Monster Hunter: World ships 6 million games faster than any other Capcom game

Monster Hunter: World is Capcom’s fastest hit in the publisher’s history, the studio announced on its Japanese site as IGN reported. The multiplayer action role-playing game has already shipped 6 million copies since launching for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on January 6.

It reached the 5 million mark just three days after release. Games shipped isn’t the same as games sold, but it is still a mark of success. Shipped games also doesn’t account for digital sales, but we know that Monster Hunter: World was the PlayStation 4’s top digital game in January. Lifetime sales for the series is at 45 million.
