a couple million, maybe a little more than 2. I do not really have faith in this new type to kill it because there already are loads of open world 'kill monsters' type games. The formula that destroys for Monster Hunter is portable and LOCAL online. I am not sure this will translate that well.
I mean if Horizon Zero Dawn is at like 3 million after being out for months I'm entirely uncertain if something like Monster Hunter World will come close to that, even if on more platforms, because it is unlikely to be as widely appealing to Western audiences.
time will tell. To a stranger to the series all the trailer basically looked like was scavenging around an island with some dinosaurs and fighting them. I don't know if that's compelling enough. It also didn't look mega polished.
for it to be incredibly successful I think it needs to end up offering a lot more, we'll see
