Is only 700k more than World that impressive considering how many times bigger Switch is compared PS4? People always argued World sales were a big flop compared to previous installment, which is always find baseless as World is more expensive and lack the portability but alas this is beyond the point. Both Rise and World are selling less than previous installment, I'm falling to find many third party IPs that are selling more in Japan than they used to 

Monster Hunter 4 was with 4.1mil the best selling Monster Hunter on 3DS and Rise is just below it after it's first year. It'll top it this year without issue.

Btw Story of Seasons: PoOt I think sold more than previous games used to sell but I'm not sure. It had the by far biggest launch of the franchise anyway.

Best selling was actually Freedom 3 on PSP/PS3 (DL) (4.9m) then Generations (4.3m) with Generations being the best selling on a single platform as it only released in Japan with Ultimate (4.4m) being the multiplatform version, Rise will be around 4.1m as we know digital is about 1.8m going by Capcom's comments when they said half of the reported 7.5m in Q2 (FY) last year was from Japan, going by this number and Famitsu's current physical estimate it would put Rise at roughly 4.1m already and that's if digital hasn't moved since then.
