It isn't "killing" the competition if the competition is other 3DS games: the Mario games are doing a little bit better. It isn't killing the competition in terms of weekly sales either. But it's selling well in the long-term, outselling Tri, and outselling the Monster Hunter's PSP debut (Freedom), and seems to be extremely close to Capcom's predictions.

The question is, will Capcom of America look at this and see a game selling extremely well on a new platform, or will they see a game that failed to reach the numbers of Freedom Unite and Portable 3rd? Tri reached numbers similar to the Japanese ones, but that had online, and it isn't one of the more popular games in Japan.
