MH4U may be here sooner than you think..

Capcom announced that they exspect sales of MH4U to reach 3.9 million in all release territories to include North America and Europe by March 31st of 2015 before the end of the fiscal year..

For them to include the western territories in this count is pretty significant and gives away some pretty big clues into the release timeframe for MH4U here in the west. First it lets us know that we will be getting MH4U by at least the begining of March.. But for the numbers to be counted on the sales it would likely have to be released even sooner as early as February or January.

If Capcom if Releasing MH4U in January or Febuary however they will be hurting themselves here in the west by missing the Christmas holiday and hitting a period when many are hurting for Money and getting ready to start on their taxes... So the next question would be (though a long shot..) is capcom going to release MH4U as early as December for the Christmas Holiday in the West? Could be...

It is likely we will know for sure with a release announcement Next month at E3. Until than the news of them including the sales in the March 31st sales lets us know we will be getting it at least by early march 2015!!!

Capcom has also stated they will be notifying the winners of the MH4U weapon contests by no later then June 6th. This will give them a chance to officially announce the winners during this years E3 along with any additional announcements about MH4U for the west.

hadn't they said they'd notify the winners between sometime in may and June 2nd?

.. You are correct.. I typed 6 instead of 2.. It is June 2nd, still before E3.

That's a pretty cool idea, to include the winners into their announcements at E3  

I love URLs sometimes.
The URL looks like it says 39 million copies. x3

^ That would be quite a few copies of MH4U..

Either MH4U is coming earlier (which seems possible and its awesome) or Capcom really trusts this game to come up with over 3 million sales in 2 months.

^3 million sales, after a major holliday, during tax season in just a month or two. So yeah, either they will release it early here in the west ot they are putting some major hopes on it. I am hoping on the early release but who knows.. it's CapJap here we are talking about, you know they ones who chose not to put SF on the WiiU because they didn't want to lose ssales to Smash brothers... .. on second thought that's probably a smart move since even Ubisoft delayed Watchdogs on the WiiU not to compete againf Mario Kart 8...

So Who knows Maybe MH4U can sale 3 Million Copies in only a couple of months.. Especially is they release a 3DS and 3DSxl special version! <3

Early release would be the best option for business... Hoping they know about the apparent holiday boom with 3U, among other games, I'm sure. December's just one of those good months for sales >.>

Special versions could definitely help, especially for anyone who hasn't gotten a 3DS yet (you never know) or anyone who's looking to do what my older sis did and switch from the 3DS to the XL, or vice versa.
Also, anyone who would just really want that x3

Got a Drab 3ds/3DSxl



Bury it in the woods for someone else to deal with!

and get and amazing new MONSTER HUNTER 3DS/3DSXL

Wait, no, I have a roommate without a 3DS at all. Give it to her, my current one, and I'll have the MH one  

there are dozens of MH 3ds' out in Japan right now.. each one looks really good. I would love to have that many choices but it would be hard deciding which one I would really want.

Region lock hurrrr. You won't be able to play mh4u on that

Jinathin_x_X, pretty much we were talking if they released any special editions for MH4U when it's released in the west.. which might happen. Hopefull they will say something at E3 but it's doubtfull they will announce any MH3ds for the west so soon.
