And it outsold all its clones in the vita just like that ~_^

Didn't they dump all their MH4 profits into their mobile division (which hasn't done well AFAIK)?

I'd say about the same but its pretty tops if you loved 4U.IS it good /better then Monster Hunter 4?
I'd be interested in picking this up if it gets localized.
So that means Monster Hunter X G in winter next year overseas, right?
Which "clones" are you talking about here? (with the exception of Toukiden)
God Eater, Soul Sacrifice, Lord of Apocalypse, Ragnarok Odyssey and Phantasy Star Nova?
You meant Monster Hunter NX.Looking forward to when XG finally comes out Stateside in 2017.
Verendus hinted the franchise is coming back to Sony platforms. Dunno if more spinoffs or an official mainline one.So Nintendo has its exclusive Street fighter of its own? ;p

The franchise never left Sony systems, Frontier is available on all 3 current systems.Verendus hinted the franchise is coming back to Sony platforms. Dunno if more spinoffs or an official mainline one.
it changes position every gen though. I would think we'll see changes again during NX release.
Nah. If there is ever a Monster Hunter on the NX, it'll be the fifth gen. The upgraded version of the 3DS game is just going to be another 3DS game, with G-Rank added. Just like Monster Hunter 4.
True...The franchise never left Sony systems, Frontier is available on all 3 current systems.
And yeah , Verendus says a lot of things that can't possibly be verified in a short timeframe and if things don't work out as described, he can hide behind the "plans changed !" excuse.
We already know that Frontier 2 is in development for PS4 and PC.
God Eater, Soul Sacrifice, Lord of Apocalypse, Ragnarok Odyssey and Phantasy Star Nova?
That would mean no more 3 million PRs.Verendus hinted the franchise is coming back to Sony platforms. Dunno if more spinoffs or an official mainline one.

Did you play any of those games? Inspired sure, but none of those are "clones". Especially Soul Sacrifice, it has almost nothing in common with MH except you hunt bosses in both.
After seeing these numbers, I'm unsure of two things:
1. How did Capcom get is such a financially fragile state? Monster Hunter has been raking it in now on both the PSP and 3DS, last gen RE games sold pretty well, and SFIV must made them a quite a bit of money across arcade, home consoles and 3DS (which was the 3DS' first million seller iirc). I know GRIN's Bionic Commando, and Dark Void probably lost money overall, but those alone don't explain how Capcom got in the shit.
2. Why aren't there more Hunting-Action games on 3DS? MH3G was announced in September 2011, released later that year and clearly showed that the market was there. Surely there is a gap in the market for games similar to MH on the 3DS in the period between MH launches?

2. Other hunting games don't do as nearly as good as mh itself. I think there was a rumor about a 3ds port for God Eater, but it was canceled. If mh is on the system, why bother with games that aren't nearly as good as mh? And it's not just the genre but the franchise that drives the sales. Same reason not every fps does cod numbers.
