Big in Japan December 6-12: Monster Hunter Portable 3

yes!!! this is cool I really cant wait to paly MHP3 on my psp. That game is soo much fun and im excited for the return of the other wepons like in the old ones.

i see the going is still tough for the x360 in Japan, kinect ant help much as i thought

@anomaly3001 what about america? halo and cod..........thats a ton of variety just there

japan always gets the good games.

Why does the Nintendo DS logo flash at the end of the video?

Japan lucky to have Monster Hunter. That game is pure skill. I see alot of gamers trash talk the series but they just don't get it. Why is Monster Hunter so popular in japan. Its a social game. young and old can play it at their own pace. Its all about helping each other and having fun. Many gamers can't even play single player games. They only play multiplayer. So that type of gamer is casual. Monster Hunter has solo play too. gamers that love to brag on themselves and have a short attention span, Will always and forever hate anything they are not good at. Millions of japanese gamers love this game. And I'm supose to believe a couple of village idiots!!!???!! So when i read any blogg stating negative comments about Monster Hunter. It just shows me that not everyone is a true gamer. Monster Hunter Fans are the smartest gamers out there. The game is too hard for the weak minded. It tailored for you to discover fighting tactics and items for use while hunting. Too many games spoon feed you on what to do. Monster Hunter doesn't. Someone would have 3 games in thier collection and all of a sudden they think "I'm the worlds best gamer and I know the truth about whats good and bad with games. If i hate a game, guess what? I don't play it or comment on it. I move onto the next.

where is dah 360 sales ??

This game OWNS!! I've spent more hours on Monster Hunter than all GoW games combined. I haven't played Ghost of Sparta yet though.

Japan loves their Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii's ( craps) )))))))))))))))))))))))

Sweet a new tales game *taps foot waiting for NA release*

God damnit! I wanna play me some MH3!! :o

Japan loves their monsters.

Japanese gamers seem to like the same ol stuff over and over again!

PSP and monster sex. yay.

It's funny, even the Japanese realize what a waste the Go is.

I agree w/ itsTolkien_time. Japanese gamers/consumers are the most eccentric out there. And that isn't exactly a compliment. It's almost like the "tackier and sillier" the better. Monster Hunter really?!

Dang, Japan still swallows up Monster Hunter like it's some sort of godly ambrosia. I guess I will never understand why this happens for every release. And handhelds fly of the shelves. Over 129,000 DSs and almost 160,000 PSPs. Compare that to the less than 127,000 home consoles sold that week. Handhelds double that and more!

maaan i wish they included dual wielding in MH Tri. Hopefully in the next console addition... or possibly if they get one for the 3DS.

@OGKNav i hear yeah! the MH games are awsome and who cares where the game was made if its good then play it. Like MH.

As usual, nintendo on top for the holidays.

3 cheers for super mario all-stars!!!

Japanese people love grinding

Japan is in sharp contrast to the rest of the world although i like this one better!

I'm glad Monster Hunter has been getting the respect it deserves SOMEWHERE on earth, for the past few years. Western gamers are so biased now-a-days, it's not even funny anymore.

@ wiisdual ,, ,a survey does not mean nothing , so what if they think its too expensive, but what about apples ipod and ipad , arent those more expensive fact is 3ds will be the newest handheld on the market when it comes out no competition will be there, and japan will buy it why cause it is nintendo and 300 is not that expensive if it was boy why is ps3 selling , huh oh wait it fell to 5th place this week , but it was doing good til now , point is, 300 is not as expensive as 2000-3000 - the price of 3d tvs plus a 30 0 ps3 , and its glasses free to so ya i dont call that expensive

Never thought I would see the PSP on top

poor 360 shunned again. if i were ms ied pull out of japan asap

Not a bad start for Ninokuni.

Checked nintendolife and they said Mario Party 2 will come this Monday for NA and Friday for Europeans. HURRAY. Buy your cards and start a party of 4.

NIce. A survey revealed that Japanese gamer's think that 3DS is way too expensive and only half know of it. Probably the reason of that is here / 3DS may not sell well in Japan. 150,000 and 300,000 in the one of the past weeks.

@Oldboy08 It depends on how big the game is. Usually big titles (Uncharted, Killzone, LBP) are localized here in Japan. If it's something more specific that would only service Western gamers, you may want to import it or find an import game shop since PS3 is region free. I personally only buy the AAA Western games. :)

bring monster hunter portable 3 to the us and ill buy a new psp

i hope when im in Japan, they still release all the western games, because 2011 is gonna be a huge year for PS3 gaming and im not sure how many will come to Japan, im hoping all of them...:D

I would really like to see that tales of game released here in the states.

@SolidTy And it's in its second week. Don't forget the first week MHP3 was released in Japan in sold over 1.95million!

PSP sales seem very good.

Pokemon Black and White still on the top 10 ,amazing cant wait till it it comes to America.

[This message was deleted at the request of the original poster]

I'm amazed at Pokemon Black and White. It's sold almost 5 million, in JAPAN ALONE! That's almost 4% of the population. I can't imagine how much it will sell when it hits our shores.... it looks . The PSP performs way better in Japan than here. The Japanese like quick,enaging gaming, while Americans like huge, cinematic games. AKA consoles.

Its great to Donkey kong country returns sell well, that games a masterpiece! Damn black and white is STILL selling? cant blame them, it IS pokemon and it IS japan

yea wat he said!!

Looking forward to some more Monster Hunting. Too bad localisation takes forever...

pretty cool western games are makin it over in Japan

it's nice to see a western developed game crack the top ten in japan
