Capcom says it shipped "over 2 million". Until we know what "over 2 million" actual is, the digital sales figure can't be guessed at other than saying 150k is the lowest it could be. But it could be 250k or 350k...we just don't know until Capcom gives a more specific figure than the ambiguous "over 2 million". |
But we've seen Capcom get much more specific. The general rule is that they announce the highest possible number and has shown this with their previous reporting of shipping information (look at DmC shipping 1.1 million). I was being very generous with my 150k statement. There are still copies available on shelves, so you have to factor that as well.

those copies could be just as well the new shipment

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

Which would mean that the number of digital sales is even lower. That was the point of my first post, I'm very interested to see the digital ratio for such a large title.

depends when the statement was written, could be initial shipping info

wait people actually believe that Nintendo didn't pay for Monster Hunter exclusivity?
How do you explain the game not releasing on PSV as well?
If the game had gone multiplat then yeah sure, that would make business sense from Capcom. But exclusive to a new platform that the game has never been on before? Uhm yeah.
That would be a very odd decision from Capcom.
But then again looking at the numbers this week....with 3DS having a huge % of the market...the decision to go exclusive doesn't look that bad. But still the game would have sold at least a million on the PSV in addition to 3DS sales. That's a lot of lost revenue.
I don't think its possible for anyone to reasonably argue that Nintendo didn't pay for it. It was a good move by Nintendo imo, I don't see why people are trying to make as if that didn't happen.

They sent out a press release stating, "Monster Hunter 4 managed to move 2 million copies “as early as the fourth day” after its launch".

It's ok, we get it, let's just downgrade the sales as much as possible... Anyways, it managed to outsell P3rd...

If we are to believe Capcom, it's really a matter of timing. MH4 began development right around the time 3DS was revealed, and there was a good amount of hype for the new handheld. Capcom already had plans to bring Street Fighter and Resident Evil to 3DS, so why not another major franchise? Heck, MH3 was even on Wii (though that's because it began development before the series exploded).
But any excuse for not having a single Monster Hunter game on Vita (don't care if it's MH4 or even a port of an older game), however, does not compute.
