Monster Hunter Franchise Has Shipped 6.3 Million Units

More good news for Capcom.

Thanks to Monster Hunter Freedom 2G shipping over one million units in Japan in just six days of sale, these new numbers have help push the franchise to an impressive 6.3 million units sold worldwide.

Monster Hunter Freedom 2G for the PSP was released in Japan on March 27, along with special edition Slim & Lite PSP bundles also available and Capcom has stated that because of this, the company will continue to support the franchise with multiple format releases.

A spokesperson from Capcom commented:

“As always, we at Capcom will continue to strive to develop new and original games that appeal to a broad audience around the world while expanding our properties for multiple platforms. We believe that by bringing the Monster Hunter series to multiple platforms, it will help the franchise reach an even greater number of users eager for its unique gameplay.”

Personally, I have never played one of these games, but with Monster Hunter 3 being a Wii exclusive – I might just have to try it out. If only just to justify still owning a Wii.
