Sure, not sure if he is the guy.

 

[zroid]

I dunno, Gibbo always tweets about industry stuff in Japan. And he live-tweets Nintendo investor meetings and such.

 

[Tenki]

Who is the guy who usually tweets the stuff in advance?

well its just had its biggest ever software launch

 

[Aquamarine]

250K is equal to the 3DS LL launch, or early holiday season weeks in terms of 3DS sell-through.

It's an incredible amount of hardware to push during that time. If Monster Hunter can really sell that much 3DS consoles, it would be fantastic.

MH3G helped 3DS break records, so MH4 pushing at least 250k is quite possible.

The 387K / 510k that MH3G helped achieve for the 3DS was also during the holiday season, so it will be interesting to see the effect of a Monster Hunter release on the 3DS during a normal sales period.

 

[Busaiku]

Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate was also following up on Super Mario 3D Land and Mario Kart 7.
Can't exactly give it all the credit.

true it was in the holidays but also if I remember right severely undershipped leading so potentially far more copies could have been sold and potentially even more hardware

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[GulAtiCa]

298k. Wow

 

[Zoramon089]

Imagine if Pokemon X/Y and MH4 came out the same day or same week...

 

[Anteo]

How much of a difference makes tracking 2 days instead of 4-5? 100k-150k copies?

 

[RyougaSaotome]

Beast mode initiated.

 

[cw_sasuke]

This would be one stupid decisions to make xD
They already seem to have 3DS shortages with MH4 alone.

Depends on how much they shipped.

for comparision purposes:

MHP3 in its first five days
01. / 00. [PSP] Monster Hunter Freedom 3 (Capcom) {01/12/10} - 1.950.717 / NEW

Hardware was 325K

 

[zroid]

On a related note, the disparity between OG and LL sales is insane. In previous weeks, we've been looking at around a 1:2 or 1:3 ratio. Suddenly it's 1:5.

Wow. Software sales easily passed that in 5 days (especially if you include digital), and hardware almost definitely did too.

Which makes a lot of sense when you think about it.

We're talking about an audience that's heavily 16-25 here, so they have a lot more disposable income to work with.

slightly more than that for a franchise that opens up at >2M

Extremely good sales! Famitsu data includes download cards am I right? So Capcom's press release of 2 million would be sales and not shipments as they most likely included Direct Eshop sales correct?

 

[CrisKre]

Holy shit. That's way more than I expected.

 

[Hero of Legend]

without a doubt.

We have ourselves a new MH king gentlemen and ladies, without a doubt, MH4 has outdone MHP3rd in the same period, and MHP3rd was on a notably higher userbase at the time.

also needs to mention that

so the mh4 sales numbers are really impressive

 

[Busaiku]

Holy crap, it beat Monster Hunter Portable 3rd.
This is ridiculous.

 

[LOCK]

Holy crap at both.

300k! I doubt Nintendo expected that much hardware movement.

Are there 3DS temp "shortages" in Japan?

 

[Bruno MB]

Very strong sales, I'm curious about its download card sales, we will have to wait for Media Create numbers.
