Capcom's stock price plummets as its latest financial report shows cratering Monster Hunter Wilds sales

After selling more than 10 million copies at launch, Wilds has only sold 477 thousand in the last quarter.

"During the quarter that ended June 30, Wilds sales had fallen by more than 95% from its launch quarter,"

Oh dang, I had no idea post-release sales of #MonsterHunterWilds were THAT dire. From 10m on launch to 477k in the three months after. Wow. That's awful.

I know everybody's gonna throw in their pet peeve as the reason for this, but if I've said it once I've said it a million times, if you can't maintain your core audience, you don't get the positive word of mouth that leads to mainstream acceptance.

#MonsterHunter had a huge lead with its core audience going into release, and blew it in a spectacular panoply of ways. And this is the result.

Honestly this brings me no pleasure, either. For all the frustration I've had with Wilds, I do actually like it and I enjoyed the time I spent with it.

I just wish I could play it for more than two hours without random crashing.
