Good for globally but this MC thread, so, again, I stand by what I said, MHW had a great release but given the lack of legs compared to omother games, i asse the game sold more on the novelty factor: "OMG MH is back on PS and HD, I have to try it!!!!"
Given that the engine still MTF, I call BS on the tech side, Capcom simply just dont care enough.
Also isn't it 4m+? So for all we know it could be 4.4m or 4.5m.
Absolutely. We know it is between 4 and 5 million, but nothing more.
It will all depends how Smash legs hold, if they do it well, xmas week should have another sales boost, but yeah even so 4M as an exclusive in 4 months is extremely
I'm talking calender year as in 2018 so it only has a month. It's just so weird seeing a playstation console game as the years best seller. When did that last happen. Ps2 days?
The only accurate is 2m sell-through at retail with shipments being around 3m in Japan and the game having basically stopped selling after its first months.
If it was only a tech issue then Switch would already have Monster Hunter: World Cloud Version by now.
If we are doing the calendar year then yes, but it becomes event a more rodiculos comparison trying to nail 1 month vs 9 of sales (MHw was jan or march??)
The exclusivity deal was ever confirmed? I had people back them jumping up that it was just a baseless rumor
It's less of a comparison to smash and more just looking at the full calendar year and seeing that a ps4 game takes top spot. First and probably last time ever the console will likely achieve this. Hasn't happened since the ps2 days for Sony AFAIK.
japan can surprise and disappoint. Personally 35k seems like a more safer bet. i'd say 40k, though.
A Microsoft exec came as close to confirming it as anyone will. Capcom also commented before on Sony's significant co-promotion/funding in Asia so it's not exactly difficult to connect those dots. It's obvious.
Sorry for double post.
The leaker blog posted a picture of Saint Germain. In the past he posted a Saint Germain picture to hint that something sold 300k.
This is because in Japanese, Saint Germain sounds like "San Ju Man" (300k).
Don't get too excited yet. Maybe we are reading too much.
it will also make it the highest selling HW week just behind release week (329K)
Isn't it too soon for the leaker? Doesn't the leaker leak later usually, as in 12 hours from now or so?Sorry for double post.

Is 220k bad for Switch this week? I think that's be a pretty decent amount for the week.
Come on. Are you purposefully setting yourself for a disappointment ? They sold 20k this week.
