MHW is PS4 exclusive in Japan and it sold just under 1.6 million physical copies. Assuming it has a 10% digital attachment rate, it will bring total Japanese sales to about 1.75 million. However, considering that we're talking about shipments, not sold-through numbers, Japanese shipments may be up to 2 million.
For the sake of the argument, let's just say MHW shipped 1.75 million in Japan. That leaves 4.25 million for the rest of the world. We know that the platform split was 72% PS4 and 38% in the UK for the first week. We know that platform splits for Japanese games and JRPGs heavily skew towards the PS4 in continental Europe and MHW is also PS4 exclusive in Asia. The best scenario for the XB1 in the WW - Japan platform splits, in my opinion, is 80% PS4 and 20% XB1. That would put the XB1 version shipments at 0.85 million.

Monster hunter in Japan sold out week 1. Week 2 95% sell through.. There's nowhere near that sitting on shelves.. Plus digital should be around 20% because of shortages..

We have an actual number for Japanese shipments. According to this Tweet, 60% of the 6 million shipments are outside of Japan. That means 40% of the shipments, or 2.4 million, come from Japan alone and is effectively and exclusively the PS4 version.
Capcom. "Monster Hunter: About 60% of overseas sales at the time of shipment of 6 million copies worldwide."
