As reported by GamesIndustry, it’s now the second biggest launch for the franchise in the region. Monster Hunter Rise’s launch sales are 43% lower than World, though it’s important to remember that Rise is on just one platform and digital data isn’t included.
As another comparison, physical sales are more than twice the size of Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate on 3DS.
