Interesting. That means Capcom's new releases during FYQ1 (SF30AC, MMLC1+2 Switch, RE7 Cloud) sold 1,100,550. Much more than I'd have expected tbh.Presentation Slides got added

There is one interesting Slide Here
Firstly they merged New SKU and Catalog titles in one forecast instead of separating them like they used to make recently ,I personally bet that this is their answer to counter MHW "not-as-expected" legs and them seeing the reception for RE2 and DMCV makes them believe that they will overperform in New SKU Forecast ( Which Was 7.4M) and Underperform in Catalog Titles Forecast ( Which was 17.4M )
They made ratios for Overseas , Digital and Catalog titles , which would be very helpful in calculating things , They applied those ratios for the same quarters in the previous two years
Capcom sold 4.3M Copies in this 3 months both New SKU and Catalogs titles , Which was 85.1% Overseas and 14.9% Japan , Digital was 62.1% , Catalog Titles were 74.7% and New SKU 25.3%
Activision does the same thing with CoD, they stopped givig concrete sale figures a long time ago.
They released MH on PS3. SCEA/SCEE prevented them from releasing it overseas though.
What would you like to have seen of post-launch support that wouldnt make it terrible in your opinion?

Firstly their main forecast now became merging of New SKU forecast and Catalog titles forecast instead of separating them like recently , They still separate their forecast for catalog prediction and New SKU Prediction in the catalog titles ratio , but it isn't the main forecast like before and is hidden now and became a side thing inside the main front Merged Forecast , I personally bet that this is their answer to counter MHW "not-as-expected" legs and them seeing the reception for RE2 and DMCV makes them believe that they will overperform in New SKU Forecast ( Which Was 7.4M) and Underperform in Catalog Titles Forecast ( Which was 17.4M )
They made ratios for Overseas , Digital and Catalog titles , which would be very helpful in calculating things , They applied those ratios for the same quarters in the previous two years

What the fuck? It did have legs, you're in a thread talking about the game selling an additional 400k copies.
This.
Looking at his post history, every MH thread hits a nerve. An explosion of negative posts then deletions.
G-rank installments tend to be a year+ out from the vanilla release, and given that they're not done releasing content for the base game yet, it's still going to be a while yet. I'm not even expecting it to show up at TGS, since they'll have REmake 2 and DMCV to focus on.
yeah, like ATVI, EA, Ubisoft and basically all other publishers (except maybe Nintendo)
Yeah, it's not exclusive to Capcom. Investors should really be grilling publishers about this during Q&A period. Though I guess most of them probably don't even care and just want to hear what their dividend will be.
Usually in the 4-5m range. MHW had a slight domestic decline, but massive growth overseas and is by far the highest selling game in the series history.
We don't know yet, but I'd be shocked if it wasn't both a discounted DLC drop and a re-release of the game at retail at full price. I can't see them doing just the latter ever again.
So not only is their presentation slides half the length of the same quarter last year. It's omitting some data like this which you would find on the last page:
The above highlights software sales by each platform.
This is the last page of the current 1st quarter results:
They did tried a Console MH a lot several times. World success is personally is based on graphics, proper marketing, and in a sense, Timing, as much as I dont like that Trend, Dark Souls really became meme for "its hard but its good" so calling MHW as "Dark Souls with Dinosaurs" was the right choice for some.
4 - 6M IIRC
did they ever actually mentioned what were their target sales, can you link it to me cause I dont remember or has it been mentioned before in the thread?
That really depends on if you consider 400k good legs. The game sold a lot at launch, so that would obviously raise the expectations people have.
