How much do you expect it to sell on each platform.

3m on PC minimum.

Assuming the port isn't broken.
Batman: Arkham Knight, has almost sold 1.5 million on PC, so yeah.

There seems to be a real hunger for a Monster Hunter title on PC, this is our first real chance.
Sales on PC could go much higher than 3mil if the right conditions are met.

If Monster Hunter: World catches the eyes of the modding community, well yeah.
If the port is very well done, the game could become a benchmarking title for PC media outlets.


The PS4 version will probably sell about 5 - 6 million units.
Xbox: 1.5 - 4 (depending on how well the game takes off in the west).

I'm a bit more skeptical on PC sales. I would like to see the region distribution of those 5m first. If 4m of those are from Japan I don't see it doing 3m on PC WW. To succeed on PC it will have to succeed in the west first.
