Not long ago. It was with little enough fanfare and with a so-soon release date that people were wondering at first if it might be a rerelease or typo about the "Play on Wii" release.Stopsign said:

Seems pretty big, but we'll see. It's always hard to gauge these things beforehand. If it splatters, it won't be for lack of advertising/marketing on Capcom's part, though. I've seen as many ads for MHTri as I have for DQIX.schuelma said:

The past form of the verb is the correct one. There's been a big drop-off in the series post Minna Daisuki Katamari/ We Love Katamari.idlewild_ said:
The PS3 version's actually looking to be a minor recovery. Very minor, but small favours and all that.

Yeah, looks like this is the second "Penguin no Mondai" game from Konami.HK-47 said:
So, as expected, Capcom is going all out with the marketing for the release of Monster Hunter 3.
Shows how this launch has nothing to do with the Monster Hunter games on PS2 and has more in common with the release of the next installment on a 3 million+ selling franchise.
Surely they won't be pleased with less than 1 million (as some people predicted here), but that shouldn't be a problem and the game should easily hit that sales target with this kind of massive promotion.

IIRC they have forecast 2 million by the end of this fiscal year. Given that its not due out until March 2010 in N.A, I'd say they are expecting over a million in Japan, easily.
Anything less than a million will be a disappointment, less than 750K probably a failure IMO.

Nah MH3 only need to do 600K to be massively successful since no PS2 version have done more than that and that's with a huge user base difference.
Success in the handheld realms does not translate to consoles all the time. I mean look at Pokemon. Can't you just see all the similarities. You can't compare a new full version base game with tons of hype with the portable ports.
Setting such high standards would be pigeon holing people that predict MH3 only needing to beat the PS2 version as Wii damage controllers.

It's a different case with Pokemon, because portable Pokemon is a full game, and console Pokemon is a gimped and low budget game.ccbfan said:
Also the franchise has grown a lot in popularity since the PS2 games, so in this case it is no use comparing the two.

Chibi Robo and the penguin game sold quite well over the weekend. The sell-through for the penguin game is still pretty bad, but at least it could match the first week sales of the predecessor.

I'm @ Japan right now. went to Akihabara yesterday. every game store / camera store (they have game section) have huge promo on MH Tri(3). there are tons of merchandizes. most of them are from previous MH titles, but all of them are in front of the store.

Looking at the chart, i think Konami is pushing Pro Spirits as baseball game for home console and Pawapuro Pocket/Portable for handhelds...

We've never seen a situation like this with Pokémon, where the next major generation premieres on a console. If Pokémon Peuce & Plaid come out on Wii half a year before they come out on DS2, I imagine they'll make a bit of a splash.ccbfan said:
Huh. TO get below Tomodachi I thought WSR must be around 50K, but instead Tomodachi Collection increased.dabra said:
I wouldn't give too much credit to Capcom, though; it's merely the latest salvo in the turf war between the GGs and Poison Jam.cvxfreak said:

Hm, I wonder if Tomodachi is more responsible than DQIX for the longer bump...those aren't normal legs at all.dabra said:
On the other hand, MHP2G "budget" bundle looks like it didn't do much. It was limited to 50k systems (iirc), but in the first week it barely helps the system do 30k (it has been doing >20k without it) and the game (bundles count towards the game in software too) doesn't look like it did much higher than 10k and that's what it was doing. So...7-8k bundles sold? Quite meh.
schuelma said:
That's more than I expected, I was thinking about 500k first week.It will be interesting to see is it can meet those lofty goals, and if it will have PSP legs. Again, I can't seeing it have the legs of the psp MH games since it is not portable but I think it will do better than my initial expectations. And if it does have the legs
