Its not that i dont believe the possibility phantom, but they explicitly say the numbers up are sales numbers. They can be lieing, we dont really know for sure, but i'm just going with the official numbers here until theres a trustworthy source saying otherwise.

Shipped = sold to retailers, that's the money that counts to CAPCOM. If MH3G is more in line with VGC numbers is because it wasn't overshipped like SSF43D and is still selling.

Phantomlink, check this link here http://www.capcom.co.jp/ir/english/business/million.html on number 50 and read the bit up-top. Its sales numbers according to them.
I'm extrapolating the number for this game based on how undertracked SSF43D is and im beeing pessimistic about it. I doubt theres 400k copies of SSF43D on retailers shops right now.
Notice also that number 29 MH3G seems to be more in line with what we have here on VGC.

@Nem. Capcom figures are shipped copies, not sold to costumers.

Given how undertracked SSF43D is (by 400k) i am guessing this games real sales must be on the 700-800k units at this point.

2) Well, if you're trying to sell something to a crowd that barely knows your brand and you don't advertise it and even refuse to give it a decent sales pitch (like Capcom did with Revelations on the 3DS), you cannot possibly blame that crowd for not buying your product. And even if you try to come up with excuses as to why you don't advertise it properly ("that crowd doesn't look like they will like my product, so I won't spend a penny advertising it to them"), nothing you can come up with will change the fact that you have only yourself to blame. So yeah, Capcom-Unity gets all the blame here for not putting some effort in selling their wares on the 3DS. They must know that M rated games and RE games are not exactly established on handhelds. So it was a no brainer to at least set aside a budget to market Revelations. But they really didn't. And the results are right there for all to see. Capcom in Japan advertised Revelations a bit more and they sold more units than Capcom-Unity did. Same game, same crowd, different sales tactic. Different results.

3) I think Vita will bounce back. But presently, according to recent reports, the best selling game in the NA market is Uncharted for Vita and it has only sold a bit higher than the 100k mark. While the other games barely sell from 50 to 80k. Sony needs to fix this situation and they will at E3 (I hope).
