Just the other day, Square Enix released a report on their top franchises' lifetime sales, from Final Fantasy to the more recently-acquired Tomb Raider. This time, we get a peek at Capcom's Monster Hunter series, care of Famitsu.
Famitsu's data comes from Enterbrain, clocking the lifetime sales of the series in Japan. This spans all games released (so far) on the PS2 and PSP. The breakdown is as follows:
- Mar '04: Monster Hunter (PS2): 288,559
- Jan '05: Monster Hunter G (PS2): 237,393
- Dec '05: Monster Hunter Portable (PSP): 1,122,604
- Feb '06: Monster Hunter 2 dos (PS2): 692,228
- Feb '07: Monster Hunter Portable 2nd (PSP): 1,723,187
- Mar '08: Monster Hunter Portable 2nd G (PSP): 3,008,554
Eight million sales in one country alone is a tall order, especially for a series which started only a few years ago.

Funny thing is now that the game is showing up some promising future, all those kiss-ass video games reviewers are now sort of saying "it is a nice game, it is a nice" and trying their best to promote.
Remember when they were all dissing monster hunter Freedom saying that "it needs moar magic", "It needs lock on mode"... but look at them now. Just following the trend like sheep...
Anyways, MHF ftw!
