We never got an official figure but I recall an analyst implying it was 1.5m which in retrospect was probably their JA target. They did 2m so well above it if so.

Capcom Q3 FY 2017/2018 Q&A Posted ( In Japanese ) - MHW Above Expectations , Revelations Ports 500K
- Thread starter Ryuichi Naruhodo
- Start date
I mean, the answer to that is that Capcom expected it to sell much less than previous entries domestically, internally.
So if it sold 500K and 250K of which are on Switch, it's basically implied the Switch version is the highest selling version, since whatever left is split between PS4/XB1
Yeah, I'd love to see them blame us for lack of support again.

At this point, I'm convinced Capcom's whole "strategy" with the Switch came out of NeoGaf or similar.
The best selling port of Revelations on new gen systems despite being old are good numbers, i think.
Wonder if REmake will still skip Switch despite it
I really hope Capcom doesn't fuck up all the good will and cash they're getting from World. I feel like since the start of the gen their main problem has been their budget because they fucked up Panta Rhei and those weird Monster Hunter pachinko machines or whatever and went broke. Now they should have some money again.
Asking Capcom not to fuck up any good will they gain is like asking a Alcoholic not to get shit face at a party.
I knowwww. Have there been big executive shake ups in the past decade or so? Most of their fuckups nowadays seem to be because they aren't able to deliver on what people want (budget issues) though, as opposed to last generation when they were just doing nonsensical greedy shit all the time.
If only they released the game in the west. Would have easily made it.
Edit: I know they are pleased with the sales but I will never miss an opportunity to express my distaste for the lack of localization.

Well they promised more Switch support and after all Revelations games and Monster Hunter jp are more than many companies could get out on the first year, i expect some interesting things in the coming years.
Capcom has to be kicking themselves in the ass (or investors should be kicking them) for not putting more games on the switch. Everything they have put on the system so far has done better than it should (seriously... half of RER sales are the switch version?, USFII selling that much, MHXX being japan only and how they botched its launch still doing good). The fact they still haven't announced the Disney collection or Okami for it yet is absurd.
Can't be certain about how a platformer and. Zelda clone will do on a Nintendo system.
I know right. Biiigggg risk right there. Huge investment, not sure return... If either of those would have failed it probably would have sunk Capcom too! /s
So RE:R port sold more on the Switch than the other two consoles combined? WHAT!? I guess we were wrong about Switch's RE:R sales performance on the other threat. Alright Capcom, you did all the tests you wanted and you got all your results, now please stop messing around with its install base and start putting some genuine effort on the console, we are waiting.
So if I read it right Rev 1 on Switch is 250k alone? That's EXTREMELY above 150k combined for both Rev 1 and 2 as the other thread made it out to be.
I hope so, in a world where MHW can sell 5m, DD2 with co-op and open world hunting parties can as well.
I still don't understand why they are so secretive about the sales figures. Why not reveal how rev2 sold as well.
Can we please stop with the whole "lazy" rhetoric? The port is very good and is designed for the Switch' capabilities. There was nothing lazy about it.
Is clear that MHW is above expectations. I'm surprised at REv numbers. It must have bombed hard on the XB1.
I fail to see why they would expect higher, TBH.
Is not lazy. I would say penny-pinching. The ports are good, but they are clearly rushed. the extra games are trash and the motion controls in 2 aren't as good as 1, even when compared to 3DS's. Still better than dual analogs, though.

I actually am not sure if 500K is good or bad. REV2 was originally a PS3/360 game right? I would say 500K is "ok" with switch being half of that "very good" for the switch version.
Not sure why people are surprised at Revelations figures. It has no co-op, for one.
The game didn't even crack 1 million copies on its original platform (3DS), only the HD release managed to push beyond that. Revelations 2 did much better in its original release (across PC, PS4, PS3, X1 and 360) than this re-release.

Capcom games have performed from mediocre to outright bombing on the platform for a while now. I wonder if World broke 1M.
I really wonder if Capcom will bring Monster Hunter World to Switch, it would just mean more money for Capcom.
I really wanna know Capcom's goal is for Switch.
Capcom's current games for Switch:
Resident Evil Revelations 1&2
Ultra Street Fighter II
Street Fight 30th Anniversary Collection
Monster Hunter XX
Megaman Collection 1 and 2
Megaman X Collection
Megaman 11

I didn't write the port itself was lazy but the initiative was. It was hardly advertised (announced through a Tweet, lol) and received scattered and confusing retail distribution, if any. This is how Capcom treated the first appearance of its biggest IP on Switch.
Revelations 1 port is fairly mediocre. Its a less technically advanced game and the performance is barely better than Revelations 2
They are too busy celebrating the success of Monster Hunter World to care.
It sold 500K and half it was on the Switch. Hardly a "lazy" initiative now.
As a whole both ports are done very well with the Switch in mind and it's shown in the performance of sales.
Make up your mind. They care of they don't about sales of these titles?
Eh no. The commercial performance is not equivalent to the technical performance. The first game wasnt a very good port. The second game all thggs considering was. Lots of poor performing games have sales success.
The Switch port was hardly advertised and received a scattered and confusing retail distribution. It was pretty lazy. The fact that it sold as much just shows how receptive Switch userbase rather than how good Capcom was to promote the game.
I do think Capcom is on the Switch for real by now, all the games they have revealed so far for the year are going to be on the Switch + back catalogue games in Mega Man Legacy collections..
It's going to be interesting what comes up next
Joke post? World sold over 1 million physical copies in Japan alone.
Read what I was responding to. World didn't even release in Japan for the platform (XBOne).
Interesting that they're worried about the legs on MonHun World. Guessing the legs on RE7 is what has them a little uncertain. Though that game doesn't have the MP aspect working for it like MHW does.
As for Rev Collection. I'm sure it didn't do as well as they would've liked. But was still enough to convince more ports on the system. Especially when the Switch version is close to as many copies as a quick port on PS4/X1 (Even if Rev 2 isn't counted here)

It was a port of a game that was already ported to current consoles. They don't need to heavily advertise the game in order for it to sell - as we can clearly tell. I'm a Switch owner myself and I was well aware of the game through the e-shop and online, so it was not lazy at all.
This passive aggressiveness between Capcom and some Switch owners is kind of ridiculous and we have to remember they don't owe Nintendo anything. A consumer buys the product via thier choice and thier choice only, they are not entitled to anything else.
