So far 310000 preorders for MH3G and 100,000 3DS selling per week in Japan with those numbers exspected to keep going up until and after the release of 3G. Monster hunter HD only sold 287829 in it's first week and not much after I believe, Tri sold 500,000 in it's first week and 3G is likely to beat that. Not sure about the other games but anyways. 3G and the 3DS seem to be strong in Japan and Nintendo is now saying that the 3DS in its first 8 months in the US (probably in part due to the price drop) is already selling better than the DS did in it's first year. I wonder if the great response for the 3DS and 3G from the market in Japan so far will influence Capcom and Nintendo in their thought in releasing 3G outside of Japan since it seems (in my opinion anyways) that how well a game does in Japan usually makes game and system makers think it will or will not do well in the west. What do you all think?
