Monster Hunter never found much of an audience in the US, but in Japan it's a big deal. How big of a deal? Well, when's the last time you saw this many versions of a game to buy:
1: Stand-Alone Game
2: Accessories Set (the game and themed accessories of UMD holders, headphones, and collectible card)
3: Hunter Pack (the game and themed accessories of a champagne PSP, 2 replacement faceplates, one carry case, strap and soft Monster Hunter toys)

One reason for the far better success of this game in Japan over other nations is that the japanese version actually has internet multiplayer. How can they be so stupid not to realize that it's a F*CKUNG HUGE drawback on the other versions, which don't include infrastructure mode? Man, this is so stupid it's like this was a title developed by Sony itself.

I have to say they same thing as daniel-kun if the US or Europe versions had infrastructure this game would be a big hit.
I do not know if Capcom is bringing this out in NA or not but I hope they do and this time not to forget to put in the infrastructure play.
Even the Japan Version aloud to download extra stuff so why not the other versions.

this game was visually stunning, but had a pain-in-the-ass, steep learning curve. now once you were able to get over that, you were in for some really engaging gameplay. still, the experience was weakened by one major flaw- NO INFRUSTRUCTURE.
thas was truly dumb for developers to leave that out!
So now let's see if they've improved on the weak points that kept MH from being the hit in the US that it is in Japan.
