UK:Monster Hunter: World week 1 sales in the UK are far higher any other Monster Hunter release

[Noobie]

It’s been exactly a year since Capcom scored a No1 on the All Formats Entertainment Software Chart (Resident Evil 7: Biohazard) and the publisher does it again, with the first simultaneous worldwide release for a Monster Hunter title – ‘Monster Hunter: World’ for PS4/Xbox One debuts at No1 with far higher week 1 sales in the UK than any other Monster Hunter release.

The series dates back to 2005’s ‘Monster Hunter’ for PS2 and the title that charted highest until now was 2016’s 3DS ‘Monster Hunter Generations’ which debuted at No3 in week 28, 2016.

Split:

72% PS4
28% XBO

Range:

If anyone wants a reference, it's nearly 4x higher than MH4 Ultimate opening.

Using a 4x multiplier, that puts it at 67k-93k from what we know of MH4U (physical only, I presume).
