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. |
I went back to the MC source and looked up all the MHW listings in the top 1000 on it and to even double I used the search feature on the browser it still doesn't come to 3.5m as the total comes to 111k sold in the year of 2019 which when added to Famitsu's numbers still comes to 2.97m..
When I add Iceborne SKU that actually was sold with MHW the total for MHW including the 111k comes to 554k which when added to 2.8m is 3.3m total your conservative estimate is still above what the given numbers by 200k, 700k if we go by the 4m claim so we'll need a source as Famitsu's numbers include digital, Iceborne in digital is unlikely going to push MHW digital by much as it would mainly be bought by people who already owned MHW. If anything that estimate is showing itself to be not so conservative and realistically how much are top sellers on PSN really selling in the region for all we know that may amount to an extra 10k a year.
