I have said that 5 million units of "Monster Hunter: World" (MHW) was shipped, but I would like to ask about the progress against the plan and how to record the cost.

We have not talked about the planned number of "MHW", but we have already achieved our plan for this term. Due to recent sales trends in our main titles, we anticipated that sales progress in the first year will be moderate than in the past, but it was more than expected. As for cost, we allocate the price based on the lifetime sales plan, so the fourth quarter sales will be recorded out of the total development cost.



Can some of the consumer titles and pachislot (PS) unachieved minutes be canceled out by "MHW" hits?

We believe that it is necessary to recognize and deal with some unachieved titles and PS in consumers as risks. Especially because the market environment of PS is uncertain, it is not likely to postpone the introduction of new models in the fourth quarter, and it is not the time to tell the outlook for the full year, but we are committed to achieving the plan.



I would like to ask about the development of "MHW" after the next term.

Currently we are advancing our strategy for achieving Life's plan first, so we can not tell you about additional content etc. at the moment. Regarding future developments, we will proceed while confirming and analyzing the situation of SelSlow.



What is the upfront investment advertisement cost that occurred in the third quarter of the year ending March 2018?

It is the promotion cost of "MHW" mainly overseas.



Although it is said that overseas sales ratio of "MHW" is 60%, I would like to ask about the feeling in contrast to the plan.

Both domestically and overseas are stronger than the original plan, and as a result, domestic and foreign ratios are not divergent from our assumptions.



Will the sales number of "MHW" life be extended to the "biohazard" class?

Although we have 5 million copies in 3 days from the launch, we are planning to thoroughly examine the outlook for the number of sales after fully grasping the sell-through situation in Europe and the USA from now.



Although it is said that the number of sales of the current machine port "Biohazard Liberations" is 500,000, I would like to ask about the breakdown of the sales area.

The package version sells 100,000 copies in Japan, 270,000 overseas, and the remaining about 130,000 are downloaded versions. In addition, about half of 500,000 books are Nintendo Switch version.



Coropla is in dispute with Nintendo, does it affect Capcom who signed a cross license?

There is no particular impact on our company.



It is said that the initial speed of "MHW" is different from the assumed speed, but I would like to ask about the factor analysis and the future impact.

Although it has not been able to analyze in detail at this moment, in this work, in addition to deployment on a stationary machine, in addition to seamless movement between areas and various actions, display of damage numbers to monsters, participation in quests on the way We believe that the success of appealing to new fans, mainly overseas, can be attributed to satisfying the existing series fans with new elements such as new elements such as " Other factors and impacts will be examined in the future.
