you seem suprised??? check out the monster hunter 2 portable version for psp and you will realise just how many fans it has.

i think it was a bad move for them to cancel the ps3 version and switch to wii development. look how that turned out lol nearly half the people wont buy it!

did you see the sales of the PSP when it got the most recent Monster Hunter game?

there are fans.......trust me. Now why there are fans, I have no idea. Japan loves to play the DS games like Ninten Dogs and Pimp my House so I really don't take that market seriously anyways.

no just 47% angry ps3 fans :lol:

The previous games on consoles didn't do all that well , they seem to like their Monster Hunting in portable form a lot more. It is just wait and see how it does on the Wii , I am sure it will do well though.

*shrug* It's from the guys who bought the latest version the the Playstation Portable.

lol that could be true. but also the wii isnt really worth buying since it only has a few killer games i.e mario. i wouldnt buy a whole new wii just for monster hunter.

where as if they kept development on ps3 im pretty sure this game would have sold well because the ps3 has many other great games on offer too i.e. mgs4!

to be honest, if you are a fan of that game, there is no reason for not buying it !

More than likely yes. Chances are if they have a PSP since this is MH 2G fans then they are Sony fans. I think a lot of them will buy a Wii just for Monster Hunter that's how big it is there.

it should be on Xbox 360 and PS3 and PC.

Xbox 360 and PC for the large amount of online users and western marketshare and PS3 for the large fanbase in Japan.

You know why people would mention the small sample size? Because there's a small sample size.

Seriously, that survey has responses from less than 1,000 people, and you expect us to take it as representative of the entire population of Japan?

MH2G fans, are Playstation fans, I am willing to bet they dont like the Wii, or even the console version of Monster Hunter.

Monster Hunter Dos (2) didnt sell nearly as well as the PSP version of Monster Hunter Portable. They might buy a Wii, but not as much as you want to believe.

The survey was created yesterday, so its not going to have alot of respondents.

How do you know that's only MH Fans that voted?

I mean look at how 30% of "fans" that actually have a wii say they aren't planning on getting MH3. doesn't seem like fans to me.

eh, I just thought it was interesting, since it was on Yahoo Japan.

Honestly, though, I don't think Monster Hunter 3 will be a huge factor.

I already disputed the validity of the survey, so take this with a grain of salt, but another thing to note in it is that a pretty sizeable group has a Wii, but won't be getting the game. Why is that?

From what I've heard about the Monster Hunter phenomenon in Japan, a lot of the appeal of the game is in local group play. People get together with the game and adventure together with their characters. It's a communal experience (kinda like trading Pokemon, in a way). But if the game is on consoles, you can't have those get-togethers in the same way. As a result, any console Monster Hunter will be less successful than a portable one, at least in Japan.

100% = 100 million people.

53% = 53 million people buying the game.

Best selling game ever?

if you say many other games you should list more than one game.

What I gather from "Don't own a Wii, aint buyin the game" is they are not buying the game because they don't own a wii. Why would you buy a game for a console you don't have?

[QUOTE="nyoroism"]Monster Hunter has fans?supercubedude64

Every single person in Japan likes monster hunter.

and so do i :D People complain about the camera, but its all part of the gameplay...i luv those games :D

Even the small polling data aside, keep this in mind

46% say they will not buy a Wii and Monster Hunter

30% say they own a Wii and will not buy Monster Hunter

Isn't that possible that 76% of the people simply don't like Monster Hunter. I know its a successful franchise over there but I think that's a possibility.

EDIT: Also how can you can prove the respondents were Monster Hunter 2 players, I think if I had a yahoo account, I could probably submit an answer to this poll

Actually, the series has only been big on the PSP. The two PS2 games didn't sell to hot. Now, if monster Hunter was released on the DS, that would be epic.

I'm predicting an eventual port to the PSP anyway.

First of all.. are they ALL MH fans?
Second of all.. "I don't have Wii, and not going to buy MH3"
They could be surveying business men and the elderly for all we know.

The chances of them being PS3 fans sounds likely then. Especially if they're avid Sony fans, which I wouldn't be too surprised by.
