Rumor: First month NPD sales for Monster Hunter Tri

Last month, the Wii saw the release of a significant game, Monster Hunter Tri. The title has received heavy marketing from Capcom with television commercials and online promotion. However, there have been a number of questions regarding how well Tri would do overseas as the series has not reached the same popularity in Europe and North America as it has in Japan.

Well, the game apparently sold about 126,000 units in the United States. This is, of course, based on data from NPD. Monster Hunter Tri launched on April 20, so that data includes less than two weeks from sales. Tri didn’t set the sales charts on fire, but Capcom is most likely relatively pleased with how it’s performing so far.
