I would say 75-100k. Previous Nintendo outings for MH in the UK are not an indication in any way, since in the UK the only 3DS games that did reasonably well were all 1st party, or at least non "core" games.

Hmm, MH4U sold 16k-23k (that's the best range I could find). Predicting MHW is hard, since digital has risen a lot and we have no clue how big a percentage MHW digital will be. I think that combined the two will do 40k-45k, so physical maybe 25k-30k? I honestly don't know how to gauge it.
Yeah, a few factors that make predictions tough. The digital aspect is definitely a notable consideration. Anyone's guess really.
75-100K without digital would be excellent.
Like I said in that post, BotW is #11 in Aus, which isn't that bad. They'll end up doing decently there, but probably still end up in third place. And I'm not sure why you'd expect Pokemon USM to make the top ten but Sun made the top 10 in 2016.
As for NZ, Nintendo and NZ have a mutual disinterest in the other. They don't care about us, we don't care about them. Though Pokemon is the one Nintendo franchise that's popular here, so the Switch should get a bump whenever that comes out but it'll still inevitably end up in distant third place.
NPD Group but I believe there's some sort of collaboration between them and GfK to gather their data. And I'm not sure if they include hard bundled copies.
FYI, almost every new release comes out on Friday in the UK. It doesn't matter, those three days are still when most games make the majority of their full price sales.
Really hard to predict MHW sales because there's just too many factors at play. It's basically a guessing game.
If the XB1 version manages to match the previous 3DS games launch week numbers, that would be pretty nice.

Hopefully we'll get something like "MHW more than doubled the next best MH launch in UK" in order to approximate numbers.
There is strong demand for Switch but the price is ridiculous compared to the other offers.
And in regards to MHW sales in UK, >25k <30K
I'm honestly not sure where to begin making a semi-educated guess outside of saying Monster Hunter: World will debut above 25k. We also then have to consider digital sales. I'll be somewhat impressed if it sells >50k physical.
I'm in agreement. Doesn't seem like the type of game that vibes with the UK taste. Not like 45k is bad, just not breakout.
Though, I think the PS4 version pulls like 50k and XB1 less than 10k.
That sounds good, wonder if Gamesindustry.biz will provide us with a percentage for the game. Far higher suggests we might be looking 100% or more up from MH4U, maybe? MH4U was up 95% from MH3U, so those kinds of jumps are not unprecedented for the series either.
Capcom stay winning!
I am really curious to see the software split for Monster Hunter: World. I honestly reckon it will be close to 80:20 in favour of the PlayStation 4.
Also eager to see how Dragon Ball FighterZ has done split wise too.
The Inpatient at number ten is really good for a PlayStation VR only game!

If suggest closer to 90:10 honestly. Just been no promotion for Xbox.
Good to see MHW not bombing in the UK. Bring on the PC port Capcpom.
Better games?
Better games?
PS4 ratio for World will likely be incredibly dominant. They seemed to have been responsibly for all the marketing.
Also ouch, SFV:AE at 30.
Also ouch, SFV:AE at 30.
Splatoon 2 tumbles to no. 32 after several weeks at no. 20 or 21. Strange sales behaviour for that title.
The sudden drops for Odyssey and Splatoon despite Kart and Zelda staying relatively put is odd, yeah.
Wait, i have a doubt. Same units on PS4/XB1 means FighterZ = Xenoverse on PS4/XB1 , withouth counting PS3/360?
Because at the time, PS3/360 accounted for 18% of total sales. XV1 sold between 16K and 21K, so, if that's total sales, FighterZ is there. If not, we are looking at 13-17K
I own all 3. MK has casual appeal as well as family gaming appeal. And Zelda is a behemoth. My personal preference of the two being better games aside I wouldn't expect a platformer to outsell either of the two games.
Mario games always sell better than Zelda games. That's just a fact. On any Nintendo platform.
The weird thing here is that Odyssey is selling better than Zelda and Mario Kart elsewhere. So why the difference in UK ?
We're talking about game of generation quality games here. And 3 must have games on Switch ( I have them all as well... ).
