strong long seller and that it would enter the holiday season in full force. With the bundle it became even more a sure thing.
I was! Not to this extent in Japan but I knew Splatoon would be successful.
It's a Nintendo game with effort put in it.
No.
Net High sales makes me sad, good word of mouth should allow it to avoid bomba bins, but it will struggle to reach 10k, seeing how it looks and play and reading people who are playing it I was somehow hoping we could get a new VN franchise à la Ace Attorney / Zero Escape / Danganronpa with its own twists, but I guess we won't.
Nothing else we didn't see coming in the previous thread otherwise, except the 3DS hardware sales with lots of people upgrading for a New 3DS XL in order to play an improved MHX.
lol, that had to have been during a testfire

They did have a promotion where if you downloaded the demo, you'd get ¥1000 off the digital version. Doubt it would've had *that* much of an effect on physical sales though.

A shame for Net High.
That's as long as the game is actually good. With Net High's aesthetic, I doubt it will perform significantly better in the West like Zero Escape.
