Seems even Capcom underestimated Monster Hunter Rise, unless there were other factors limiting how many physical copies they could distribute.
How does this compare to the openings for other major Switch games in Japan, how many big first party titles did it beat?

Beat Smash, lost to Pokemon and AC. Nothing else sold >1m.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons	Nintendo	1,880,626
Pokemon Sword/Shield	Pokemon Co.	1,364,544
Monster Hunter Rise	Capcom	1,302,132
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate	Nintendo	1,238,358

Nice, so it's the third biggest opening for any Switch game in Japan so far, and very close to #2.

Seeing a third party game open bigger than the likes of Splatoon 2 or Smash is really something.
