Wouldn't call it amazing but MHS opening at least is a bit better than expected. Hopefully for Capcom it gets decent legs.

monster hunter bombed?

Those look like really low numbers for a Monster Hunter game in Japan.

It's a rpg spinoff targeted at kids (eg. Another Capcom try at creating a cross media franchise after the complete failure of Gaist Crusher). The gameplay and art is totally different, it was never going to do regular MH numbers.

Iirc from the get go Capcom didn't expect the game to break a million.

The real test for Monster Hunter Stories is legs.

The fact that it sold well compared to its dire preorders probably does indicate that they've reached more of a younger, family audience though right?

EDIT:
Not really as it would depend on what their internal budget / projections were.

As obviously the game is not going to sell numbers like the "real" monster hunter games.

All we know is that Capcom lists their expected million sellers and MHS never appeared there.
 
I haven't been paying attention to these threads as much lately, but is there any reason why Dragon Ball: Fusions has had such long legs?

If all DLC came tied to $13 figurines, I'd consider all DLC to be free
MHS did better than expected after the last couple weeks - now lets see how it will perform this holiday season.

Oh wow, 140k in two days. And this is just the beginning.

this sounds like someone saying 1 or 2 million in 2 days OMG!!! lets hope it has legs for your sake lol. i am actually interested in this monster hunter for a change so hope it comes over as i will most likely pick up a cheap 3ds this holiday for fire emblem fates
 
Lol, already a divisive thread of opinions about Monster Hunter.

Count me in the camp of "lets see how the legs are".

Blazblue kinda bombed? Thought Chronophantasma did fairly well but may be confused on that.

Norn9 not very hot though.

MHS's FW numbers dont seem all too impressive considering the push it had.In my perfect world Capcom would've used however much they spent on MHS to make the next mainline MH more content and not have crappy old Gen rehashes.
 
Looking forward to the inevitable Monster Hunter Stories release in the west next year. Hopefully it doesn't come too late otherwise I'll be busy with my shiny new NX system.
 
This is weird. I set myself up for MHS super bomba at <100k, given YSO predictions and the preorder situation, and well, that makes me think it did okay...considering the situation. But I somehow feel this is still low numbers. I guess it also depends on its legs and whether it can slowly build a following like Yokai Watch did? It's obvious Capcom put a lot into this so I feel like under 500k LTD would be disappointing.

MonHun Stories :( . What a shame, hope it'll get some good legs...

Also is it me or did Blazblue do ok?

Hardware starting to slowly stabilize again.

Apparently the Yo-Kai Watch 3 Sukiyaki is not a full game retail release, and just an expansion. They did this with Busters too, iirc.

The game was always going to live and die by it's leg's. Capcom are literally trying to pull off another Yokai watch with it's cross media promotion hoping the growing popularity of the tv series will prolong and maintain the sales of the game. The only time we'll truly know if that worked is the with the trajectory of the sales a number of weeks from now (assuming it survives that long).
 
Nice numbers for MHS! I hope the anime helps boosts the sales. Though to be honest, the anime feels pretty meh thus far when I watched the first two episodes.

Also a third version of YW3? Highly expected. I wonder how it will fair compared to the first two versions.

That's not terribly bad for MH. I was expecting under 100k, given the last thread's news.

Since it's a kid-focused game, it needs to follow the legs of a successful Level 5 property to make it successful, no? Something like Fantasy Life legs should be good.

2DS started showing some strength after the weak first week. Maybe Game Boy Micro sales level is achievable in the end.

There weren't news, only predictions from YSO and shipment ordered from retailers.

Well how much did Capcom expect to sell of MH Stories? If like 50% of copies are on store shelves that's pretty bad.

Between PS4 and PS3, I think there is more than ~15K digital. So, yeah, should be ~500K.

?

With 15k digital it would make 460k sales.
But yeah we should expect a digital ratio of 10-15% on PS4 and 5-8% on PS3 so overall it should be close to 500k retail+digital.
 
The moving goal posts, lol.

Last week: bomba, flop, bargain bins.
This week: ok but it's all about legs.

Just admit that MHS sold far beyond our predictions. And yes, 140k is a great result, especially in just two days of sales and no digital, it was also sold out at some stores.

Oh and great debut compared to Megaman kiddy spin-offs. MHS might rival some of these LTDs too.

So it's one of the promised updates?

I hope this is a free update like they did last year with Busters, and not a new and a retail game.

Edit:


That's good to hear, I guess free too.

i'm reading it as separate release, with the planned free update is still coming to sushi/tempura on same date
