Q: What do you think of sales of Monster Hunter 3U in the west?
A: I think it's off to a good start. Both versions (3DS and Wii U) debuted in the top ten in NA and EU is having shortages from how well it's selling, which is good news, but the real test is the following month. Monster Hunter fan base is strong and those are almost guaranteed sales, it's the first timers that we need to find the things that made us fall in love with the series. These people need to tell their friends so they can tell more friends and so on. The Wii U is still a very new console also and since the 3DS version requires a Wii U to play online, it's a tough sell also but it's going in the right direction.
