Wilds's quality is partly to blame, but Capcom conditioned gamers to buy their stuff dirt cheap. RE9 (the best received original RE since RE4) also quickly got outpaced by older RE's and even Devil May Cry 5 lol.

Are you saying that MHWilds hasn’t performed well commercially? From everything I can see, it’s well on pace to match or surpass the other most recent MH games, which were already major hits. 12M in less than two years is no small potatoes, especially with the price tag Capcom has been selling the game at.

The things is that the vast bulk of its sales came from its huge launch, whereas sales fell off a cliff after this to the point where it's getting outsold in recent quarters even by the 5+ year old Rise and nearly decade-old World.

As Kyuu says, this is partly cos Capcom's trained gamers to wait for the games to go on sale, but also the game just isn't as well liked as Rise or World due to its controversial design choices.
