Monster Hunter: World now accounts for a third of all Monster Hunter sales

Monster Hunter World: Iceborne has now sold more than five million units, which creates a notable milestone: taken together with sales of Monster Hunter: World, the game and its expansion now account for a third of all Monster Hunter games sold over the history of the franchise. According to Capcom's financial report for the fiscal year ending March 31, the company took a bit of a year-over-year hit, with revenues down 18.4% to about $766 million USD (£633 million). However, net profits were up 27.1% to $150 million (£124 million), according to GamesIndustry.biz. Monster Hunter World: Iceborne was a key driver, selling more than five million units. By January this year, Monster Hunter: World had sold 15 million copies, and now the two titles together have sold about 21 million. That's a full third of the roughly 63 million copies the franchise has sold since the first Monster Hunter launched for PlayStation 2 in 2004 - and that includes multiple editions of each mainline game in the franchise, which have appeared on PS2, PSP, Wii, 3DS, and Switch at this point.
