Okay guys, what is the top 10 in terms of pre-orders from COMG?

Well MHW is not top10 or even top50, but is number one PS4 game and 1600 is a great feat

I wonder how it compares to its gen. As in basically 3DS games.

Well, Monster Hunter World had a great run, like no PS4 game ever before. Now let's hope it has a good ratio so Resetera can fume

Pls Japan buy MHW for the PS4

Haha resetera formerly gaf used to bash playstation fans for years saying monster Hunter will come back. Then when they announced it they were saying it would bomb. Sub 1m in sales and many saying sub 500k lol. I've never seen the playstation haters over there so quiet the last few weeks.

Well since MHW has 1 less day then most games FW sales will be a bit different, but not by much. I am going to give it a .88 ratio which leads to 1.435m. This ratio of course assumes enough stock, which it seems it may not have, thus it will probably be re-compensated by its digital sales.

Looks like MHW will have no problems to sell 1.5m copies lifetime in Japan and 2m is doable as well. It being multiplat in the rest of the world should add another 2m to MHW's total due to a beta that sparked more interest in the IP and some much needed and long overdue improvement to quest structure and feedback to the player. Being able to see how much damage any given attack does is a big deal.

With sales of 4m+ Capcom won't regret their choice of platforms unless they locked themselves into a deal where they aren't allowed to put Monster Hunter on Switch.

If they weren't allowed put world on Switch couldn't they just name that version mh5?

Sony will be happy to see digital sales go crazy. I'd guess they get 30% of digital sales compared to under 10% of retail. Big win for them but big loss for retailers.

I wonder will a second shipment arrive before Sunday.

So it's looking like a 1m retail launch and probably 200k+ for digital.

I don't think console manufacturers get higher royalty fees from digital sales of third party games, instead the retailer cut goes into the publishers' pockets.

I'm sure they do. Apple set the standard at 30% for digital stores, don't think anyone is moving away from that.

The bargaining power that Apple has is very disproportionate with respect to the bargaining power Sony has. There is no "standard" which translates across these platforms.
