I am also interested to see what sold on Xbox One in Japan. I heard it was PS4 only in Japan, but at this rate, imports could be much more attractive if you assume most don't just download it since its sold out.

In the EU/NA you can buy it on Xbox.
In japan, its a exclusive for PS4.

Woah, that's huge!

Blew straight through my expectations (~4M LT), and quite a few others from what I can see.

Congrats to Capcom!

The Sony fanbase itself makes this feel way more bittersweet than it should. It's great monster hunter finally hit mainstream success in the west but I'm not looking forward to hardcore PlayStation fanboys acting like they're the savior of some unknown underappreciated niche series

That's hilarious coming from you The guy who was all like:

"Waaah, we Nintendo gamers popularize the franchise and Capcom back-stabbed us! waaah"

"I hope this casualized shit fails. I predict 1.5-2 million."

"Evil Sony paid greedy Capcom to keep it off Switch! The butthurt leaker said so!"

 

Have some shame and bless us with your silence.

Wow, that's some never seen before level of patheticism.

We regularly get reports for games that are struggling to move units. Especially on Japanese games. None so far for world. Quite the opposite. 

Sounds legit. 

The real shit posting was when people tried claiming playstation no longer had a fanbase for monster hyjte and because Nintendo took it all to 3ds. In reality it now looks like capcom missed out on a hell of a lot of sales because they went Nintendo exclusive for a gen. 

Your wrong on both accounts. 1 Drvita post is shitposting. If other people said what your telling me then were obviously wrong and deserve crow on a hot platter 

 

2 Capcom didnt a ton of money, they made the right choice back in the beginning of 8th gen.  Capcom the again made the right choice with how to handle the home console and western audience with MHW.

Unless Nintendo paid big bucks for exclusivity they lost a lot of money by ignoring ps3, 360 and pc. 



I wonder how it’s doing in Japan.

Was this necessary?

It’s just a bit of banter so no it wasn’t but it’s still good to have a laugh.

May I suggest you restrict banter to as few people as possible rather than aiming it at many people? Some might take it the wrong way...



So everyone except me seems to love this franchise all of a sudden.

I have been interested in this franchise since the first game, just hated handhelds and therefore waited and hoped it would come back to console.

Edit: yes there was a Wii U MH but... not exactly interested in that console (which im sure isnt a controversial opinion), not to mention this is a game made for consoles taking advantage of those specs, instead of just a port of a handheld version.

So much for sales being affected cause it was on the 'wrong' platform.........

On the Switch it would've sold 10m on launch. I'd call that "affected".

Well that may be somewhat true as there isn't much else to buy atm in 2018 lol.
