Damn, I want to be able to play with somebody instead of solo'ing every mission. Xlink Kai lags, and my friends and family members says it's too hard.
Hopefully Monster Hunter Tri would be free for online, then again... I might actually pay a month or two if it's required for the US.

yeah it'll probably be jp only. there just isn't a big enough english userbase (or at least people who buy the games) for capcom to bring a game like this over.

Well they do buy the PSP ports of PS2 games and not a lot of them have a PC to run it. Saying that probably more have PC's then 360's.

Eventual port to PS3 when it bombs.

Yep, they buy it on the PSP after some years, but that's because japanese people prefer to play MH on handhelds. Not to mention the PSP version doesn't have an online fee.

Monster Hunter is not as popular on consoles.. and the 360 is not a popular console in Japan, MS is obviously trying to change that with this announcement, but I doubt it will work.

Monster Hunter is very popular is Japan, people that is getting it for the 360 can start a new game, or is able to play with friends that doesn't have a good enough PC to run it in the first place. Heck, it was even popular in Hong Kong in the summer of 2008, I was seeing ads at places I go.

That's what I thought as well. MH games are on the PSP so if Capcom were to put it on the PS3 it would be a different story because not only would Capcom sell the game, if they added connectivity with it say being able to use your character in 2nd G, then people would flock not only to the PS3 but possibly the PSP as well.

At least, that is how I see it anyway...

That is so true Cocky my bud, while I'm no fan of the games they do suit the PSP more.
