600k retail! I wonder if that's the last milestone it'll ever reach. Is 700k even a possibility?

Surprisingly apparently has the second best sales of a console Monster Hunter game behind Monster Hunter 2. Sadly, Japan seemingly has spoken on their feelings for consoles in the post HD era, and the Japanese companies that don't have to are not even going to try.

I love how capcom thinks probably 650k(with digital) on a console with less than a million userbase isnt enough to justify a mh4 port
that would have done very well capcom XD

Meanwhile, capcom takes 18 months to localize MH4G to 3ds and no sign of a Wii U version. Pathetic.

Still dont know if I will ever buy this, played it a bit on Wii, failed, and dont have 100+ hours for this. Plus, losing a fight and do it all again really exploded my frustration armour.

If a (very) cheap port of a 3DS and Wii game can sell 50mil with zero marketing or promotion, imagine what a full HD console Monster Hunter on Wii U could sell, especially with a strong ad campaign. I mean, if you can't make a game that is all about having - as ProJared put it - "kick ass boss fights" look cool and desirable in an ad, you need to quit your job and go home. But this idea makes too much sense for Capcom, so it probably won't happen. :P

@NoirSon - Actually, Nintendo is paying for the servers, not Capcom. So there is no loss for them on that front.

This game is undertracked. Capcom said it sold 500k.

I'd wager that if they ported an "HD" version of MH4 to Wii U eventually, it would sell much better than this. This sold pretty well, as it is, considering most people who really wanted it already had it on either Wii or 3DS.

Given the game was made on the cheap, the only probably loss Capcom has from MH3U for the Wii U might be the servers for online play. Still, I had figured before the Wii U's release that the Western audience would gravitate more toward the home console port... live and learn.

Capcom themselves that Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate on the Wii U is a smash hit.

I expected this to get a lower proportion of the Western sales vs the 3DS version considering Wii U has a much smaller base and is more expensive. Westerners really like their big screen HDTVs it seems...

The first week sales for MH3U are roughly around 36k, but in truth, it's the second biggest third party WiiU title opening here in America. ZombiU cleared 91k in its first week, while many others netted 21k-16k. So while this number may not seem like much, it's a start.

200k? (for japan) Not bad........not bad at all. Lets hope it sells just as well here in the Americas and in Europe at least (if not a little more).

Honest given the state of the Wii U's user base, I see it only getting a boost to push the sales up toward 0.30 million, maybe up to 0.50 million out of NA and Europe.

Too premature to say how this is doing so far, but someone on IGN forums who purchased his copy said this:
"On a related note, they sold 7 copies of the 3DS version, and 3 copies on the WiiU version in front of me. She said they were selling well. Don't know if it's moving systems, but Atleast third party is getting support."

So this game seems to be shaping up to have success in America. That's good.

I think it can reach a million with the ww sales and through all wii u's life, but capcom can't keep selling tri we need MH4 for bigger numbers

keroncoward, Media Create and Famitsu also track this game. There is no chance this is undertracked. It just has a more dedicated fanbase. For a launch game thats just a port of a port, sales certainly aren't bad. It should certainly have better legs than a typical monster hunter game like the 3ds one did.

NoirSon posted 06/01/2013, 01:12
Hm, given that this is a port of a game that was released a year ago, most of the fanbase prefers portable games and previous portable ports like MHP3 HD version released on the PS3 didn't sell that well, it is fine. Any real sales for this game at least will have to come from Western markets.

150k sales for a console base that (so far) is roughly around 550k is hardly what I would call awful. It's still among the top 5 selling WiiU games in Japan, and Capcom DID confirm more support for WiiU some time ago... not necessarily ports, but more original IPs.
