Can't know its legs split on individual platforms especially on Playstation (which only shows the top 20 and has its sales spread out between two relevant consoles), and not releasing a physical version was a mistake. But it's safe to say its not passing 2-4 million copies across PS and Xbox combined, likely much closer to 2 million than 4 (80-90% of which on PS). MHW (on 3 platforms and no Switch version) will end up outselling MHR (on 6 platforms and a bigger PC install base, since the minimum requirements are lower than World's) by 6-9 million. MHW was one of the biggest surprises in gaming history, catapulting the series from C to A-tier. Rise has no historic significance, and largely owes its success to World. Hopefully World wasn't a one-hit wonder and its true successor would achieve similar results. |
Launch on Xbox and ps ( with Steam and switch promotion and selling well) 11,7 million. So only switch and pc was 11,7 million in December 2022. Launching on the new platforms was in January 20, 2023. So Switch and Steam have good promotions until the same day.
13.2 -11.7 =1.5 million with all the consoles.
2 million is a wrong overestimate. Only way was Nintendo/Steam had negative sales.
The best case scenario was o,5 million to Microsoft/Sony and then equal numbers until then.
1,0-1,2 to new consoles in best case scenario.
