That's Japan. EVERY videogame console (except Xbox 360 lolfail) does exceptionally well in Japan. Especially when it's by a Japanese developer. I can't really consider it a "hit" if it's only performing well in one part of the world. Now the PS2, THAT was a hit. Even still, 3DS is not the right system for MH, and I know Capcom doesn't care because it'll make them money, but then, why the hell wouldn't the NGP, given how the PSP sells like crack over there and whatnot.
