Capcom’s Monster Hunter XX has already smashed the 1m mark in Japan, according to the latest data from Famitsu, prompting a 138 per cent rise in New Nintendo 3DS LL sales compared to the previous week. Nintendo’s 2DS and New 3DS also saw a sales lift last week, growing 36 and 80 per cent week-on-week respectively.
The latest entry in the Monster Hunter series, which is an expanded version of 2016’s Monster Hunter Generations on 3DS (known simply as Monster Hunter X in Japan), sold a massive 1,014,584 units in its first week on shelves – an impressive feat considering it only launched on March 18th, a day before Famitsu’s charts closed.
