[one_kill]

Wow

 

[cafemomo]

Good Job Nintendo and Capcom

now pls make Capcom vs Nintendo with the mohu dosh

 

[flippedb]

Oh boy. 3DS is on fire.

 

[Fuzzy]

Should've been region free, it would've sold out.

 

[yami4ct]

Fantastic numbers. Happy to see it. Now, bring it to the West Capcom! You hooked me with 3U, so don't leave me hanging too long.

 

[AniHawk]

3ds should be in overkill mode between now and the end of the year.

 

[Lambtron]

Get the it prints money gifs ready.

 

[Sakura]

Not bad. Personally I was thinking we'd maybe only see 150~200k, but 300k is really good. I wonder if we will see bumps for the evergreen titles in the sales thread tomorrow.

 

[Sandfox]

Should've been region free, it would've sold out.

The shipment was 2 million apparently so they basically did sell out.

 

[Meesh]

There's no stopping the 3DS Mon Hun monster machine!!!

 

[1st Course]

MH4 is much better than what I thought it would do. At this rate it will probably hit 4m before the end of this year.

 

[Scoops]

3Ds season in full effect. Dominant platform right now.

Nintendo doomed? Lol

 

[SargerusBR]

Vita am cry

 

[DXB-KNIGHT]

2 Days only? wow!

 

[Hcoregamer00]

Oh wow!!!

1,875,000 in 2 days out of a shipment of 2,000,000. I certainly hope they have a restock this week.

 

[zroid]

the monster has arrived

 

[StreetsAhead]

And now there's Pokemon, Puzzle & Dragon Z, and Mario Party for the end of the year. Bring it on.

 

[Meier]

Amazing. MH4G or whatever they call it should do even better once it comes out due to the increased user base. What a smash for both parties involved. Can't wait to see how Pokemon does in a few weeks.

 

[Bruno MB]

Decent.

Spoiler

lol

 

[Qvoth]

Mhp4v believe!

 

[NobleGreenBeast]

Nice, really nice.

 

[antonz]

Oh wow!!!

1,875,000 in 2 days out of a shipment of 2,000,000. I certainly hope they have a restock this week.

Japan has been reasonably accepting of digital titles now. MH4 is already nearing the top of most downloaded titles. So while low stock can be an issue more are starting to be willing to take the download dive.

 

[Immaculate]

from the MC thread

for comparision purposes:

MHP3 in its first five days
01. / 00. [PSP] Monster Hunter Freedom 3 (Capcom) {01/12/10} - 1.950.717 / NEW

Hardware was 325K

 

[StreetsAhead]

Vita LTD (Famitsu) - 1.755.885
MH4 (2 days) - 1.875.115

Goddamn.

 

[Hero of Legend]

Vita LTD (Famitsu) - 1.755.885
MH4 (2 days) - 1.875.115

Goddamn.

Not just that, MC has a higher total for Vita, AND IT STILL PASSED IT!!! WOW!

Edit: MC Vita: 1.823.717

 

[Hcoregamer00]

Japan has been reasonably accepting of digital titles now. MH4 is already nearing the top of most downloaded titles. So while low stock can be an issue more are starting to be willing to take the download dive.

I am sure that whatever shortages are going on will push people to buy download, considering MH4's rocket ascent up the digital sales charts.

MH4 is definitely one of those games you want with you all the time

 

[BLACK AMERICAN PSYCHO]

Vita LTD (Famitsu) - 1.755.885
MH4 (2 days) - 1.875.115

Goddamn.

Why does this surprise you?

 

[cafemomo]

Vita LTD (Famitsu) - 1.755.885
MH4 (2 days) - 1.875.115

Goddamn.

Wii U LTD - 1.067.899 MC

 

[StreetsAhead]

Why does this surprise you?

It's not surprising, per say, but it does provide a pretty decent comparison to how impressive a feat selling that amount of games in two days is because the numbers are close.

 

[Hero of Legend]

Why does this surprise you?

Would you believe at least one person claimed it would sell the same on Vita?

 

[ArtHands]

Most people (including me tbh) predicted around 250k, so nearly 300k is very good

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Vita LTD (Famitsu) - 1.755.885
MH4 (2 days) - 1.875.115

Goddamn.

Comparing SW to HW isn't exactly proving much.

That being said, a monster opening for a monster game.

It's not surprising, per say, but it does provide a pretty decent comparison to how impressive a feat selling that amount of games in two days is.

But remember, this is a piece of SW that is not as expensive as the HW so I find the comparison irrelevant.

Selling more in 2 days than the LTD of not just it's competitor, but the competitor so many are complaining that the game isn't on? That's not much?

Good for you.

 

[RM8]

It's nice to know Nintendo is indeed making money. It's all so doom-and-gloom-ish with WiiU's terrible situation, no one should be surprised that Nintendo treats 3DS like what it is - their main system. Thanks, MonHun

 

[KillerTravis]

My predictions were completely destroyed lol. Never participating in that again.

 

[B.O.O.M]

Vita LTD (Famitsu) - 1.755.885
MH4 (2 days) - 1.875.115

Goddamn.

Yeah hilarious...now expect a lot of similar comparisons once PS4/XBone comes out to WiiU

Can we all just be happy with the great numbers be done with it

 

[Instro]

Big numbers and it sounds like Capcom managed to under ship it too it they only got out 2m for the launch.

will be even worse if we compare vita software sales to mh4 software sales. P4G plus SS add up to what total sales again?

 

[Cipherr]

Massive... And they wanted how many by March shipped? 2.7m? They are going to crush that shipment number by the end of the holidays unless there's a cart shortage because of MH P&D and Pokemon dropping all at once in rapid succession.

Vita am cry

Well done you brought the Vita into a Monster Hunter thread. Only took 17 posts.

 

[flippedb]

Why are you so salty about it?

 

[Ratrat]

Woah!

 

[Pureauthor]

You can expect me to point at laugh at the Wii U when that happens as much as we point and laugh at the Vita comparison right now. No worries there.

Well done you brought the Vita into a Monster Hunter thread.

To be fair it was the Vita fans who started that trend.

 

[Brazil]

Don't take it personally, man.

 

[Dali]

And people say there's no such thing as a system seller.
