It will do okay on console, but it will kill it on PC.

I don't know how much they will sell, but it will be less then the Switch version of MH XX.

I wouldn't be too sure about that if the Japan-only release turns out to be true for XX. Monster Hunter X sold 2.8m in Japan and I would bet the port will sell a fair bit less then the original did on a much higher install-base.

1. Switch isn't region locked

2. I don't think you nderstand how huge MH is in Japan and how pathetic MH is in the rest of the world. Japan accounts for like 80+% of sales of each game.

3. And while on Japan, don't forget how huge handhelds are there. Consoles do shit there comparitively.



Since it's on 3 platforms it's best case scenario that is probably possible is for it to just barely skim 3 million, although even that is not a great number for what is a main series Monster Hunter title, especially for a multi-plat title and even then a think it'll end up closer to 2 million. 

It'll sell the best on PS4 because of it being exclusive there in Japan, but it'll likely sell the best on PC in the west and Xbox One sales will be the overall lowest.

World Wide

PS4 - 1.3 million

PC - 500k (don't read too much into this since I barely have a clue about sales when it comes to PC)

Xbox One - 350k

1. Doesn't matter, sure some will import, but if you think sales will be remotely close to what they would've been with an official release you're wrong.

2/3. Considering I used the 3ds versions japanese sales figures these 2 points don't really matter.

Good points, but i would like to point out that unless the NS version is confirmed to have dual english language options, it may be effectively region locked.



In the wilderness we go alone with our new knowledge and strength.

Wow, you all really lowballing the expectations. 2.5M-3M are expected for a home console release. The Wii-game made more than 2M and this game is on multiple platforms. Multipat doesn't add much, but it adds something.

Expecting the game to transfer the japanese base would lead to the expectation of >4M. If we also assume it grows in the west and/or finds new gamers because of updated graphics this would lead to expectations of at least 5M. You all stayed way below that mark. Wanna explain?
