@ Hoffmole:
In Others are many people who hacked their Wii and download Copys of the Games and don't buy them. Because of that many Games sell so bad. :o(

You got to remember that Others is usually land-of-the-casual for Wii games. If those Others figures are correct I'd say amazing numbers. Most "core" 3rd party wii games sell awful in others and are saved from total fail by America.

Good 1st week in NA although I was expecting more from Others. Unless the supply was low but they should know to get good Wii games online by now. Absolutely love this game and it was able to pull me away from my BFBC2 addiction. Now I can't stop playing it and already dreaming of the sequel!!

@bmmb1
we'll see, actually I think too 70k seems high for it, but I'm confident in a drop smaller than 50% (55k) in the US...speaking of Europe probably it'll sell the same there, 7 full days and the same reasons I listened before should prevent it to sell less than 50k. Actually over 100k in its 2nd week in west IMHO would be great!
Message | Report
bmmb1 posted 29/04/2010, 03:22
@guiduc - it released on the same day as all other Wii games in EU, so regardless of the numbers next week, having sold "one day" would not be the reason.

@Buzzi - if i had to chose between oni-link's and your numbers, I would go with his, as this is the type of game that, Wii or no Wii, is more front loaded. That said, I expect numbers to be actually somewhere in the middle between yours and his.

@oni-link
You expect just 20k next week in Americas? No way, it'll surely sell more than 50k, it's a Wii game, huge drop-off are not common and not sharp, plus this is a game a lot of people didn't know so word of mouth is important and reviews too...not to forget the great marketing! I think 70k next week is not out of the question.
Message | Report
oni-link posted 29/04/2010, 09:26
hmm...I expect it to be a bit undertracked in the Americas. It is litterally sold out in most areas and even amazon was out of this for a while. I'm still sticking with my 140K for it's FW sales and 160K for the month. I guess we will have to wait until NPD releases their numbers which VGC should be higher because it takes into account Canada, Mexico, and other retailers that NPD doesn't take into account.

It happened also with The Conduit, but this time it's different. We've a great game from a third party with a great online and great graphic. The Conduit was just an hyped game. If this sells well in the west third party won't have excuses to say that they can't sell anything that's not copied by Nintendo games...and to have more support from Capcom would be great for us!

Amazon keeps "selling out" of the Bundle pre-orders. I dont know if that means anything, but perhap Amazon was set to buy a certain amount of copies, only to find that the preoreders are much stronger.

Oh, and MOnster Hunter 3 was heavily advertised in the new South Park episode. I can only expect to see more ads by the time the game is released. The marketing power of Nintendo is revealed.

I would say this game has a shot at having a 1 million opening week (when combined with the Japanese release). Americas preorders will reach 80-90k prior to release with the opening week around 125k. I hope it is way more than that. Europe should be also counted as 100-150k opening week too.

With the current preorders it looks to track in at 70K to 80K in week one. However it still has 4 more weeks to go so maybe it could get a bump and get a week one release of 100-110K which would make it one of the best 3rd party release on the Wii in a looong time. Pre-orders currently are at 38K units and looking at the week one it always seems to double that of the pre-order.

850K in all other territories within a year? I think your being too generous, but its definitely possible considering that Nintendo is running the marketing campaigns in NA. I say 400K -600K in Americas + Other in a year, depending on the strength of the ads.

The first Monster Hunter on the PSP sold just over 130k in its first week and went on to sell 1.4million overall

Looking at the chartz you can always see a monster Hunter game for the PSP hovering around the 20k mark

I believe that MH3 will continue that trend of selling well over a period of time not forgetting that this game recieved a perfect score from famitsu.

Other and Americas also cannot be forgotten considering that Unlike Japan where the PSP outnumbers the Wii 3-2
Outside of Japan the Wii outnumbers the PSP 7-6
Based on the sales of past games 27% of Monster Hunter sales for the PSP occur outside of Japan
Takes Into account the difference in PSP to Wii ratio
(7/6 divided by 2/3) times 27%
and that percentage rises to 47%
So if this game sells 1.06million in Japan it should be able to reach 2million easily

This game will take time to build up a fanbase after the poor monster hunter entries for the PS2

The first Monster Hunter game of the PSP sold at a much slower rate and while the Series has grown in popularity since then it has been on the handhelds.

Give it time and it will surpass 2 million at least

And dont forget that this was originally for the PS3 and so far its outsold the PS3's best selling game MGS4 at 0.68 million copies
compared to MH3 at 0.83 million so far.

To many monster Hunter on the protable's will saturate the market and result in lower sales overall

lets wait for the legs to appear then we'll see the impact. Lets not forget ti series is established on handhelds so it needs time and legs to establish itself on consoles. lets wait before we judge

For someone that thought MH3 got lesser monsters than other in the series, you gotta see this.

http://www.inwmonhunt.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=443&pid=3409&st=0&#entry3409

And learn than Capcom keep add monster in to the game every year.(This also happen with weapon type.)

So i beleived that this thing will happen to MH3 too, just wait and see.

Maybe my expectations were and are too high, but with the huge marketing done for the game and his name, one of the biggest in Japan (even without the psp games) I tought it would have done better, especially with all the bundles...if it ends up with legs similar to DQIX it will do very good, we will see...

77 k from the preview in my opinion is terrible: isn't obon week? The one of WSR + 40k and tomodachi +20 k from the previous week? Weren't there price cut for the game alone? And just 70-80k?

I think about 60k-90k minimum, since CC pro bundle shipped i want to see it sell more than 100k too.But since they discount MH3, i'm not sure how many ppl can wait till it comeout.
Maybe they bought MH3 and CC pro seperately already.

I hope Japan can deliver 1.5m to 4m sold of this game and the rest of the world 500k to 1m together. Then we would have one of the best selling core games on Wii.

And on another note, is this what all core gamers have waited for in Japan? Will they buy Final Fantasy: CC or was Monster Hunter Tri it for them? Any other games they might like coming out on Wii?

Opening of 582k in Japan according to famitsu

Not as good as Monster hunter 2 and freedom unite for the PSP but

Its relatively new to the console

PSP has 1.5 times the install base in Japan

The previous entries have not been well recieved on home consoles

My guess is that it will have good legs and best the best selling monster hunter game outside of Japan

@KichiVerde, I doubt this will ever eclipse M&S at the Olympic Games (the best selling 3rd Party Game on the Wii btw) which is over 7mln WW. It has a snowball's chance in hell at doing more than GHII (currently at 4.26mln) if it takes off in not only Japan but also NA and Others (which I hope it does).

This game will not be the wii's largest 3rd party game. Do you even know how many units the best selling third party game on the wii has sold? Maybe you should take a look, and see if you still feel the same about it.

Best selling capcom game on the wii is a more realistic prediction.

I know America and Others do buy Monster Hunter but like dragon quest its all about Japan

OK JTurner82 I will admit that when it comes to third party games the Wii falls short of PS3 and Xbox360 for most releases.

But comparing the Wii's third party sales to that of the PSP and tell me you dont think Monster Hunter will sell.

Monster Hunter (along with Dragon quest 10) will drive sales for the Wii right up.

Not to sound pessimistic or anything, but I think this title is going to bomb. Terribly. Core games can't sell, and MH will never, ever, ever, ever find an audience on Wii. No matter what Nintendo or Capcom does, it is going to bomb. BOMB.

Actually, I don't really think that, but I AM getting annoyed at people calling games "bombs" just because they didn't sell as much. They're not "failures", by any means, just modest. I think this game will turn the tide for core gamers on Wii.
