Why is Monster Hunter so big in Japan, but not so in United States?

[QUOTE="silversix_"]The real question is, why da **** there isn't any MH games on ps360? MHTri is on the casual platform and i don't see a casual grinding hours to get his boots upgraded. Make it ps3 exclusive (to have the best possible graphics) or ps360 and it'll sell tones (over 1million me think).silversix_

MHTri already sold 2m, so HA!

Those 2 million probably made Cacpcom more money than 4 million (That's a wild dream on the PS3 if PS2 sales are anything to go by) on the PS3 would, it's either you get the full game on the Wii or get part of the game on the PS3 and pay for DLC for the rest of the games life (They need to make back all that money they blew putting it on the PS3 somehow). MH on the 360 is still struggling to even reach 300,000 sales, Cacpcom cares about profits first and your enjoyment second. The Wii has the largest fanbase and the lowest dev costs which means the most money can be made vs the PS3 with a smaller fanbase and huuuuuuge dev costs for a potential sales flop of epic proportions (Every MH on the PS2 was a sales flop they where lucky if they broke 700,000, was the PS2 a casual console like you say the Wii is). Like it or not MHTri was a complete success on the Wii, for the first time Capcom where able to achieve PSP like sales on a home console for MH. MHTri is the most played online game on the Wii, it beat out Nintendo's own 1st Party online games like MKWii which is no small feat, just because you don't like the Wii is no reason to shoot it down because it got a MH game and the PS3 didn't. Will you start shooting down the 3DS if it gets a MH game and the NGP doesn't.
