I think this is quietly becoming a distinct possibility, especially knowing that the game is coming to PC later down the line (thanks to the leaks). The Switch has sold more than the PS4 had at the time Monster Hunter: World launched; it seems likely that Rise will take the crown for best-selling in the series' history in Japan.
We've seen software sales for Switch games absolutely blow up, and attach rate is incredibly high. I wasn't sure if Rise could somehow beat Monster Hunter: World's sales total, but at this point, I can't help but consider it could happen. What do you think, Era?
It's worth noting - even before Monster Hunter: World blew up in the west, Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate still managed to sell over a million copies in the west. So there *is* a dedicated audience for the series on Nintendo systems in the west.
