Silent Intent

@Silent Intent On the flip side, I'll be pissed if it's anything like Wii Music.

I approve of every single bit of this. Thanks, Miyamoto; now I have a big stupid grin on my face just thinking about this.

@Th3commoncold And how old are those consoles that are around the same price? Exactly.

Ouch! Hopefully, the Vita will pick up steam pretty soon. Does anyone happen to know if there's any upcoming software that can turn this around?

Meanwhile, I don't think anyone should glance over the fact that the 3DS just outsold everything combined in the same week. Has that happened before?

@Gordfacekiller Xenoblade?

D'awwwww...

@Pure Black World Tendency More people in Japan own a PSP rather than a 3DS, correct? Then, of course, this game won't sell as much if it were on the PSP. That's why I compared it to Freedom, since the PSP had a small install base, as well.

People will buy a 3DS for this game alone, I'll give you that, but there are other factors as to why it's not posting big numbers:

--The big reason is because Capcom provided small shipments of the game (around 400k, last I checked)
--People tend to be more excited about a main installment in the series; Tri G is an enhanced port, albeit, one of a very popular series.

@Pure Black World Tendency This isn't a failure...

Tri G is the 3DS' first Monster Hunter game.
MHP3rd is the PSP's fourth Monster Hunter.

Tell me, why didn't you compare Tri G to Freedom which, y'know, released when the PSP was in its infancy.

@jph89 It's an expansion of it. More monsters, more weapons, Street Pass support, local online, etc. Here's a great thread from Neogaf that explains it all:

@Courtney Nope. I'm asking journalists to become clearer and more precise with what Miyamoto wants, rather than crafting vague titles to stir confusion and excitement. They know he doesn't really want to retire, but by including it in the title, it brings in a lot more hits. More hits->more cash...

By the way, the actual situation isn't "Miyamoto is retiring"; I think he's being misunderstood. I believe he planned on transitioning from being an overseer to developing games on a smaller, personal level, which Nintendo, apparently, does not want.

You, on the other hand, blame Miyamoto for effectively and directly using the word "retiring"...which, as I said, never happened.
