00:00Monster Hunter World has now sold over 30 million copies, further cementing its place as Capcom's best-selling game of
00:07all time.
00:08That's right, it's ahead of every Resident Evil game and comfortably ahead of Monster Hunter Wilds.
00:14Wilds may be the fastest-selling Capcom title ever, but ongoing performance issues since launch have slowed its momentum.
00:21It's hard to overstate just how important Monster Hunter World was for the franchise.
00:26Before Monster Hunter World, it was a somewhat niche series outside Japan, despite being absolutely massive in its home market
00:33and consistently delivering excellent games.
00:36But being largely confined to handheld systems like the 3DS with its famously awkward control scheme made it a tougher
00:43sell for a broader audience.
00:45Monster Hunter World changed all of that.
00:47It gave Capcom the chance to bring the series to a much wider audience and finally show people what longtime
00:53fans had been raving about for years.
00:56The result was a breakout hit that transformed Monster Hunter into a global powerhouse.
