MHW to become the best selling game in the series extremely fast confirmed.I think between MHW and MvC they can hit 7-8m. Not sure where the extra 2-3m is going to come from though
For reference. Capcom's confimed titles this year:
Dai Gyakuten Saiban 2: Naruhodou Ryuunosuke no Kakugo
Disney Afternoon Collection
Dragon's Dogma (PS4/X1)
Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite
Mega Man Legacy Collection 2
Monster Hunter: World
Monster Hunter XX Switch Version
Resident Evil Revelations (PS4/X1)
Ultra Street Fighter II: The Final Challengers
The biggest Monster Hunter games sold a little above 4 million with most of the sales coming from Japan. Monster Hunter World is going to be lucky to sell a million in Japan and the West isn't going to pick up that much slack. For the ports, excluding Monster Hunter XX, they aren't too strong of a seller without discounts. Combined all their announced titles, I can only see 6 million assuming none significantly underperform. I can't see a single title in Capcom's library selling anywhere near 4 million aside from a main RE.Seems kinda doable? With Disney Aftertoon, Megaman Legacy, Revelations 1 remaster, USF2 on switch, and 4-5 million for monster hunter world alone. If they have one other big title(resident evil revelations 3, maybe? DMC5?) then they could do it.
adorable
marvel is going to fucking bomb and it's all their fault. shout out to marvel as well for being assholes re: x-men and fastastic 4

The whole point of this game is to bring Monster Hunter to the western market.
It will probably do over 2 million (Tri did almost 2 million), but there's no way it's clearing Portable 3rd numbers.
Monster Hunter World
Marvel vs Capcom Infinite
Devil May Cry 5
Resident Evil 2 Remake
Could easily mount to 8 million if all make this financial year, and that's while under performing, which leave:
Monster Hunter XX switch
Dragon's Dogma remaster
Disney Afternoon collection
Mega Man Legacy Collection 2
The Great Ace Attorney 2
And maybe Super SFV and some Switch ports
For 2.3 million, sound very reasonable! ;p
This pulling 10 million seems like a stretch. 7 million at most.
Still calling Marvel selling like shit.
Here's the thing: I'm pretty certain Capcom's gonna use World as the basis for a portable game. That's their traditional model for Monster Hunter before the 4th generation. You make the home console game, then you make a portable version.The problem is Capcom always risks what they're good at and end up losing big.
Monster Hunter is a portable phenomenon in Japan? Lets risk that to make a Western focused console MH
It's going to be this.
RUMOR: Super Street Fighter V is happening; free update for existing owners
A lot of people are going to double due to them not buying the season pass or lost interested in the first year it came out. This would be the easiest way to get the full package including DLC Characters, Stages, and some costumes.
Let's do it.Here comes Deep Down.
Does the Western market even care about Monster Hunter? I dont see that game doing over 2 million.
MHW isn't what will be problematic, MvC will.I don't see it selling that much after the tepid reaction and the fact DBFZ stole all the hype.
Where are all these DMC5 comments coming from? There's no way they would release that big of a game without hyping it up at e3.
Is RE2 further along development than assumed maybe?
The thing about MVCI is that it might luck out with the casual/MVC audience.
The only thing I can tell you is about something thats already out in the public. Resident Evil 2, a remade version, the game, will be out from Capcom soon.
Namco's doing the DBZ Beta right before it comes out. They want to kill MVC:I dead.
And honestly? They have a good shot at it.
From an article from June, Hiroyuki Kobayashi said the following about REmake 2:
http://www.playstationlifestyle.net/2017/06/18/resident-evil-2-remake-out-soon/#5c6fjl5sX3K3o5xQ.99
They do have a chance to screw them over but the actual game releases are months apart and MVCI and DB fans aren't exactly one and the same.
