Capcom have released their financial results for the past year, which have shown numerous success, including the “social phenomenon” that is Monster Hunter 4.
Elsewhere praise is heaped on Resident Evil Revelations HD, Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Dual Destinies and Ducktales Remastered. The highlighted sales figures included Monster Hunter 4 which managed 4,000,000 – an impressive number considering it was only released on one platform. Resident Evil Revelations HD also managed to sell 1,100,000, but this was spread across four platforms.
Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate has been discounted to $16.33 on 3DS and $19.79 on Wii U. Also on sale are Monster Hunter 4 ($28.99) as well as the upcoming Monster Hunter Generations ($31.99 for Amazon Prime members).
Check out a gallery of images for the epic-looking figure, designed by Final Fantasy's Tetsuya Nomura.
Monster Hunter X sold 1,542,104 units within its first two days of sale in Japan, according to a Famitsu report. The number includes retail copies, download cards, and the Monster Hunter X Special Pack. (It does not, however, include sales of the download version through the eShop.)
Additionally, 3DS hardware (including 3DS LL, New 3DS, and New 3DS LL) moved a total 133,628 units, compared to the previous week’s 33,203 units.
Here’s Monster Hunter X‘s launch numbers compared to previous big 3DS titles:
(Note: These are all according to Famitsu sales numbers.)
Pokemon X and Y – 2,096,050
Monster Hunter 4 – 1,875,115
Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate – 1,617,949
Monster Hunter X – 1,542,104
I hope so too, but judging from past titles we'll be waiting for the ultimate version before they decide to localize it.
good to see strong console software sales come out of japan.
Yes, That means that One Kid You Knew in Elementary School's uncle at Nintendo will still have a job! ;)
When Monster Hunter gets made for a non-Nintendo console I'll be more interested. I'd be much happier with a PS4/Xbone version with fully integrated online play.
There will be a MH online that runs on CryEngine 3. I also hope this one makes it here.

This is still the close beta and it looks amazing.
I hope it comes back to a PS console, been waiting since MHFU (Freedom Unite). I'd prefer the PS4 over the Vita.
Of course you would be. I mean why support Nintendo, when you can be the cool kid on the block and be Anti-Nintendo?
Anti-Nintendo has nothing to do with it. The PS4 and Xbone are more powerful machines with a much more robust and friendly online service. It opens up the game to a significantly wider audience while also allowing for an improvement in quality.
@BranWheatKillah - fair enough, I was only joking. The fact that you said a non-Nintendo console made it seem like you had other motives. If the NX is more powerful than the PS4, then is there a problem with playing it on that machine?
@BranWheatKillah
those wider audiences rather
play CoD, Madden, NBA, GTA, Assassin Creed, Need For Speed, FiFa and all the other popular western games.
