Well they're quoting all that from this twitter: http://twitter.com/PSPLifeBaki said:
I have no idea how reliable that source is.
Edit: Reading the twitter account, it seems the MH3 PSP2 stuff is purely speculation.

Reading the source. It seems as though the guy is saying that Ready at Dawn is working on a launch title. Megaton if true, those guys did a stunning job on the 1st PSP.Dascu said:
PS: Although the twitter account does not mention it. I think Monster Hunter 3P is a launch title. Would explain the silence.
In terms of sales, I expect the PSP 2 to have sold nearly 2.5M by the end of the year in Japan. With the launch week being north of 600K.

Wishful thinking?
Baki said:
I think you have to take into account all of the different releases for MH when comparing franchises though.
Not at all trying to diminish Monster Hunter on PSP at all..but I don't think you can say its on par with Dragon Quest yet.

I thought that was the case, but wasn't sure. Thanks.

I think it is pretty much guaranteed that the PSP 2 will do gangbusters at launch (barring some crazy occurence such as FIVE HUNDRED AND NINTENY DOLLARSS). So that's not an issue. However the frontloadedness could be affected.[Nintex] said:
@schuelma: I was referring to system selling ability.
schuelma said:
Indeed however I think it is pretty safe to say now that the handheld MH titles are the second biggest 3rd party franchises in Japan. When/if we get MHP3 that should do over 1 million first week and just keep going and going.
Either way I think Baki is going overboard with his PSP2 prediction, that said if the inevitable PSP successor (whenever it releases) did have a Monster Hunter game as a launch title, it will do very well to say the least. That is said without knowing what the next gen PSP will be like spec wise however going my logic I'm sure what makes handheld MH titles big will feature in the handheld.

Capcom isn't going to announce Monster Hunter P3 until after Monster Hunter Tri releases out in the States. That is probably around when they are going to announce it along with MH3G Wii.

That, or Nintendo has an exclusitivity contract that will keep the game exclusive for a few months.
Hopefully we get MH3G in the USA. I don't want to rebuy a game for extra content.

Wow, did Famitsu or someone tell them to stop or else?
In regards to our previous discussion though, I find it really surprisingly that people are so willing to predict sales the sales of The Last Story.
I mean, literally all we've seen of the game is an unfinished piece of concept art and a logo. Based on Sakaguchi's "a true next-gen RPG" statement, the game could be anything from the next Final Fantasy to the next Crystal Bearers.
At least we've seen Reginleiv and an old version of Monado, so I can understand predicting those.

With all this MH3P on PSP2, what if it launched on DS2?
Baki said:
Nope. I presumed too much. 630,552 GBA launched at 611,504. I still don't personally see a PSP2 launched in 2010 getting to those numbers, but it's not as far-fetched for a new release as I figured.
LINK.AGE76 said:
Multi-plat?
It'd probably need to have comparable specs to a PSP2 for that to fly.
People are still talking about MH3P like it's actually happening? How about waiting for an announcement first? For all you know the next portable MH is going to be a new entry, or along the lines of incorporating Frontier content instead of 3 content, in both cases making it MHP3 instead of MH3P. Let's wait and see?
There would be the potential that some PSP owners would simply pass on the Wii version and wait for the PSP version if it was already confirmed to be coming.Baki said:
From the way Capcom and Nintendo have been talking, it sounds as though Nintendo is going to make a pretty extensive and expensive marketing push for MH3. With Nintendo putting a significant investment into the game, it is certainly a possibility that they might have insisted on some sort of exclusivity deal for the game so that their marketing efforts weren't undercut by a PSP announcement.
In any case, I think that there is still a chance that MH3P comes to the DS2. If I was forced to make a guess, I would say that the odds are in the PSP's favour, but I wouldn't completely rule out the DS2 at this point. Nintendo and Capcom have clearly worked together pretty closely on MH3 for a long time now, and at this point, the DS2 has to be considered the odds-on favourite for next-gen dominance in Japan. Capcom missed the boat pretty badly on the DS this time around, and getting MH3P on the DS2 at launch would really give them a great foothold on the platform for next gen - something that they never achieved on the DS.
Like I said, I would put the odds of the game coming to the DS2 at less than half, but I wouldn't rule it out at this point. Of course, that is assuming that the DS2 will be launched within the next 15 months or so. Any later than that, and it's probably not even a remote possibility.

I don't know, just a random question. You guys are right tho, we can't assume that much since we don't know how the next hardware will be like and the specs. Like some said, Sony should concentrate on PS3 this year and think about PSP2 for next year. I can see PSP4000 releasing this fall but not PSP2.

Do they mean an app store on PSN or something? Sony is trying to prep the PSN to be the do all/end all for Sony products, they have games, minis, comics, videos, vidzone, soon to have video on demand (qriocity) and music store is rumored to be coming as well. Considering how they're always talking about PSN and how big it'll be for them, there's no way they'd license a 3rd party app store when they could make much more money with their own app store.
Everything else sounds feasible though.
EDIT: Reading the google translation, it seems to say their own app store.
Well I hope the rumor is true, I do have a couple of more things on my wishlist that I'd want
EDIT 2: Random twitter account is the real source..... :/
