With the announcement of Dragon Quest XI for PS4 after a stint of Nintendo-only realeses for the mainline series, I was wondering if maybe this could be a sign of what could happen with next Monster Hunter games, a franchise that has become Nintendo-focused after it's beginning on the PS2.
Do you think that it is possible that Nintendo has opted out to incentivise exclusive deals for franchises like Dragon Quest and, in the case of this thread targetted discussion, Monter Hunter and therefore see future releases of Monter Hunter games as multiplatform releases out of the gate, possibly coming to other consoles and perhaps more likely the PS4?
Or do you think that maybe Capcom could opt by themselves for a multiplatform release of next Monster Hunter thinking in maximising sells by releasing in other consoles?
Or maybe there is a chance that Nintendo would find it very important to secure this franchise and not let it release anywhere else?
Capcom has recently done some exclusivity deals with other consoles like Dead Rising 3 for Xbone and Street Fighter V/Deep Down with PS4, so continuing their exclusivity deal with Nintendo may not be that surprising either.
But what do you think, is there a chance we will have multiplatform releases of Monter Hunter from now on?
Discuss.
