Well Alchemist already said they are working on Chiru for the PS3, and the PC version is not ugly. )<tehbear said:

Subtle.
Some fans are idiots. Big shock there.
...and? MH blew up bigstyle on the PSP and its mega-sales appear to be tied to it being a portable game. Tri did pretty damn well - even with the discounting that drove it over the million, it still sold a hell of a lot at full or almost-full price - and I doubt it would have done any better on any other home console. But LOLZ WII!111 all you want if it makes you feel better.

Back to square one, where I said "If they shipped 1.1m like Wii version, then 1.1m...". Changing the variables, who knows what would the outcome be.Laguna said:
Monster Hunter Wii did really well in the US and Europe, much better than any Monster Hunter game released in the west before it. Most likely because Nintendo had some great marketing campaigns and deals for the title(CE's, controller bundles etc.). It's a win-win situation for Capcom, sell Monster Hunter to a new audience(Wii owners/Nintendo fans), keep trucking with Monster Hunter 2-G PSP or whatever and launch Monster Hunter 3 PSP in time for the holiday season. Next step is Monster Hunter 3-G on PSP and perhaps 3DS.Travado said:
No explosive 'HD' development costs, little risk, incredible sales and happy monster hunting.
Now lets say someone like you ran Capcom, this would've probably happened.
E3 2008 Monster Hunter 3-HD Overdrive PS3 reveal epic trailer fest. US response: "OMG LOOK AT THE GRAFIX!" / JP response: *afk Playing Monster Hunter 2*
Game shown in Japan JP: "Yay <(^-^)>" / US: "Wut is this grinding shit lol? RPG's suck wtf"
At Capcom around early 2009: "Oh wow, this shit is really expensive to make, let's cut some content".
E3 2009: "Holiday 2009 release! BOOM!"
Released in US, Sony doesn't give a fuck about its release, gamers prefer COD and Fable. GAF calls it Monster Wanker because of animation bugs. Released in Japan, sold great but not as great as Monster Hunter 2G. Game obviously rushed not as much content as there was in Monster Hunter 2G. God Eater comes out on PSP, 'oh this is fun'. Capcom: "FUUUUUU" downports MH3 from PS3 to PSP, runs in many development troubles. Shitty outsourced Wii spin-off released because 'oh yeah lol' and it sells like shit.
And now Capcom is bankrupt because all you wanted to do was troll the Wii and have pretty graphics.

Chiru should be easy to produce since almost all the assets from the Question arcs should be usable. They'll basically just have to make some sprites for about 7 characters, slap in a couple of CGs, and script out the story in the engine for it. It'd be a big waste to produce all the sprites for the main reoccurring characters then not churn out an easy sequel.tehbear said:

Sorry, I have to jump in here. Are you dense? The US system is the only one that makes sense and corresponds to the way dates are said. It's always month first.
Today's date: December 23, 2010.
12/23/10
The day information is meaningless without knowing the month, that's why the Euro dating order is always incredibly confusing and aggravating. You have to look in the middle for the date to make any sense. The month is the most important information, followed by the day modifier. The year is the least important information (especially in a non-historical context like this) because it changes the least. You don't want every damn date to begin with "2010" before you reach the actual relevant information, so the Japanese system is retarded as well.

Today's date: 24th of December, 2010.
Nevermind that dates are an expression of a unit, a measurement, something scientific and calculable. Scaling in a linear fashion from largest to smallest or vice versa makes more sense than adhering to linguistic convention.

Eh? Over here I rarely hear anyone lead with the month - if they're talking about today, they would say "the 24th of December" or "24th December".
That aside, leading with the day, then month and year makes far more sense to me. I find date conventions that switch that around rather counterintuitive and confusing.

Probably doesn't mean shit since I'm also in the US but I agree with light.
Your example would probably have to be changed to:
The 24th of December, 2010.
Instead we say:
December 24th, 2010.
No 'the' no 'of's just the date. Im sure all of us are familiar with the fact that the US date system isnt the most widely used, but Ill be damned if it doesnt seem to make the most sense (in unison with the english language at least).

In the midst of the ways to keep track of time conversation comes a random sales fact!
Image epoch's CEO's blog yesterday post life-time sales of ARC RISE FANTASIA Budget edition have past the 25,000 mark.
Also Alchemist president(Umineko no Naku publisher) made another big commotion: by saying that ps3 game sales have been horrible this season, and it's because of psp(Monster hunter 3) and that psp is the reason Japan is falling behind in the world gaming sales.

The Last Story appeared yesterday on Comgnet charts with 20 points. It's #11 now with 25 points. Hopefully this is promising news for TLS sales...

Thats not how dates are said. You only assume that because that is how they are said where you have lived. From my experience no one says it like that. Everyone says 'the 23rd of december'. That isn't an argument however. Just because you are used to something doesn't make it right. To me thats basically the same as people who say that people from the US don't have accents.
To me your whole argument is flawed even if the end result is correct. You have started from the assumption that month, day, year is correct and you have then started to look for ways to prove that assumption to be true.
Dr. Light said:
In this context isn't the month useless without the day? In order to know what period your talking about you need the day and month.
Dr. Light said:
Isn't your system wrong using the very logic you used to support it? You said the year goes last because it changes the least and is therefore the least important. Well the month changes far less often then the day so therefore shouldn't it go dd/mm/yy?
In my personal opinion i prefer the day first. Simply because the month and year rarely change so i always know what month and year it is. The days change often so it easy to forget.
In the end though i think it comes down to personal opinion. Calling someone else dense (or high) for disagreeing with you is just unnecessary and in the end you're the one who comes out looking stupid because of it.
Edit: In the end i prefer looking at the week anyway. It is so easy to compare to previous years if you just look at what week it is.
For NPD i prefer to look at the month because they only release data monthly.

It corresponds directly with how Americans verbally say dates. "December 19th, 2010."
This saves you a syllable when compared to "19th of December, 2010". We Americans like our shortcuts.
It also looks better when you're organizing dates chronilogically.

The point is that retailers obviously wouldn´t have ordered that many because of lack of confidence towards the platform, due to bad hardware sales (especially pre slim) and the glorified best sellers at the time sold 300k-500k at best with the only exception beeing MGS4 selling a little more and with no million seller on the system at the time.
Just take a look at the charts, what do you see there? As a new console owner you aren´t obligated to buy new releases and to ignore what got released before you know.bladoftheimmortal said:
