Capcom's MonsterHunter World is selling like crazy. How crazy? Well, the gamemanaged to break a serious record for the company just weeks after making itsway onto the marketplace both as a physical release at retail and as a digitalrelease for the Xbox One and PS4.

According to Gamespot Monster Hunter World hasshipped 6 million units within the span of poker w88 two weeks, managing to break therecord as Capcom's fastest moving title... ever. This accounts for digitalsell-throughs and retailer shipped units. The actual divide between which ofthose come from for digital purchases and which of them come from for physicalpurchases aren't entirely clarified, but we do know that within three daysCapcom managed to ship 5 million units of Monster Hunter World.

The really crazy part here is that the game hasn't even launched on PC yet.While some people might think that the PC doesn't play that big a role in agame's sales, keep in mind that the biggest selling game of 2017 was PUBGCorporation's PlayerUnknown'sBattlegrounds, which moved more than 27 million units on PC alone,making it the biggest selling game of 2017 across a single platform. The BattleRoyale survival title later came out for the Xbox One and moved 3 millionadditional units.

However, it's important to never discount the power of PC. Gamers also poniedup lots of cash to either buy for the first time or re-buy Rockstar Games andTake-Two Interactive's PC rendition of GTA V just for theextra graphical options and to use mods with the game. From April 2015 toFebruary 2018 Rockstar managed to move 9.7 million units of GTA V on PC alone,according to Steam Spy. So there's a massive market there in the PCmarket.

For Monster HunterWorld, the game won't be available on PC until this fall, butCapcom obviously doesn't need to worry about rushing given that the game ismoving massive amounts of units in a very short amount of time on the Xbox Oneand PS4.

The last time a major Monster Hunter gamewas made available for consoles was MonsterHunter Tri for the Wii and PS3, which was a decent entry inthe series but obviously wasn't as much of a priority to Capcom as the handheldversions for the Nintendo 3DS.

As mentioned in the article, this newest game is the first time a online slots malaysia major MonsterHunter game has been released as a priority for home consolesin a long time. Previously there was Monster Hunter Frontier forthe seventh gen consoles, but there was always regional problems, scatteredreleases, and some form of restrictions here or there that made it difficultfor gamers to get into the game.

Now that Capcom has put the eighth-gen twins front and center for the MonsterHunter franchise, it's obvious just how big this series couldbe on home consoles if Capcom continues to foster its growth in a responsibleway. The game 138bet malaysia is available right now for PS4 and Xbox One and will release thisfall for PC via Steam.
