Forums - Sales Discussion - Japan sales (Week 4): Media Create/Famitsu/Dengeki - January 22-28, 2018 (Monster Hunter World Week)

dbfighterz comes out the week after monster hunter



Around the Network

I wonder how long it will take Switch to outsell PS4 lifetime in Japan? My guess is that if Pokemon does release this year it will before the 2018 holiday season

Amazing first week for Monster Hunter, the Monster Hunter series is finally back home where it belongs!!!

Without a doubt I could see this game becoming the biggest home console game of this generation!!

great numbers for monster hunter and ps4, hope for a good second week

Strong numbers. Unfortunately PS4 Monster Hunter Bundles are sold out in many stores. the retail (disc-)version too.

Fantastic sales for Monster Hunter World, it did much better than most people expected it to do . PS4 sales are incredible too.

That's right, much better. 140,000 PS4 consoles in one week, impressive.



Seems like Capcom made the right decision with Monster hunter world. They hit the jackpot.

Poor Nanatsu no Taizai.. getting wrecked so bad by Gintama..

It's a big ole flop. I don't think that it was a good genre for the game to be, but even then, it's not very good sales. Especially considering that the 3DS games did decently.

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."
