Capcom must be ecstatic after the shipments for Monster Hunter 3G hit 1 million. It seems like the title has done enough to boost the 3DS sales till Monster Hunter 4 arrives on the system.

“Monster Hunter” is a series of hunting action games in which players go up against enormous monsters against a backdrop of spectacular scenery.

Playing the game by using communications to cooperate with friends to fight powerful monsters has created a new style of communicating that sparked a social event called the “Monster Hunter craze”.

Capcom also mentioned that they are looking at a multi-platform strategy which means the game could be headed to the Vita.

Based on its multi-platform strategy, Capcom will continue to perform research involving new types of hardware in order to maximize earnings. Through these activities, Capcom aims to supply games that can achieve a high degree of satisfaction among a diverse spectrum of users around the world.

Tell us what you think in the comments section below.

Nintendo should be pretty pleased with 3DS’ performance, as it has sold as much as it did on launch in Japan. There is a reason for these sales – Monster Hunter 3G.

Famitsu reports that Monster Hunter 3G sold more than 471k units in 2 days. Capcom knew this franchise was huge, and put it on a system that was going to be on the stands during the holidays.

This also boosted the 3DS sales. It sold 371k, which is a lot more compared to what it launched earlier.

3DS has a smaller install base this time around, so Monster Hunter is expected to not post gigantic numbers like the it did on the PSP. But we may see it do decently in a few years.

Monster Hunter 4 will be available on the 3DS as well, and it is exclusive to the sytem. So expect some massive damage to the charts.

Thanks, Andriasang.
