Curious Noctis. The timing of this pack. There's also this:

Capcom stock is currently -11.87% with one hour of trading to go in Tokyo.

Reason: Merrill Lynch Japan lowered the target price from 2,800 to 2,300 yen yesterday, and downgraded Capcom stock to "underperform", with Monster Hunter World sales cited as being a "risk".

Not trying to say anything with this perse, just that it is pretty interesting considering our conversation two weeks ago.

So MHW underperforming in the eyes of investors and/or analysts? Even though the PS4 version alone is the third bestselling in the series without even including digital?

I don't know, but that sounds even more illogical than the massive sale of Nintendo stock the last months
