Okay so...
[360] 302K
[PS3] ~201K - 249K..."very close to 250K?"
[3DS] ~151K - 199K..."~190K?"
[DS] ~101K - 149K
[WII] ~51K - 99K..."above 80K?"
[WIU] ~66K
[PSV] ~38K
[PSP] ~1K - ~9K..."above 8K?"
Wii + Wii U + PS3 = 435K
Wii + DS + 3DS + Wii U = 455K
PSV + PSP + PS3 + PS2 (negligible) = Less than 302K

Just want to be clear, is it 100k sold lifetime so far in America or did they actually sold that much last month? (leaning towards the former
)Yes Capcom basically says this:

the latter is definitely impossible.
That's normal, but it does give us more data points. Thanks!
So, 117K + 0.19*3DS > Sly Cooper.
Okay, so Sly Cooper < 153K.
If those are the only ones to cross 100k, I'm just now realizing how poorly MH3U is going to do on Wii U next month. There just aren't enough systems out there owned by MH fans and it's gonna be like 20k or less.
Yeah, that's what I thought. What a shame...
This is so fucking depressing. Have any third party Wii U games sold 200k or more? I can't imagine any of the third parties are happy with the sales of their games on Wii U.

Damn, even with the new game bundle/color 3DS couldn't break 200k this month?
I don't get it.
If Xbox 360 = 302K and is 41% of the market, then we get that the total market is about 737K. Remove the Xbox 360 and that leaves 435K for the other three systems.
But Wii U is 66K. And Wii is less than 100K. And PS3 is less than 250K.
At most that leaves a 20K gap and I don't see how to fill it.
66K + 100K + 250K = 416K at most...
Am I missing something?

So is the 3DS 190K estimate decent? Or would that be considered poor?
The market has changed so much here. Halo pioneered the charge, coupled with Gears and in last few years CoD. Besides your annual sports and dance games, anything that doesn't have guns and/or isn't distinctly Westernised will do badly. There are only a few exception.
At least Sonic games are still doing good on Nintendo consoles!

That sucks
Can it be interpreted as revenue? I'm guessing not.

3DS version to the rescue!!!
Kevin Dent thought it was a really nice increase over January, even if it's behind Feburary 2012.
Well, for NPD, the bundle comes with a copy of the game in a physical media. It doesn't matter if that media is a DVD, UMD, memory card, HD or flash memory.
Maybe if the bundle came only with a download code, NPD wouldn't count it?
the bundle wasn't particularly good- essentially $10 off. plus, it's fire emblem, which hasn't ever been a system-seller outside of japan. a pokemon bundle for x/y or an animal crossing bundle probably would have increased yoy sales.
I don't believe we have an example of Microsoft using revenue previously.
So if this is set in stone, then I guess Sly didn't do too terribly in the end then. Hopefully the game has some legs...

Because all the MH fans will be buying a Wii U in March...right?
Couldn't it alternatively be.
Retail 117k
Bundle 22k
Digtal 41k
Total - 180k
Sly > 117k <139k?
Depending on what Nintendo is counting as retail and digital.

Yeh, I noted the same. Even taking 41.4%, doesn't sum right.
3DS version to the rescue..! Of maybe giving MH3U 80k between both platforms.
NO HOPE.
NO FUTURE.
NO MH4.
We know that FE sold 63k digitally so no, it can't be this
Last year their numbers didn't line up on unit basis
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=47732282&postcount=117
But you don't know if Nintendo is counting the game as a digital sale, given its not on a cart.
If MH4 doesn't come to North America I will rage so hard.3DS version to the rescue..! Of maybe giving MH3U 80k between both platforms.

PS2 leftovers to make up the difference?

MH4 has online for the 3DS version too, it must come over, no excuses.

What about Sly Cooper digital sale?
Wii U ver. will sell more than 3DS over here I think. Online play is big for us while handhelds are not.
I hope.

I think they have used revenue, but only when their unit share didn't keep their streak.
Their unit share would be higher than 41% given the info we're getting.

Numbers don't match unless MS had a marketshare slighlty over 42%...but then why would they report they had 41%?
Still I think that the problem is on MS' side, creamsugar knows what he's posting considering he has the numbers.
PS3 should be really close to 250k anyway.

I have played every US MH release with the same friends since MH on PS2's original release and now I have to play MH3G solo or with randoms, so yeah, it sucks. I could probably at least push a couple copies if the 3DS version had online, though.
Will likely appear on PS+ since its a Sony game. Even if it does terrible sales, there's still a slight purpose for it, to make PS+ service more attractive with retail games.
Not possible to know until Sony says something, and I think we can all spare ourselves from betting on Sony saying anything nearly that specific.

It might just come out on another platform...If MH4 doesn't come to North America I will rage so hard.
I feel like at this rate developers and publishers should start lowering their expected sales goals and how much they invest into these games and projects. At least until the market looks to be expanding in a positive manner that would warrant a stronger focus and heavier investment.

Naw, if Bandai's willing to bring over Naruto SD and Project X Zone, they'll bring over anything.
