Personally, I'd prefer a Xenogears remake or a new Batan Kaitos entry.

But...licensing concerns...and all that jazz.

Edit: Xenogears, not Xenoblade. sigh I need some coffee.

That could be for Xenoblade 3... But it could equally be for the fantasy type game they teased (which itself could have possibly been a new Xenoblade, but it didn’t look that way). The author is making the assumption it’s for Xenoblade 3 without considering any other possibility.

MH World: 5 million shipped in 3 days across 2 platforms
MH Rise: 4 million shipped in 3 days on 1 platform

It’s also being said the JP physical-only opening week sales (for first 2 days tracked) will break Animal Crossing’s record at around 1.8 million. Compare to MH4U at 1.45 million and MH World at 1.35 million.

FE1 localization has re-entered the UK eshop charts for the first time since December because of the delisting (currently at 25th). 3D All Stars is at 9th being high up again because of the delisting. Meanwhile SMB35 is 2nd in the free games rankings (only behind Apex Legends).

It's already the best selling 3rd party game. Just from launch sales alone.

It for sure will be the 2nd best selling MH of all time. I don't think it'll top World's sales... but it's gonna come reasonably close despite only being Switch and, later on, PC. I think it'll do 8 million on Switch alone once everything is said and done. Usually games manage to double their launch numbers over time.

IF the PC release can also do 6 million like it did for World, we could see comparable sales to World (14m vs 16m).

But at the very worst, we can expect MH Rise to do 12 million across Switch and PC. Which, even that is flipping phenomenal, and will ensure hybrid portable MH games continue for generations to come.

@JaxonH Dang, I remember people in this thread saying MH Rise would probably be between 2-3 mil in sales and other people suggesting that was to optimistic. This game could easily break 10 mil lifetime as a third party Nintendo game, that's basically unheard of.

I swear people on this forum spend more time looking at chart postions and project their own sales estimates than actually playing and talking about games ;p

I was expecting the UK charts article to be about MH Rise's success (it's #1) but instead it was about 3D All Stars getting delisted.

I do think it's a very good thing that Nintendo Life is constantly warning people about the delisting though and I hope Push Square does the same if Sony officially announces the closure of the PS3/PSP/Vita stores that has been heavily rumoured recently. A huge shame it has to happen in the first place.

For sure. The game was never going to just do 2-3 million. Even previous 3DS entries did more than that. And every other NSW game I’m aware of has outperformed corresponding 3DS entries. So it had a floor of 5m, bare minimum. My estimate was 7m. Which I think is going to be pretty close when everything is said and done. It does seem it’s going to do a little better than I had anticipated which is fantastic news. And who knows, If it continues going viral and selling with long legs, it very well could break 10m on Switch. I still think that’s a bit of a longshot, but it’s starting to seem as if it’s actually possible.

@jump
I assume you’re referring to me, but given I put 40 hours into the demo alone and already another 20 into the game, while I’ve only spent maybe 3 minutes talking about sales. ya... that’s just not true... at all.

And it doesn’t take looking at charts. It’s making headlines on all the news sites, and it’s relevant news to discuss. Everyone talked about MH World’s massive success when that game released- we’re not going to suddenly ignore MH Rise now.

It was more of a general observation on the forum as a whole and sparked specifically by the 6 posts in front of mine in this thread commenting on charts and sales figures rather than anything in particular from you.

But yeah games good, people should play games ;p

@jump Feel like Grumblevolcano and Giancarlothomaz are the worst perpetrators here It’s rare I hear their actual opinions when a proportion of their posts are links to articles here, and charts.

Quality over quantity for most part is what I do when I post. Hence... essay posts. Though one liners are fun.

@JaxonH I didn’t mention you because... you covered that already, you’ve played the game a lot and have formed a very informed opinion.

MHR is certainly going to blow past the 5 million lifetime sales I guesstimated, lol.

It probably won't get past World (even with the PC release) but clearly it has sold well.

Well done, Capcom.

So am I, but for two reasons.

The first and most important, is that it ensures we will continue to get AAA Monster Hunter titles on the Switch successor. Had this game not been worthwhile for them, they may have deemed the budget and effort unwarranted, and cut back on the next entry, which would have been a shame.

The second reason is so I don’t have to listen to the “newer fans”, let’s just say, gloating about how MH will never go back to Nintendo because it can’t do big numbers like World. It was aggravating enough hearing that kind of talk for the first few years of Switch’s lifespan. If Rise failed to do big numbers, it would just embolden them all over again, and I’m tired of hearing it.
