Capcom’s Executive Corporate Officer and Director Katsuhiko Ichii is very confident in the fourth numbered chapter of the Monster Hunter series, to be released in Japan exclusively for the 3DS on September the 14th
Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate has been discounted to $16.33 on 3DS and $19.79 on Wii U. Also on sale are Monster Hunter 4 ($28.99) as well as the upcoming Monster Hunter Generations ($31.99 for Amazon Prime members).
Check out a gallery of images for the epic-looking figure, designed by Final Fantasy's Tetsuya Nomura.
Monster Hunter X sold 1,542,104 units within its first two days of sale in Japan, according to a Famitsu report. The number includes retail copies, download cards, and the Monster Hunter X Special Pack. (It does not, however, include sales of the download version through the eShop.)
Additionally, 3DS hardware (including 3DS LL, New 3DS, and New 3DS LL) moved a total 133,628 units, compared to the previous week’s 33,203 units.
Here’s Monster Hunter X‘s launch numbers compared to previous big 3DS titles:
(Note: These are all according to Famitsu sales numbers.)
Pokemon X and Y – 2,096,050
Monster Hunter 4 – 1,875,115
Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate – 1,617,949
Monster Hunter X – 1,542,104
When Monster Hunter gets made for a non-Nintendo console I'll be more interested. I'd be much happier with a PS4/Xbone version with fully integrated online play.
They're gonna break sales records all right. No doubt about that.
This is Monster Hunter we're talking about. No one will be surprised when it sells well in Japan. It won't outsell the new Pokemon though, I'll bet on that.
I cant believe its only 3ds and pc
TRAITOR , U NO SONY LOVE ლ(ಠ益ಠლ)
Still wishing that we could get cross-platform save migration like with MH3U. I know a Wii U version will come, but I don't wanna wait for "eventually".
