Capcom Prepares for Immense Monster Hunter Tri Demand, Ships 1 Million Units
by July 30, 2009 @ 12:26 pm
Purely judging from its wildly successful stint on PSP, Japanese folks love their Monster Hunter. Which is why it makes perfect sense for Capcom to take preparatory measures for the franchise’s Wii debut, ensuring that there is no shortage of copies to pass around.
The company announced today that 1 million units of Monster Hunter Tri have been shipped to retailers across Japan, ahead of its August 1 street date. Capcom calls it a record-breaking feat, an accomplishment that no other third-party Wii effort can claim to its name. Overall, sales of the franchise are 10 million strong.
No word on a stateside release for Tri as of yet.
