IMO 1 millions is passable. 1.5 million is a success. Everything after that is gravy. Mmmm...gravy.

Monster Hunter 4 did more than 3 million. How can 1.5 million for probably the most expensive MonHun ever a success?

I think the reasoning is that hopefully sales outside of Japan, on XBO, and PC eventually make up for the lower JP numbers.

what about if it can sell 2m outside of japan? did any of the monster hunter game on nintendo systems sell 1m outside of japan?



Yes, for sure. DQXI is at what? 1.4m already? I think MH will be bigger than that and it will also release on a bigger user base. I think this will sell 4m WW LT on PS4.



Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won

If it were Jap only that be bad but its targeting West more so, its more important over there. That said if MHW does under 1mil in Japan that would be very bad but its going to open over that if not slightly under.

 

Its unfortunate but MH4 would of been a 5mil+ seller but western salea for the gamr count toward mh4u

Probably not, then. MH4U most likely did 1.5m.

Because monhun only EVER sold that much on handhelds.

 

Monhun exploaded on the psp and 3ds for a reason: it formed eaid culture. Meaning you get together in a cafe or fast food resteraunt with freinds and play together locally. That does NOT apply to world.

 

What you are saying is that a home console (not switch) pokemon game would be a failure if it sold less than 10 milion.



i predicted 2m for japan and 3m outside of japan. lets hope for 1m fw in japan. if not then it will not sell 2m in japan
