You'd think that Japan would be fresh out of monsters at this point, considering that they've been ruthlessly hunting them without rest since 2004, but that's not the case. In fact, it seems the monster birth rate is so high over there, that over a million blademasters and gunners have been recruited for the latest hunt.
Monster Hunter Tri-G (http://www.joystiq.com/game/monster-hunter-tri-g) has sold 1.08 million copies as of January 8, according toAndriasang (http://andriasang.com/comzmb/media_create_charts/), making it the first third-party release (and third 3DS title overall) to break the million-sold milestone in Japan. It is distinct from some other million-selling 3DS titles (Mario Kart 7 (http://www.joystiq.com/game/mario-kart-7), Super Mario 3D Land (http://www.joystiq.com/game/super-mario-3d-land)) in that it does not feature an Italian plumber, but rather focuses on monsters and the hunting thereof. Wait, isn't Mario technically a monster hunter as well? Maybe there is a common thread here.
