Monster Hunter X

Since Monster Hunter X is only out in Japan at the moment, there aren’t a whole lot of reviews floating around for the game. Famitsu did share one in a recent issue, however. Monster Hunter X earned “9’s” from four different editors for a total score of 36 out of 40.

Media Create’s latest report had Monster Hunter X at nearly 1.5 million unit sold. As it turns out, the game sold through 91.84 percent of its initial shipment. Media Create also says that pre-orders were at 936,000 copies.

The game has already managed to surpass Monster Hunter 4G (Ultimate in the west) on the Japanese 3DS eShop. That means X’s lifetime digital sales are already above it in a matter of three days.
