You already knew that theMonster Hunterseries is big in Japan, but now it’s the biggest as far as the PSP is concerned.
Capcom has announced thatMonster Hunter Freedom Unite(orMonster Hunter Portable 2nd G) has hit the 3.5 million sold mark in Japan, making it the only PSP game to hit that sales mark. The game originally hit the Japanese stores last year to see huge sales, but has since gone on to be repacked as one of their “PSP the Best” games, adding another 1 million to last year’s totals.
I don’t think they’re done here, though. As you know, the US version,Monster Hunter Freedom Unite, has just shipped. Both Nick and I are playing it for an upcoming Destructoid review now. It may not be as big here as it is in Japan, but I think that in the long run, the title will continue to break records.
