Perhaps from all of those nintendo fans who keep predicting it will sell 100m+ and even stated before its launch that the reason is that it will combine 3ds + wiiu users? Or are we supposed to pretend they never made such claims?

Nope. You forget Wii was an SD console. That means 480p, which is 852x480. That are 409K pixels. 3DS has 400x240(x2 for stereoscopic view, which has to be rendered) + 320x240 for the touchscreen. As the main rendering in Monster Hunter is on the stereoscopic screen (touchscreen has 2D-elements), 3D-view has rendered for 192K pixels. So 3DS is only at around half the render-resolution. 1080p (which was Monster Hunter 3G running at) on the other hand has 1920x1080=2M pixels. The jump to HD is much more bigger than the minor change between Wii and 3DS.

Also on the memory side it is not looking good. Wii only had 88MB (is that right, Wikipedia says that, but it seems very low), 3DS had 128 MB. So Wii couldn't store bigger textures and models than 3DS.

So no, there was no massive difference in starting quality. Also, as far as I know, Capcom really ported the 3DS-version, as the Wii-version had lesser content. They would have to add this first. 3G on 3DS and WiiU could share data and had similar online, while the Wii-version had clearly different content.

And really, there was no big graphic difference between WiiU and 3DS (besides the resolution obviously). There was another detail or element here and there, but nothing serious.

Let's see here..

- moving the goal posts of what decides success? CHECK

- attempting to undermine console with various excuses? CHECK

Yep, it's already looking like we have another Wii-like hit on our hands based off the deja vu I'm getting here haha..

Ironically, I think it'll be Sony and MS home consoles that'll become increasingly irrelevant as technology/ media moves more towards mobile screens and away from traditional TV setup.

I dont get what you mean by this, can you explain? (Not to startvan argument, im just curious)

Also there is some truth to what he said. It looks like switch is more successor to vita then anything. Looking at the current japanese support, it has some things going for it that suggest there will be plenty of softwarr in the future that will be ps4/switch multiplat insteaf of ps4vita.

We will get a better understanding of this in the near future of course. Vita sales are dropping but i dont think its mostly due to the switch as mang pointed out it was already going down. Minecraft was the reason it did hold on so surprisingly well this paat year and half.

Doesnt matter if its nintendo side or sonys (or ms) You cant use a couple of users predictions and act like its the majority. Logically its still to early to tell but just because a couple of users believe itll do 100mil doesnt mean it (the switch) needs to outselll 3ds+wiiu combined to be successful.

Like i said before its good to sell a ton of hardware, but selling units isnt everything.

PS4 can stop selling right now, end production and despite a 20mil+ difference to PS3, its clearly the winner of the 2. Not because of HW sales, but because one made alot of money while the other lost a ton. (And seems like ps4 vs x1 ratio in softwares are killings compared to that of ps3 vs x360)

Its obvious lawlight is using wiiu+3ds as a goalpost because its the highest some1 could use atm.

But LL here is saying that is "the goal".......... lmao! xD 

I was pretty clear. You, on the other hand, not so much, I'm afraid. You didn't explain why there is truth in what he said.

He argued that the switch is the successor of vita and wiiu. Well, not necessarilly the case. Vita numbers didn't suddenly fall. It hasn't done well in quite a while and stopped getting proper support some time ago (nothing najor announced for it). So the vita numbers are far from surprising and possibly have nothing to do with the Switch. He also argued that 3ds numbers haven't been affected, but the same thing happened with ps3. The ps2 numbers remained strong. Did that mean that the ps3 was not perceived as the successor of ps2? Of course not. The ps2 got support well after the ps3 launched. Same thing happening with 3ds, hence its sales. We had a new MH game just a few weeks ago and it's been rulling the charts since it came out. Of course it helped 3ds.

Who said it's the majority? Just like we had some people saying it will do 100m+ because both 3ds and wiiu owners will buy it, we have some people saying it needs to match 3ds + wiiu sales. Why is the first group ignored and the second accused of "moving the goalpost"? Also, if you look at your posts, this is what you keep saying whenever says something; "you moved the goalpost!". Seriously, take a look at your posts even from other threads and you may notice it yourself.
