Monster Hunter 4 tops Media Create charts with 1,715,060 units moved 

Monster Hunter 4 was unsurprisingly the clear winner on the Media Create charts with 1,715,060 units moved in its first couple days. This figure is slightly lower than the numbers quoted by Famitsu, which stated the game moved 1.875 million copies in its first two days.

Regardless of which company has the most accurate figures, the game sold massively already and helped 3DS LL sales spike from 60,077 units the week prior to 236,700 units moved. The older 3DS model also saw a huge spike it sales moving 40,092 units compared to 19,114 the week prior.
