Thanks!!

It was 7 million in May. So it took 4 months to sell an additional half a million. MH Rise might just leg it out to 8.5 million on switch alone. Unless Capcom decides to release the base Rise on PC before Sunbreak. That might cut off its legs maybe?

I actually doubt that Rise on PC cuts a lot of users out. The PC version will mostly sell to people not owning a Switch.

True, but there's probably a not insignificant number of latecomers that may me swayed to go PC. Hopefully Capcom would heavily discount the switch version to counteract this.

Rise is due to come to PC before the release of Sunbreak, but I don't think that will cut the game's long terms sales on Switch any more than the PC release of a PS/Xbox game would. In the end different people just have different platform preferences, and some continue to choose Switch over PC. I certainly don't see it selling less than 8.5 million lifetime on Switch.

Platform splits is also dependent on how a game is marketed. It helps that most of the marketing so far highlights the switch version. We'll also have to see how Capcom markets the expansion.
