| IcaroRibeiro said: 1) 5mi was the number you provided for Rise, I stated 3,7-3,8 million for World in Japan (PC+digital) as of 2023, the number was 3,5 in November 2020. Remember Rise is is all platforms (PC, Playstation 4 and 5) and World is not on Switch, so the presence of the game on Switch moved a bit over 1 million |
This argument is borderline idiotic. Rise only released on Playstation half a year ago and digital only at that. Rise most likely sold 5mil on Switch alone based on having been at 3.7mil right before the PC release, it's high eshop rankings since then and how well the lower priced sku and the Rise + Sunbreak sku sold since then.
I thought it was at 5mil in Japan before 2022 had even ended. I remember on Installbase some people made some great calculations with the stuff I mentioned above which made it look very likely.
Regardless of all that it seems to be very likely that MHR is the best selling Monster Hunter game ever in Japan, whereas MHW is at best the 4th best selling entry being not only behind MHR, but also behind MHP3rd and MH4 and possibly also behind MHX, but I'm not sure about that one.
