Monster Hunter World: Iceborne Ships 4 Million Units Globally [Monster Hunter: World ships 15 million units globally]
- Thread starter ggx2ac
- Start date
All of those posts about a "real" MH5 on handheld and folks saying Capcom not using 5 in the title as a safe way to fall back on a numerical entry are embarrassing. Even in the face of outright denial when the producer plainly stated that World is the 5th gen MH.
That one thread which assumed MHXX was immediately superior to World simply on the basis of having more monsters aged terribly.
Everyone said to wait for the G-Rank equivalent update, and Iceborne since release speaks for itself. It's overall monster list is comparable to the numbers that MH4U has, and will likely exceed that number considering future updates.
well deserved, still need to play Iceborne. Capcom has been knocking it out of the park these recent years and i hope that continues for a very long time
That would be this game.
In fact, this game is the best selling Capcom game ever.
If only their fighting game department got their shit together too.
The best selling one before World was like 4-5 million, this destroyed everything.
people seem pretty happy with how SFV has shaped up over the years, no? not into fighting games myself so i don't really follow. they need to get them right at launch next time
4 years and they still haven't fixed online play. The netcode is basically giving rollback a bad name.
Let's not get started on Marvel Infinite.
Netcode sucking doesnt mean much in fighting games when everything from Japan has bad netcode. Thats like saying smash ultimate sucks because of the netcode. MVCI is also a completely different issue with way more into it lol. Netcode aside the game has been doing super well especially after the rough launch it had. Heck even Harada himself said the game was doing well.

My 2019 playtime from the Sony year-end wrap up thread:
Very few played more Monster Hunter than me in 2019, and that doesn't even include 2018 when it came out.
Oh, it's working properly now :D
Thank you lord Capcom, I guess. :D
I suspect a good portion of G sales in the past were people who skipped vanilla. Not that I have any data to back that up.

On it's last legianas
Back to the topic.. maybe this will change with the next gen.. right now playing MHW on PC is on another level.. just to have 60 fps it's a blessing and makes gameplay so much better. Also you can swap graphic options so the far superior version is PC right now and if you like it m/kb is another option to play.
Next Gen could bring 60 fps to MHW so maybe then it's going to a be a more fair fight.
Also I would love to see crossplay in the future.. that would be gold in a game like this.
Unless there is something I don't remember, this is the best selling Japanese third party game ever.
IIrc the last mainline title, Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate sold around 4 millions, with majority of sales came from Japan (only 1 millions-ish came from West). If we count the Japanese-exclusive vanilla Monster Hunter 4, then the total is around 8 million-ish.
Keep the war going man! Consoles need more warriors like you.
Also, amazing for MHW. What a fucking fantastic game.
I'm actually a big Ninetndo fan. I'm just pointing out what I witnessed.
Thanks for assuming though.
This thing is busted, it has my top game as Destiny 2 at 600 hours with MHW at 200 when I haven't touched D2 past the first 2 months it came out and my MH save is at 1400h. D:

Lol pretty much, your top 3 and my top 2 are all Capgod by far time wise. Anyone who tells you Capcom isn't back is lying to you.
Less loading is my number one request. With SSDs, that will be less of an issue.
MHW2 is probably my most anticipated next gen game.
Absolutely amazing dlc sales for MHW. I 100% did not think this game would do this well. I thought its lifetime would be 10 million. but hot damn even the dlc alone is almost halfway to that number!
With an SSD loading is like 5 seconds on PC. It'll be great when consoles have similar performance.
Not holding my breath for 60fps on consoles. Maybe PC won't be second class citizens next time.
Congrats to Capcom. This game has surpassed even the most optimistic people's expectations, or even hopes. Well deserved, too. The G expansion has cemented it as my favorite MH of all time (which used to be MH4U).

Get out with this atittude. I am so tired of the way some MH fans in this forum acts towards the handheld games. World is successful you dont need to act like handheld MH is something that shouldn't coexist with it.
Wait...wow.
Is this really true lol
I'm trying to think of other stuff...hm
Is there a number for every SKU of FF7 combined?
Next gen Monster Hunter World 2 is going to be insane. I can't even fathom how it will look on the RE engine.
No LEGiana reference is disappointing, Era.
This is old news.
We are talking about Shrieking LEGiana now
SSD will be a game changer for this game on Sony consoles. Loading guiding lands sucks and takes forever.

Yes there is, it is at 12.3m.
Monster Hunter World outsold it and outsold Street Fighter 2.
I think the only Japanese games ever to sell better than this game are Nintendo games.
It won't stop here too, I guess it is headed to be the first Japanese third party title to hit 20m.
Don't hold your breath. Capcom's MH team have this philosophy of making assets and reusing them for the next 10 - 15 years. They practically milked their PS2 assets for 4 MH generations.
They probably will be more careful now with handling the franchise with how huge it became, and going by how Iceborne is handled I think they get it, they just need to make sure PC version will be ready for launch as well.
Also I wonder how this crazy rise of popularity will affect the sales of a Switch game (if it happens) in the future.
PS5 version of MH World 2 is going to be something else, especially if its next gen only.
MH is screaming for an amazing cpu and ssd.
