3.2 million.

Will at the very least sell a couple 100k on PC, perhaps nearly a million on the PS4 in Japan alone, factor in some extra western growth. Sure.

I think Monster Hunter is going to be very succesful on PC. My guess for now would be something like this:

PS4 - 1.4m

PC - 0.9m

XBO - 0.35m

How on earth do you expect PS4 sales to be so low? What would be your regional breakdown of that?

Our definitions of very succesful differ. It is far behind PSP- and 3DS-era MonHun. It would mark a sharp decline and spell doubt about the future of the series.

I have no idea on a region breakdown as Capcom seem to want to attract a higher amount of western gamers to the series with this entry and I'm not too sure how succesful that will be.

But currently for a total sales breakdown this is my instinct, it may certainly outperform my current expectations.

But if you want to direct a question about a low prediction there's plenty in here that've predicted 2m or even less across all platforms. :P

When I say "successful on PC" I mean it'll do a lot better on that platform then most people seem to think.

OK, near to a million is strongly above my expectations, so I see the thruth in your words.

3.5m +

 

PS4: 1.6m Japan- 2.7m worldwide (not including digital)

PC + X1: 800k worldwide. (including digital)

I think close to you.

PS4: 1.5 M - 1.5M West
PC+X1: 600k (Steam Sales in couple years might boost the numbers to like 800K)

I think anything lower might be a bit of a disappointment for the franchise.

3 - 3.5 million.



OTBWY on 28 September 2017

I believe it could sell 4 million in total.

I think it's going to struggle, because people who play games on PlayStation 4 have enough games to play already thanks to the fantastic offerings from PlayStation Plus.

It's going to be competing against hundreds and hundreds of big games.
