It obviously did more than that now though. That was the sales at EOY 2018. A ~3.5m sale estimate for Japan is pretty conservative considering the legs of games in the series.

Then give us a source showing 3.5m because I've linked both Famitsu's numbers 2018 numbers and Media Creates 2019 sales and the total is 2.9m up to date so far yet you and him are claiming 3.5m with out any source.

There is no official source for MH World numbers in Japan past EOY 2018. It was 2.9m physical + digital according to Capcom.

If you look at Media Create's Top 1000 for 2019, you can add up the various MH World SKUs (and not counting the Iceborne SKU that was sold by itself) to an additional 556,574 physical sales. That doesn't include any digital sales for the entirety of the year. Capcom hasn't provided a regional breakdown since their quarterly results at Q3 of that fiscal year. So we'll never know the precise digital sales to get a full picture (Despite it being a consistent top seller on JP PSN). If you look at the data we have, 3.5m would be a very conservative estimate.
