E3 seems like the last date that we could hear about it. If the localization takes as long as Tri's, it will be just a few months until release by then.

It's a little hard to tell what's bad and what's good right now because there's so many ways to look at it. The actual sales of Tri G are millions below Freedom Unite and Portable 3rd. But it's also sold better than any console Monster Hunter and the original PSP game, Freedom.

Looking at US sales numbers, every game has done a little better than the last, about 100,000 more sales each time. But if someone decided to look at a sales ratio instead, they'd find that the console games sell 40-50% (increasing) of what they do in Japan while the portable games are only 10-20% (decreasing). Using a ratio, someone could predict that Tri G would do as badly in the US as the original PS2 game.

At any rate, it's done better than Capcom's expectations.
