I'm glad you're finally getting the gist of it. But it's still not a proper comparison. While FF games choose to be on the most powerful platform of the current gen, MH chose the by far weakest platform. Which means that even at the time of release it had terrible graphics, which wasn't true for any FF main game.

People will be sure to remind you that PS1 was weaker than N64 and PS2 was weaker than GC and Xbox. Besides PC of course.

But still I don't remember a game that could have impressed me more graphically at the time than FF IX and later one FF X and even FF XIII

I know. Doesn't change the fact though that every single main line FF game had some of the best graphics of that generation. Because FF devs have always been fucking graphic whores.

And that made me a FF whore =p

I just simply love the presentation of FF games. So even though I don't care much about JRPG, I get very into FF.

Any info about ratio? 85% PS4 / 15% Xbox ?

Im guessing it’ll be around 80-20 in ps4 favour simply because of Europe and Japan where the PS4-Xbox gap is just massive.

i don’t think we will find out for sure till next week though.

In the immortal words of Don King, "Only on Playstation could a MHW happen." Or something like that.

80:20 is way too low. Even if we're generous and say that X1 has a share of 30:70 in the west and we say that half of the WW sales are from Japan, we're still left with a ratio of 85:15.

I'd say WW it may very well be 90:10 if not higher.

When you said to low, I was thinking you were talking about the 20%, but now it makes sense.

Many Japanese stores taking pre orders for a new shipment tomorrow. Looks like the initial allocation wasn't big enough.

5m is a great milestone, but it's not sales yet. So, it's not success yet.

Don't get me wrong, I bet it will be a success, but not quite yet. I want to see sales numbers, specially Japanese sales



God bless You.

My Total Sales prediction for PS4 by the end of 2021: 110m+

When PS4 will hit 100m consoles sold: Before Christmas 2019

The game is pretty much sold-out everywhere though. At least the first shipment. Most retailers are waiting for new shipments. I'm starting to think it can sell as high as 10mln LT including the PC version.

For Capcom they are sales and money and since stores are asking for newer shipments, most of it is also sell through.
