I feel like this belongs somewhere. It was leaked right before MHXX was revealed (the 3DS one), and has been right on the money about everything. MH:W is MH5, so going by this, Sony specifically barred Capcom from bringing this game to the Switch to gain leverage in Japan.

That doesn't really bother me. If companies can do exclusives, I don't see why they can't do reverse exclusives too. What I'm wondering now is if "MH Portable" is refering to the XX port or a separate MH portable line.

Here are the followups too, which answer your questions. 

 

The problem is that unless Nintendo publishes them, they probably won't come to the West. So nobody gets what they want. Sony doesn't get the Japanese exclusive they were hoping for, Capcom probably won't get a lot of money, and Monster Hunter fans don't get one stable Monster Hunter series that has a unified direction. 

This is interesting. Clearly some things have changed if this is true, which I believe it is. World seems much less watered down than this describes, though monster hunter fans will know better than I do.

This clarifies that MHXX on switch is separate from MH Portable, though. That's interesting. Looks like Capcom will be getting the best of both worlds.

What a fascinating potential look at the underbelly of the gaming industry.
