Did you guys notice that finally today; at 31days before release:
MH:W (PS4) = 741 pts
FF XV (PS4) + DQ XI (PS4) = 735 pts

MH:W > FF XV + DQ XI in COMG pre orders right now!

I always knew monster Hunter could do well on ps4 and this proves it.

Shouldn't MHW be compared with other mainline MH games instead of a rerelease that came out 1.5 years after the initial release? It's like comparing Resident Evil 3 to Resident Evil 2: The Directors Cut but not the first release of Resident Evil 2.

Sure, let’s also capture COMG from when these prior titles were released as well.  COMG closed multiple stores and has increased competition from Amazon since 2013.

nobody is stopping you from making that comparison if you feel it has more merit

and if you do I'd be interested how MH:W fares against the initial MH3(tri) release on the Wii

It should be compared to whatever it resembles the most. We could compare it to MH4 or Pokemon BW2, but it wouldn't help in anything.

I guess something useful would be past MH ratios once we get to the final days/first week numbers.

So we should compare it to Dragon's Dogma, Skyrim and Horizon: Zero Dawn too.

We can compare it to anything you want. The goal is to get similar curves and numbers. MHXX is doing exactly that. But that was on the 3DS, which didn't have a great ratio for most MH games (all doing under 1).

On the other hand, PS4 games tend to have a favourable ratio, like FFXV and DQXI. All 3 games have kinda close COMG pre-orders, so bada bim bada boom.

We could get a chart showing MH4 and Portable 3rd, and yes, we will get MHW look bad. We could also use a chart using Uncharted 4 or Gran Turismo Sport and make MHW look good. That's not the point tho.



Bet with bluedawgs: I say Switch will outsell PS4 in 2018, he says PS4 will outsell Switch. He's now permabanned, but the bet will remain in my sig.

I believe Tri on Wii ended around 980pts

My point is that people are noting how great MHW is doing when it's a comparison against an expansion pack.  A new mainline entry should be doing great against an expansion pack.  It should be pitted against Portable 3rd, Tri, 4 and X. I'd say 1 and 2 as well but I don't think we have COMG figures that far back.

It just seems like it's being compared against XX for the sole purpose of making MHW look good rather than for being a valid comparison.

I agree, the FF/DQ comparison makes sense because those are the best selling PS4 titles but MHXX is a weird comparison just to make it seem like its doing great for the series.

seems this weekend monster will crash the 800 points, or even before...?

Off you go and make your comparisons then. 

 

BTW nobody really thought it would beat MH XX. It's just it went into beast mode and is tracking ahead for now. What a pleasant surprise. 



 



Ayyy
