BothIsn't this digital sales only though?
Doesn't include physical PS4 sales?
Ah ok, then I'm mightily impressed just how close they are. Thought PS4 would be significantly ahead of PC outside of Asia. Not much in it really. PC gaming alive and well it seems.
Interesting stats. I wonder what the revenue of each platform is like. Also, I'm sure glad that the series finally left handhelds for PC.
Monster Hunter is basically a game in a genre and style that really caters to PC gamers. It is the same with Dark Souls-style games, they will sell great on PC.Ah ok, then I'm mightily impressed just how close they are. Thought PS4 would be significantly ahead of PC outside of Asia.

Isn't China a major contributor to PC sales in Asia? Which would explain the good PC sales there.
It's not that close? ~35% of total sales were on PC (5.9m of 16.9m), which is about what you'd expect.Ah ok, then I'm mightily impressed just how close they are. Thought PS4 would be significantly ahead of PC outside of Asia. Not much in it really. PC gaming alive and well it seems.
That's what I was thinking. Or did MHW not have a release in China? PC is the big "system" there.
That makes this shit all the more annoying. Capcom still treating PC users like second class citizens no matter what. Matt Walker's current excuse for DMCV:SE not being on PC is COVID (according to some hints he dropped on twitter), but I'm willing to bet it will never come to PC, just like how DmC:DE never did either.Love how they fucked PC players with DMC release. Capcom are fools
Title is a bit misleading as I thought Japan is part of Asia and I got really shocked lmao(I mean Japan is part of asia right?)
You are forgetting SEA (Indonesia, Philippines, Malasyia, Thailand, Singapore, ... ) which is a big region for Gaming. India is the one that tends to be put separately.When it comes to business regions, typically no. The realities of releasing a game in Japan are much different that releasing a game in China.
Asia as a sales region typically means China and Korea, at least with video games.

Hasn't that been leaked as well?
The better title.Leaked Capcom MHW sales reveal PC version performing better than PS4 outside of Japan
So what's the secret?I know the secret behind monster hunters massive PC sales
PC players will know I mean
You can't convince me this wasn't a genius marketing move by Capcom
I wonder how those percentages would look if you'd compare them launch alligned. While I think the PS4 would still be higher than PC they'd probably be pretty close.It's not that close? ~35% of total sales were on PC (5.9m of 16.9m), which is about what you'd expect.
35% PC (5.9m)
51% PS4 (8.7m)
14% Xbox (2.4m)
I knew the PC version sold well but I think it's kind of crazy that PC nonJP > PS4 nonJP, especially given that the PC version launched 7 months later.

So what's the secret?
Also this would explain why Rise is coming to PC seeing just how well MHW sold.
