In its first five days, covering December 1 through December 5, Monster Hunter Portable 3rd sold 2,146,467 units...... Over the week, PSP sold 326,639 hardware units (not including PSP Go).
An experienced Monster Hunter veteran looks at the best games in the series, explaining what makes each one so great.
Gematsu: "Capcom held one of their regular “Ask Capcom” live stream events today, during which the company’s Christian Svensson addressed fan concerns over the Monster Hunter franchise’s fate in the west."
So it seems more and more likely that Nintendo will be a publishing partner on this going forward?
I have to imagine that publishing in the West was part of the deal Nintendo made to get the game and 4 on the 3DS
That or sacrificing Mario's first born.
I think that capcoms deep relationship with Nintendo has more to do with it. (Though I wouldn't rule out such deals and partnerships.)
They have been close partners on quite a few projects over the years.
That's a good thing. But based on Capcom's track record, one would assume otherwise. Hopefully Capcom are on the right path and won't charge much in the States.
thats capcom, always relying on sony, but when sony does not deliver they change to nintendo, THE F!! whats wrong with these guys..
I had never played a monster hunter game until i played the one on the Wii and i loved it. This one was money well spent.
With the Vita’s sales lagging in Japan, there’s one series that could quickly turn things around – Monster Hunter. If Play.com is to be trusted, the Vita is in luck as “Monster Hunter Portable 3” is set to come to the system sometime in the future. - PSLS
Please, please, please be true. I was considering learning Japanese so I could finally play MHP3rd on PSP. A native Vita version in English would be teh awesome.
Any doubt ? The MH series sells like hotcakes over there.
wow, those are some crazy numbers. its a good thing that PSP piracy is not big in Japan.
