Monster Hunter World keeps at the top of the PS4 digital ranking in Japan, while Shadow of the Colossus and Dragon's Crown Pro have disappointing debuts.
VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "While it was a mixed pleasure overall - at times exhilarating, at others agonizing - I would have to say I enjoyed my time with Monster Hunter: World and found it to be surprisingly addicting. It wouldn’t be wrong to say that I was surprised by how little had changed from previous titles, given how this particular entry took the series to unheard levels of popularity, but while it retains both positives and negatives from them, at the very least it’s a stellar-looking game that brings more freedom to the hunt than any of its predecessors (Monster Hunter Rise could possibly be a different story, but that, my friends, is a game for another article)."
Capcom Co., Ltd. (Capcom) today announced that Monster Hunter: World has sold over 25 million units* worldwide.
Zachary M. Cain said: Shadow of the Colossus is hailed as one of the best action-adventure titles of its time. The game was originally released for the PlayStation 2 all the way back in 2005. It was so good in fact, it got a remastered version in 2018 for the PlayStation 4 and was well received by old and new fans alike. Let’s revisit this iconic classic in 2024 and see how well it holds up to its past reputation.
Fumito Ueda’s & George Kamitani’s games aren’t known to be huge sellers, they’re just really well known.
MH is a Japanese titan. No real challengers to it apart from Pokemon or DQ
Dragon’s Crown and SotC are remakes/re-releases, so their sales can be very hard to predict. Also releasing near such a huge title like MHW doesn’t help matters.
That said, I’ll be buying Dragon’s Crown day 1 when it releases here in Australia as it’s my favourite Vita game and one of my favourite PS3 games.
I just hope there’s a separate trophy list as I have the Platinum for the PS3/PSV.
This game is great.. Already have around 115 hours in and havent even completed the main story line.. Ive been playing with a lot of people from japan picking up their techniques along the way.. Im sure this game is going to sell like crazy out there.. Hopefully in the west it keeps up the momentum too so we can see sequels.. The franchise has been gone from playstation for too long.. It needed to be made with modern console power
