Seems a bit premature to be talking studio closures until we see the full force of putting Xbox games on PS5/Switch 2.

Nobody said anything about closures or lay-offs before that time.

PS and Switch 2 releases will likely be the deciding factor.

 

[Woopah]

So he doesn't provide splits unless it paints Sony in a bad light .. good to know

Also he will be hiding lots of splits in the future since PS5 is DOMINATING

????? That's not what he says at all. Why do you try and twist sales reporting into console wars nonsense?

 

[Mr Moose]

MH Wilds perf vs World in dollar sales

I wish they gave info about sales as well rather than just $.

 

[RetroGamingUK]

Can't believe pc is in such decline RetroGamingUK

PS5 came out in 2020

PC came out in 1981

One has a bigger owner-base.

Your point?

 

[Kacho]

MH World also didn't launch on PC until later that year, Wilds has an additional platform, and that additional platform is where it made most of its money.

Derp on my part. Good call.

I miss the days when we got actual hardware and software unit figures. Was much more interesting.

You never have an argument do you.

I see you, Adam.

Did world have deluxe digital editions at launch? Really hard to read the actual growth, wilds has its deluxe digital editions and a slightly premium steel book , but world had a 150 dollar collectors edition

Man, these Circana threads are something else lately. Brb, gonna grab my popcorn.

I want everyone to pay attention to the behavior of the yellow and red lines over the last year.

Also, totally unrelated question, what is half of 75?

And some folks here consider Zuby a reliable source unironically.

It would be the easiest thing to circumvent though. Just post the results on 4chan or twitter and then quote the 4chan post in your thread. I think 10k is just too steep for hobbyists.

4chan was ~2011-2012 era GAF btw, it ended because NPD follows these types of boards specifically to look for leaks. Same for Twitter in 2016. IIRC it lasted exactly 2 months and then shut down by NPD.

How did it sell on Xbox?

Not before that time yet still thinking it will happen despite the new strat. To me it's weird trying to predict things this early.

No idea, I don't subscribe to Circana's paid reports. If you do, or know someone who does, feel free to share.

 

[Killjoy-NL]

The same was said when early last-gen some expected Xbox going 3rd party because they were going downhill.

Capcom doing so well on PC has this guy in the torture chamber. Saving these screenshots for the next time somebody here unironically uses him as a source.

 

[Kacho]

 

[Woopah]

I'm sure they believe all the positive news about PS5 is disingenuous too.

 

[Neofire]

Can't really remember, but didn't one of the participating console makers, ask NPD to not publicly reveal those numbers?

I believe so, don't remember exactly if it was Sony or Microsoft but considering Microsoft's history of hiding numbers since the Xbox One era I would guess it was them.

 

[Astray]

Why doesn't he just give the full platform splits for the title?

How else is he going to create the engagement he will eventually frown upon and act superior to in a few hours?

 

[EN250]

If Switch failed to pass 161m it's because Nintendo seems to be doing a great job at trying to bury it the moment Switch 2 was announced... that's a mistake, imo.

Nah, people are thirsty for Switch2, it's gonna sell massively whenever it launches

 

[HeWhoWalks]

Agreed! PS6 and Switch 2 might be the most exciting times since the SNES vs Genesis days! Throw in PC and there are some really, really good times ahead!

Steam version of Wilds > PS5+XSX

Number of people who barely able to run the game:
Steam version of Wilds > PS5+XSX

 

[Mibu no ookami]

I think that's a big part of why Wilds has reviewed so poorly on Steam whereas it has reviewed very positively on PS5/Pro.

You have people running it who probably shouldn't and circana I'm sure isn't counting refunds.

Only 63% of steam reviewers mark it as positive yet it has a 4.6 on PSN with 44K ratings.

I wonder what would happen if you couldn't buy a game if Steam didn't validate that it met minimum requirements or if you couldn't run higher settings than your specs allowed. This is a big criticism I have a DF and PCMR in general that they try to constitute what the PC experience is when in reality it is a wide spectrum.

 

[pulicat]

Dollar sales ~40% over World
Units sales prolly ~20% over World
Steam has the lowest ASP amongst three platforms but managed to have over 50% market share over consoles which indicates console versions of Wild were selling ~65% less than World in units sales.

Console versions of Wilds is down drastically from World. Fortunately, Capcom has shifted their strategy to focus more on PC.

 

[Orbital2060]

Avowed doing pretty well, considering how many play it on game pass

 

[demigod]

Xbox beat out Nintendo Switch?! That's embarrassing. But then again, with South of Midnight looming in the distance, people want Xbox. Gamers have spoken, and they want Xbox.

That game will bomb harder than Forspoken, sorry rofif

It's interesting becuse World released 9 months later on PC. This makes me wonder if Wilds flat out sold less than World since launch World sales were Xbone/PS4 only.

If at first you don't succeed...

Steam version of Wilds > PS5+XSX

MH Wilds on Steam > MH Rise on Switch > MH Wilds on PS5+XSX

 

[kazuyamishima]

He forgot to mention that Nintendo had to pay for 9 months exclusivity, otherwise, it wouldn’t have done the same numbers it did at launch, but here we are.

Since they get the digital data directly from Capcom, refunds would affect the data no? (apart from refunds that took place after Feb).

The second best selling console of all time is embarrassing?

 

[Zuzu]

I’d like to see Warhorse Studios make a high fantasy first person RPG for their next game.

 

[Denton]

The launch month dollar sales total Kingdom Come: Deliverance II reached in February 2025 was more than 5 times higher than that the original Kingdom Come: Deliverance achieved during its February 2018 debut.

Wow, that is awesome. GOAT-level game, on par with Witcher 3 and even more impressive in some respects.

Difficult to say really, especially with the game coming out Feb 28th. The sales data here shows pre-orders and day 1 buys because that's all there is. Even if Capcom reported refunds which would surprise me, much of that might not even show up until March, and I don't know how that would be reflected in the charting, especially with continued sales.

Never use a console fanboy of any persuasion as a source.

These reports are always done in full weeks I believe, so 1-2 March will be counted in this data.

I would guess refunds would either be deducted from MH Wilds' sales in the week the refund takes place, or the the previous weeks' data would be adjusted to

Either way, I don't think it would make sense for the revenue figures Capcom provides to Circana to include revenue that has been refunded. But as you said its difficult to say.

 

[Radical_3d]

Civ VII looking strong despite the shit show launch. Pretty high on the PS5 charts too. It seems I’m not the only one that choose to switch platforms this time.
