jehurey 3,241 Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 https://www.capcom.co.jp/ir/english/news/html/e211004.html Quote Monster Hunter Rise, winner of the Grand Award, is a Monster Hunter title released in March 2021 for Nintendo Switch. The game was developed to provide a new, accessible Monster Hunter experience that can be enjoyed anytime, anywhere and with anyone. In addition to new monsters and locales, the game provides a completely fresh take on the hunting experience through a host of new, exhilarating hunting actions made possible with the Wirebug as well as with the debut of new "canyne" hunting partners called Palamutes, all of which garnered acclaim from players, resulting in shipments of more than 7.5 million units*1 worldwide. For comparison, Monster Hunter World, released across three platforms back in early 2018, has reached 17 million sales as of May 2021. It took three entire years, across three platforms for them to reach that number. Monster Hunter Rise should probably reach over half of that number before the end of the year.

Hot Sauce 2,734 Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 That's pretty good. Not quite as good as the 8 million copies World did in 2.5 months, but for a side entry in the series that's pretty impressive. Kind of amazing the doors that World has opened for the series. 1 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mr. House 3,371 Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 Impressive but hardly surprising. Perfect game for the Japanese market and the MH series is more popular than ever worldwide. Sales on PC should be pretty good too. This series is just an insane cash cow for Capcom now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

What is surprising about video game sales being front loaded? Are you just unaware that MHR had shipped 7 of the 7.5-million units that this thread is about in its first two months and has shipped 500k over the last 4? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It doesn't make the initial numbers seem very credible if they shipped so few throughout the entire next quarter. It makes it seem like as if the June 30th numbers are simply more accurate.

The June 30th numbers I posted are sold to consumer numbers (including digital). I wasn't disputing if world sold a little faster because it did as it launched on two platforms, was just disputing your "sold" numbers and timeframes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
