Effectively, when I see it, I think about the Dolphin: a Wii game in HD! XD
Not that it looks bad, nono, it is good...just doesn't push PS3
I'm honestly not sure why Namco would ever bother doing a major effort like ToH on any handheld ever again. They've seen what Tales fans like on portables - ports or remakes of older games and fanservice spinoffs to complement the main entries. Those are cheaper and faster to make, and sell very well. I don't see a good argument for supporting handhelds with a "proper" new Tales game when they can make it on consoles instead and sell a ton more.
Japan still in holday-mode?
At a higher price to boot.
Depends on the business. Many have returned to work, but others may be off until Monday.
lol
Pretty sure 4gamer are off from the 29th through to the 4th, so they'll probably post numbers tomorrow morning.
Not sure about Famitsu.
4gamer will be back today, but we have to see if they'll give us the Top 20 at the usual time.
Famitsu should post the no-numbered Top 10 like normal.

A main entry which can top 600k then will ensure more fanbase for spin-offs and porting and remake imo.

Sort of off-topic but I was trying to pin down the 3DS's current worldwide LTD.
I wanted to know since I wanted to compare it to what the DS had sold at Nintendo's E3 2006. There, they said the DS had sold 16 million in 18 months. And that was before NSMB and the DS Lite.
- 4.1 million in Japan (via this thread?)
- 4 million in US (via December NPD PR)
- 2.42 million in "other" as of September 2011 (via their FY 2011 results)

Make a game for PS3 didn't mean automatically it will cost more than other systems.
If you have 100 people on 2 years development on PS3, it won't cost more than 100 people working 2 years on a 3DS game.

And it did it without any massive price cuts. I wonder if MHTriG will keep its sales momentum going to, say, outsell the regular release of MHP 2nd.

that is a bit higher than what Capcom would hope for... I would like this to be true

Are we really expecting MH3G to sell 115k? I say 105k max.

What do you mean max?
It'll do close to 100K this week.
Are you expecting a massive drop off to basically 0 next?

I would say it's possible if they release a budget version at the right time.

Do you mean just in Japan or worldwide(assuming they bring it over to the West)?
Gianni Merryman

May I ask, is it some gravepine rumour or are you just making a guess?
Here someone apparently takes MH3G being brought to the West as a given, but if you're right about MH4 out in late 2012 I can't see it happening...

I think it won't sell more than 105k this week, that's what I meant.
To reach the million mark this week it should sell more than 115k, which I don't see happening.

So 10K sends the prediction from impossible to right on the money? If you're predicting 105K than 115K doesn't seem all that crazy or different at all.
That "other" figure is shipped, though they've most likely sold through all of them by now.

115k would be a 26% drop, correct? It dropped 26% in this week in the best week of the year for sales, I doubt it'll see such a small drop this week, 115k is the upper limit for sales this week and it's not the most likely number, even 110k would probably be overly optimistic.
Don't we usually get numbers today?
It's looking like there will be a delay due to 4gamer's hiatus. I even took a peek at last year's thread and it was created a day later in the afternoon (Japan Time, oh noes!)...
Yeah. Thought so, cvx must be forgetting that it is the 5th in Japan.
Edit:
Or not I forgot 4gamer is on break....
I don't think that'll happen without a discounted re-release. But if they do one late this year, it could go well beyond 2 million.

it has around 48 weeks till MH4 when it probably comes out the same time as 3G. If it sales 20k on average, it will sell that much. Totally possible I believe
Thread is big and all, but you were warned about this week's unusual schedule: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?p=33811686#post33811686 =P
I don't believe MH4 is coming out at the end of 2012 either.
But I don't know, last year we didn't have any report from 4 Gamer for week 51, instead we had to wait some hours for MC releasing datas. And then, for week 52, we had to wait again.
But this year, we had the 4 gamer datas in time, I think it'll happen again this week.
I mean, I hope

It is usually posted 00:00 in Japan.
...Oh, didn't read the 15:00 part.
So, okay.
...No, wait, it's not ok, since we haven't even got the Famitsu Top 10
