"Zounds! Based on the monstrous success of Capcom's Monster Hunter Portable 2nd G, the PSP reached impressive hardware sales heights this week in Japan. It came very close to outselling every other piece of hardware combined, with nearly 130,000 units, some of which were bundled with the latest Monster Hunter expansion. Here's how the hardware battle went down during March 24 to March 30."
In that time, the PSP has outsold the DS (and all other consoles combined) by 50% in Japan. So people go looking for software to add on... Between the PSP gaining momentum and all the recent publicity, it doesn't surprise that the Rockman titles are starting to move again. The question really is, will it do any good? Was Inafune crazy like a fox to put out these games on a system that took time to catch on after launch?
