Aaand there it is.
I'll say 2 million in Japan for World.
Obviously nowhere near the numbers it would do on a handheld, (4 sold over 4 million in Japan on 3DS, http://www.capcom.co.jp/ir/english/finance/million.html) but still good given the circumstances.
But if Capcom is expecting this game to do similar numbers everywhere else to make it the best selling Monster Hunter, then they better start pushing this game hard. VERY hard. Like... NOW.
Edit: Have preorders opened in the States, yet?
