Forums - Sales Discussion - MHW: 60% outside Japan, 30% Digital of total 5 million sales in 3 days

Look like it has already beaten Capcom expectation of MHW



Around the Network

Definitely looks like it'll be reaching that 10 million mark... did it really sell 5 million already? If shipped, how can "30% digital" be shipped?

That is extremely impressive if true, shot right past Horizon and closing in on BotW in about a week.



Wait i'm confused. Are they changing the statement from sold to shipped or vice versa?

I'm confused as well, especially given it lists "30% digital". How can digital be shipped?

That's actually common. When including shipped figures companies usually include digital sales in the figures.

When they report sold. It is Shipped + Digital. Of course digital is sold through, but the number they provide is what the company gained, not necessarily what the end consumer bought.

I think it is possible, but I wouldn't say set it is a given. Right now 8 Million Plus for Sure. (I really think it depends on how well they handle the game going foward).
