Enhanced re-release Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate has already hunted and gathered two million shipments in Japan after hitting retail shelves four days ago. Capcom specified the figure as shipments rather than direct sales to consumers, but it does include download purchases.
The early data suggests Capcom’s on course to meet its projection of 3.9 million units for the 3DS action-RPG. After all, Ultimate isn’t out in North America and Europe yet, and the original Monster Hunter 4 was limited to Japan. If Ultimate does go on to reach that figure it won’t be far off the success of its predecessor, with Capcom noting today Monster Hunter 4 shipped more than 4.1 million copies – just to reiterate, that’s in Japan alone.
