Monster Hunter Portable 3 ships 4 million

I heard the US version of this will come out on...around August? or September... I CAN'T WAIT THAT LONG!!!! But...It worth is cause its such a bad-a$$ game after all~

I'll wait for it to come out on the NGP, thankyouverymuch.

they need to make a monster hunter on the 3ds

@vgdude887 That's what I'm wondering, I mean 1.5 million sounds like a success by most standards. It wasn't 5+ million like RE5, but that's a decent amount. I think the problem there (aside from annoyances with leveling up, responsiveness issues and cheap deaths) is that you basically HAD to have a full party of people who knew what they were doing in Lost Planet 2, and it's hard to get ahold of 3 other people who can cooperate well. Like another poster mentioned, it focuses on cooperation. It's a thing of beauty when it works well, but a lot of the time it doesn't, and that's when you feel stabby.

Must have MHP3rd

Hey, it's cool that Capcom is profiting a large margin off MHP 3 and that's in Japan alone.. but could we get an english version already? What's going on?

@OJdaLIONKing 1.5 million is not good sales for a game? Is Capcom trying to be like Namco now or something?

"Who says PSP games don't sell?" Outside of Japan, they don't.

MH is so awesome because it encourages (and requires) a deep rooted cultural phenomenon called "cooperation" with three other players. That element of cooperation tied with the themes of defeating large monsters that are destroying the landscape, and creating cool looking armors and devastatingly large weapons to eliminate those monsters is what's so addicting. The portable series just manages to take all of what makes the console series (since the PS2) so popular and effectively "shrunk" it onto the PSP. It's an experience that should be tried by all and decided by yourselves. This is one series most Western critics missed completely (until MH3 on the Wii). Also in Japan, TV Tokyo just piloted a TV show about Monster Hunter shown late night which I documented briefly (check MHP3rd forums on GS for more info if you're interested).

Gotta love Capcom.

come to the us my next MH!

MH to capcom is like COD to activision except it is fun and not milked. go Capcom!

People for the Ethical Treament of Monsters (PETM) will not like this

@kevindudedafa because they haven't released it on the PS3 or 360 here... I'd buy that s*** so quickly!

Mon-Hun on NGP cant wait its going to be nuts!

PC wsectio what' wrong with you GS!??!?

It's a sad show of how different the Japanese and Western markets have grown when Monster Hunter does so phenomenally well there and bombs here. Similarly, Lost Planet 2 was basically Monster Hunter with guns and it bombed, relatively speaking. I guess it must have had a big budget for 1.5 million units to be considered a failure.

Gee, monster hunter sure is popular in Japan. I wonder why the "western" world don't like it as much...

Whats with the overkill of giant sized weapons...

Lost Planet 2=Garbage

Impressive sales, I guess, but right now I'm more concerned with when does it come state-side??

At least in Japan it sells, Gamespot!

@votc200,,,4 millions Only on Japan :P

That's pretty impressive, for it being a PSP game.

Soon on NGP :P
