Performed weakly.

That’s what she said.

via earvcunanan:

However, outside of Japan, the company noted that Bionic Commando “which was targeted to the overseas markets, underperformed its projected sales,” with 550,000 units sold. Monster Hunter Freedom Unite “also performed weakly” overseas, said Capcom.

  • Is it just me or that’s one of the most greater stupidities anyone said ever?

  • Ak-Fren:

    ……….
    What?
    Number one on the gamefaqs top ten games is “weak”?
    WTF?!
    I think it safe to assume that most PSP owners have a copy of MHFU, so if MHFU didn’t reach it’s “projected sales” it’s because they were expecting to sell more copies than there are PSPs.
    This is just…. ugh….

    Here’s a question, if MHFU “performed weakly” then what PSP game did better?

  • Ak-Fren:

    Ha! I just checked out the article.

    You know what I saw in the “Related Articles” section?

    “Monster Hunter Freedom Unite breaks retail records”

    I can’t help but laugh.

  • Synthx:

    Wow lol x.X; I’ve only heard about them breaking retail records, as mentioned by Ak-Fren above. This is just lawls-worthy

  • Faith Hikari:

    o.O

    ……………….seriously???

  • PrismZ:

    hahahahahahaha!!! stupid capcom…Helloooo? mhfu breaks record for PSP?? what do they expect, every kid in europe and north america to own a f****** copy of MHFU?

  • Apeman505:

    Dagnabbit! Let’s all go out and buy extra copies of it! We gotta make Capcom happy!

  • Ak-Fren:

    My first thought after reading Apeman’s comment:

    No, I will not. I will by the game, buy merchandise, and punch out people that pirate the game, but I won’t go out and buy multiple copies of a game to satisfy Capcom’s unrealistic goals.

    My second thought:

    I think I may have warped the disk from playing it so much, maybe I should buy another copy…. or a new PSP…. or both….

    Seriously though, it’s really loud when it access the disk, I’ve been trying to decide if there’s something wrong with the PSP or the disk, or if it was just always that loud and I had never noticed before.

  • OrSKAsm:

    my friend’s copy of freedom 2 bent within its casing and was destroyed when the disc rubbed against that casing. so i wouldn’t doubt the possibility that it could happen again.

    So yes, buy another copy!

  • Bazzurd:

    Hilarious.

    Did they expect that every PSP-owner would buy two copies of the game?

    Just hilarious.

  • Crops:

    Compared to the sales figures in Japan, this amount is pretty low.

    I think that for each 1 person who bought the game, at least 4-5 people downloaded it, so the ratio of people who play and people who bought the game is quite different.

    Then again, every other PSP title barely sells either, so I guess the MHFU fans should be patting themselves on the back for supporting the series. Especially considering most people on the supporters page own an original copy of 2ndG as well…

  • Athanatoz:

    i downloaded it(waits to get slayed by the fans here)

  • Athanatoz:
