Monster Hunter X sells 3mil by Dec 24th  (digital+japan) (600k is digital)

Yeah Yeah! 

Shipped obviously but still. Beats the forecast of 2.7mil by end of March! 

I am glad that capcom have a few franchises that still generate money.

They can add at least one more sale when this comes westward!

That's pretty wild. Seems like the fanbase really isn't getting tired of these games yet. And 20% digital too...nice....

Where does 600k digital come from?

I can't copy the link. It's on the Mc thread (gaf) 

Edit: mistake

The poster on NeoGAF seems to be confusing sell in and sell through. 

The Press Release from Capcom states that the 3 million total includes sell in of Packaged Software, Digital Downloads & Download Cards. 

Media Create only track Packaged Software unit sales to end users and therefore is not an accurate way of measuring sales from digital download. 

Anyway, this is good news for Capcom as they have beat the Fiscal Year forecast for Monster Hunter X. There was a lot of discussion among retailers in Japan regarding the impact that Monster Hunter X would have and it was decided fairly early on that Monster Hunter X would not perform like a mainline game and instead would see much lower sales. It seems that retailers were wrong on this one and Monster Hunter X has seen strong sell through numbers which in turn has strengthened the 'Monster Hunter' brand. 

Awesome. Now can we get the game over here?

Yaaaaaass

But its on the wrong platform!!! Don't they know everyone wants an expensive to make ps4 monster hunter?
