@kopstudent89 you are wrong, if 126k is the NPD number, then (assuming you believe NPD numbers more than VGC) the VGC overtracking is by 7k, not 20k. VGC numbers for the US (as opposed to all of America) were 133k.

It's essentially the same as the PSP games, if you didn't like the gameplay in the PSP versions you'll most likely not like the Wii version either.

@ darth.

Probably not. Then again I haven't tried either so you should probably get opinions from more informed individuals.

I didn't expect the Others drop to be that substantial given the second weeks sales in comparison to week 1. I'm not going to give up though, still holding out on those long legs.

Personally think the wiimote and nunchuck controls are a perfect blend of buttons and movement. They are very intuitive and easy to grasp at least for me but I play lots of Wii games :) Phenomenal game using any control method and should be in your library if it isn't yet.

@AwesomeElmo: The controls differ also depending on your weapon of choice. I am quite happy with the Wiimote and nunchuck combo and my sword and shield armament. However I heard the great sword is better with the classic controller.

Perhaps you guys are correct about the legs, but I've seen plenty of good games not have phenomenal legs. The reason we all remember Modern Warfare is that it really is exceptional.

@AwesomeElmo:

The Classic Controller is a big improvement over the standard Wiimote/Nunchuk. It's still not perfect, though.

AwesomeElmo posted 12/05/2010, 03:39
I played this game last night. The game overall is quite good but the controls are a big disappointment. I haven't played using the classic controller but I can't see it being much better personally. Capcom really needs to work on its understanding of the wii controls if they really want to hit the ball out of the park with one of their games.

@hellraider
The price did drop pretty quick on MH3 in Japan, but as far as I know, it is because a specific bundle was overstated and one was understated.

Since we are one the topic of bundles, those missing 100k could also be from bundled Wiis. Capcom might have counted those or something and VGC/Famitsu didn't. Also, a few thousand could have been imported.

No, Capcom handled all the marketing in America, and Nintendo did the same in Europe. I can comment on the quality of Nintendos efforts in Europe (keep in mind that this is the company that won dozens of awards for marketing), but Capcoms efforts werent bad. They werent nearly as wide spread or common as BattleField 2 or the new SplittersCell, but they werent as bad as Red Steel 2.

I was right for America, I was just 5k away

Anyway I think this game will stablelize in 10k to 15k in America
Europe always has the best legs. It'll proberly a little lower in Europe like 8k to 13k

Putting its average to 18k to 28k a week. At that rate it could take 2 to 3 months to be a million seller
in the west

Capcom dropped the tv ads in America several weeks ago. There was very little commersial advertising pre-launch, then solid support for the week or so of launch, then nothing.

I still think that 3rd partries, in orer to tap into the mainstream Wii market in America, need to use heavy TV ads, as that media is the most common amoung "nongamers".

@guiduc - it released on the same day as all other Wii games in EU, so regardless of the numbers next week, having sold "one day" would not be the reason.

@Buzzi - if i had to chose between oni-link's and your numbers, I would go with his, as this is the type of game that, Wii or no Wii, is more front loaded. That said, I expect numbers to be actually somewhere in the middle between yours and his.

You expect just 20k next week in Americas? No way, it'll surely sell more than 50k, it's a Wii game, huge drop-off are not common and not sharp, plus this is a game a lot of people didn't know so word of mouth is important and reviews too...not to forget the great marketing!

hmm...I expect it to be a bit undertracked in the Americas. It is litterally sold out in most areas and even amazon was out of this for a while. I'm still sticking with my 140K for it's FW sales and 160K for the month. I guess we will have to wait until NPD releases their numbers which VGC should be higher because it takes into account Canada, Mexico, and other retailers that NPD doesn't take into account.

With the current preorders it looks to track in at 70K to 80K in week one. However it still has 4 more weeks to go so maybe it could get a bump and get a week one release of 100-110K which would make it one of the best 3rd party release on the Wii in a looong time. Pre-orders currently are at 38K units and looking at the week one it always seems to double that of the pre-order.

850K in all other territories within a year? I think your being too generous, but its definitely possible considering that Nintendo is running the marketing campaigns in NA. I say 400K -600K in Americas + Other in a year, depending on the strength of the ads.

IF advertised well 100k first week in states is realistic... hopefully it's advertised well and not treated like a retarded step child like most third party Wii games

0.99 Million, sonly a few more people need to buy it for it to touch 1 Million, I think this game will do quite well in USA too. about 100,000 first week I'de say if not more.

@oni-link: I think the game is overtracked if you compare it to Famitsu/Media Create, but not by much.

@ TheConduit, what are you talking about? The reason Wii was chosen was probably because of the Wii install base in Japan and how bad Monster Hunter games does in the West compared with Japan. As you see, Monster Hunter 3 does good in Japan.

That said, I don't think there will be another console Monster Hunter until the next generation.

I agree. A flop in Japan this is not. Crazy to even think so.

I just hope Capcom doesn't act stupid when it finally comes for the American launch. Treat this game as you would any high profile game on the other systems and how you did the PlayStation 2 last generation. Advertise, advertise, advertise. The game will do well.

By the time this reaches America, it will have sold over 1 million in a region with less than 9 million Wiis. Other than Wii Sports Resort, it's the best selling new Wii game this year in Japan. And yet people consider it a flop. People sure are crazy.

Capcom say that they have already shipped 1.1 millions only in Japan, so a new shipment of 100.000 units have been done after the initial 1million one. They must be VERY happy.

It very well could, I plan to pick it up and already had it on the Wii. Coming out early on the Wii U with little competition should help it, plus the 3DS cross play which I think a lot of people will find intriguing.

Hoping Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate for the WiiU can pull off some impressive numbers as well.

PS: I know it's still 3 but also in HD and with tons of New monsters not seen on the Wii version or outside Japan.
