Without question imo, but that's also a consequence of how badly packaged units are being undershipped.
MHW did around 900k digital total iirc and Rise should be near 700k for 1st week only.

Probably a higher digital percentage, yes. For a number of reasons, like COVID, stock shortages, and the general uptake of digital sales in the last 4 years.
I'd say this would be the case both globally and in Japan.
Do you have a source for 900k digital for MHW in Japan? Last I saw from the Capcom leaks the MHW total for Japan was something like 3.4 million sold.
EDIT: Ah, right. The Master Edition. Yeah, ~900k looks like a good estimate for digital.

Yeah, that's why I was wondering. If the second week physical is similar to World(or lower) then that means quite a lot of digital copies in the last week as well.
Well we already know the percentage was higher at launch(30% vs 40%).
I assume that's the leaked MHW numbers from Capcom minus the physical sales from MC or Famitsu.
Well, if Master Edition isn't counted then Game Data Library shows 1.96 million for PS4 MHW and the Capcom leak numbers per article leaked below had 3.18 million for PS4 MHW. So that'd be ~1.22 million digital PS4 copies if I'm reading it correctly.

Correct you are! Per GDL those amount to 120k, so that results in about 1.1 million digital PS4 copies sold, or right around 35% digital ratio.
EDIT: Using Chris' MC numbers below looks like ~1.04 million? That's a lot more precise, good. ~32.5% ratio

Sweet summer child.
Looking at how much it is sold right now on Amazon. Shortages won't end soon.
Stock already isn't as tight in the US meaning there should be more available for Japan.
Didnt the Vita, or the PSP do this years ago? I can't remember which, but sales-era probably remembers. I remember the handhelds hardware was selling weekly but the software was, god knows where.
They dont have a ton of margin for the hybrid in the US either.
I don't remember software sales for Vita and PSP being anywhere as bad as the PS5.
While this is true its also not usually going for over a thousand bucks on EBAY like it was last April.
IIRC PSP always performed strongly, and Vita's issue was a low ceiling rather than a low floor.
The Switch is sold out on Amazon US. Kinda wild that a console going on its 5th year is sold out.
If it were any other circumstances, I'd agree. Right now, though, I think even a Wii u and vita would sell out
If the New Switch Color SP XL Mini Lite is real and hits all the right notes the original Switch did (albeit to a lesser extent obviously), then I'd say there's a good chance it becomes the biggest system ever in Japan.
If it's a minor upgrade, then maybe around 30 million.
If it's a minor upgrade, then maybe around 30 million.
3DS eShop sales have slowed down to a trickle. Unless there's a sale, it's always the same games in the Top 10. And it doesn't take much for a game on sale to get in the Top 10.
And no, pretty certain VC sales aren't added to the total for the original release. They may be counted in the total for a given series (like when The Pokémon Company announces Pokémon games have sold xxx million units since Pokémon Red / Blue), but that's it.
2 days after I made the list for Resident Evil, the pre-order figures of Resident Evil 8 dropped by 2
Even if it did not exist, +30M would be in the cards, the switch ultra is yet to be seen how the Japanese market would react, but judging by previous trends it may not impact it as highly as some expect. So, probably also just +30M.
That's just a joke name for the Switch Pro/Plus/Whatever that is an amalgamation of multiple names, not a new rumor about the lite, right?
The effect of Switch Pro on sales will probably be that the second-hand market will be flooded with OG Switch since most of the people who will be interested, especially if it is more expensive, will be people who already have a Switch.
This is not necessarily a bad thing, since those low-priced OG Switches are reaching people who will also buy software.

The biggest thing about Rise's success is... its not really made with a "western focus" of any kind, its completely made for Japanese audience yet is selling on par with PS4's version of World if not faster.
I wonder if this level of success with the numbers Momotaro Dentetsu achieved would affect Japanese companies strategies in anyway going forward.

I have the feeling that lately it is very trendy to make games with a strong Japanese aesthetic. MH Rise, Ghost of Tsushima, Sekiro, Sakuna, Pokemon Legends...

Yeah, I agree. A traditional/historical Japanese setting definitely isn't a negative for western audiences I feel. Rise's western numbers seem very good, regardless.
