Monster Hunter Portable 3rd on track to be Capcom's top-seller in 2010 fiscal year
11
Capcom has shipped another million copies of Monster Hunter Portable 3rd, bringing the total to four million since the game's December 1 release in Japan. It's not only the PSP's fastest-selling title ever, but looks to be Capcom's top-selling title of the 2010 fiscal year (ending Match 31, 2011). The publisher previously announced that the game had become the "fastest-selling game in Capcom's history," and according to the company, Monster Hunter series sales have now reached 17 million units sold.
Capcom has also noted that Monster Hunter Portable 3rd has reached the four million–shipped milestone in one month, a feat that took Monster Hunter Freedom Unite two years to achieve. Portable 3rd has yet to be announced for release outside of Japan.

This better be making its way outside of Japan, I've had to replace my water damaged PSP in anticipation of its release. Or else I have to buy a Japanese version of this game with outrageous shipping fees.

I just went with the cheaper Asian version (from Play-Asia) of the game. It's exactly the same as the JP version.
Also knowing Capcom's track record, it wont be here for another 6-7 months.

Good for em. The MH-esque games are certainly not my cup of tea, but I can't deny that it's what kept the PSP relevant in the market. Would be even better if people started buying more of the other good games out for the system, but I've learned to not expect much from the common man at this point.

You would think that with the sales outside of the US being huge that would warrant a US release even if its numbers would be predicted to be alot less here in the US.

Weren't there also rumors that MHP is "shifting" to the 3DS?

Quite a feat for a game that in it's very nature, is as un-casual as a game can possibly get.
I was hoping to see a PS3 version some day but I'm not holding my breath.

@Pure Black World Tendency I usually hate grinding for materials in video games, yet in Monster Hunter I find killing a boss over and over strangely, therapeutic. It's like practicing against the same character in a fighting game, get used to its patterns, etc. And the move set for each weapon has its beauty in simplicity and emphrasis on timing, unlike other action game's over complicated combos
