Years ago, I used to marvel at the Japanese predilection for music-based video games. Dance Dance Revolution, Beatmania and Guitar Freaks were tearing it up in Japanese arcades as well as on PS1s and Ps2s. Now, ten years or so later, Rock Band and Guitar Hero completely pwn US games sales charts. Does this mean that in 2014, Monster Hunter Freedom 12Q will be all the rage with North American PSP3 owners? I hope so, ’cause Baby Capcom needs a new pair of shoes!

Hang on to your upgraded armor pants, because Monster Hunter Freedom 2G has now crossed the 2 million mark in Japan since its release on March 27! 2 million in less than a month. Awesome.

There are a little over 9 million PSPs in Japan — this means that 1 out of every 4.5 PSP owners in Japan owns a copy of MH2G. Scary! When you factor in that there have been multiple types/colors of PSPs released in Japan, that number probably comes down significantly. That’s a heck of an attach rate.
