Monster Hunter 2nd G ships 1.5 million in less than two weeks

What's scarier than a tidal wave of Monsters? A tidal wave of Monster Hunters, surely. That's exactly what has swept over Japan in the last two weeks as Monster Hunter 2nd G sells a frankly indecent amount of units in the region. After outdoing its older brother Monster Hunter Portable 2 in first week sales Monster Hunter 2nd G is encroaching on Portable 2's overall sales figure of just over 2 million units since February 2007. Capcom Japan has revealed that 2nd G has shipped 1.5 million units in less than two weeks.

Something about the game doesn't translate well to the West and it's not clear whether we'll see 2nd G be released outside of Japan. With sales figures like that there's very little need to. We don't see it slowing down anytime soon, either. Could Monster Hunter 2nd G outsell the original in a single month?
