Capcom Pleased With Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate On 3DS
Capcom has announced that Monster Hunter 4G on the 3DS – released as Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate in North America and Europe – has shipped more than four million units worldwide.
It's not unusual for companies to tout the number of units they sent out to stores, but Capcom's figures are worth noting because they include download cards and digital sales from the Nintendo eShop.

Our Take
While we don't know the mix of traditional retail vs. digital sales (it probably skews predominately toward retail) these ship/sales numbers could also be significant because the game is on a single platform.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
