Outside of December 2018 when sales slowed by quite a bit, 2018 was a great month for PS4. Fortnite, God of War, Spider Man, and Red Dead Redemption 2 were massive growth drivers.
According to Famitsu, Monster Hunter World has sold 1.35 million copies at launch in Japan, boosting PS4 sales to 140,000 units. This makes MHW the best selling PS4 game ever in just 3 days. PS4 saw its highest week of sales ever excluding its launch week back in February 2014.

I love how you paint yourself as some "pure and objective gamer" when all you do at NintendoLife is spout objectively false and fanboyish gibberish (NS is "struggling", it's lineup is "garbage", Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is a "flop", etc)
Hilarious.
Anyways, pretty decent PS4 sales when all things considered, despite the fact that this was obviously Nintendo's week. Monster Hunter World should rake in big numbers come January.

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 Ditches Traditional Campaign Mode
I still remember Black Ops 2's campaign having multiple endings, true player choice, and those cool (optional) Strike Force missions.
To go from that to no campaign at all is hugely disappointing.
Re: Monster Hunter: World Actually Broke 2 Million Sales at Launch in Japan
Incredible digital sales.
MHW digital launch week sales weren't far off from the physical launch week sales of FFXV.
Re: PlayStation Profits Soar as PS4 Reaches 76.5 Million Units
PS4 is about 11-12 million units away from outselling the PS3. It should happen prior to the 2018 holiday quarter.

Amazing.
Re: In One Weekend, Monster Hunter: World Is Crowned the Series' Fastest Selling Entry Ever
It's not only the fastest selling Monster Hunter game ever, but the fastest selling Capcom game ever, beating out RE 5 and 6.
