Some minor corrections. The 2m in Japan is shipped + digital. We know that the shipment wasn't huge and that there is veyr little unsold stock.

<Corrected to shipped from sold, resending>

Capcom CFO, on 5 million copies in 3 days for "Monster Hunter: World":
-60% of that for outside Japan
-about 30% of that done digitally
-Capcom itself very surprised of strong sales
-Cannot gauge yet how much more it would sell by Mar

I'd predict a digital ratio in the 20s for now.

Oh I see, it was shipped. But if the game was sold out everywhere on Day 1, that wouldn't matter right?
But I guess we'll have to await further numbers for clarification.

Correct. It experienced a very high sell through and several retailers had trouble keeping stock in. However, you'd see that same thing with any game that has a 90% sell through. Still would leave 100k+ on shelves across the entirety of the country.
