| DonFerrari said: There are a plethora of games that are exclusive to PS4 in Japan that get Xbox version WW that Sony didn't pay a dime. And in this case the game is Japan PS4 exclusive and WW will go to X1 and PC so that is hardly a certainty that Sony paid for it. We all know Switch is a lot weaker than the other platforms so that can be the sole reason for it not being on it. Not to forget game developing starts a long time before reveals, so it could be decided as exclusive even before Switch anouncement or even release. And sure the leaker may be right, or he may have just heard something on the announcement from off-hands and fabricated a leaking to his taste, do we have the guy history as a leaker? Because we also have several leakers that invent everything, and then erase the wrong leaks. |
And there are plenty of games where Sony did pay for exclusivity. Not just in Japan. The case however is Monster Hunter and the Japanese market, which is the biggest market for the franchise. Sony paid Capcom to keep their main competitor (Switch version) in Japan out.
And we also all know that Capcom was involved in the development of the Switch. So that suggests other reasoning. Besides, Monster Hunter World really doesn't look that graphically intensive, if the Xbox One can run it, a (somewhat lesser) port to the Switch can work.
Sure the leaker could have added more than what is actually true, but when the leaker in this case is so specific, and when evidence shows it after the reveal, I have very little reason to doubt it. Sony is a company that would to that, and so is Capcom as well.
Yes, he gave. Something you haven't had and that your initial post was very far from. |
I was in the process of arguing the same thing he did. I just didn't have to. No need to get nasty about it.
