Mh4. I kno mhw isnt a sfv situation (at least in the west)

Edit: meaning mhw is nothing to do with sony

I read someone saying that the first week of January will be out by this Friday.

Ok, though its still a possibility we shouldn't be saying it like its fact then. Seems more of an excuse then anything

There is still the possibility but i agree with you. We would of probably heard of it by now (if true) but if some people believe that it's on them and fine but stating it like its 100% fact when its most likely just made up

Ok thanks

It's speculation. Imo a deal happened and Imo Sony did some kind of a deal with mhw to make it Asia exclusive. 

Probably. It would make sense. Nintendo gets a deal for the entire gen and when it expires Sony gets in on mhw while Nintendo misses out. 

If anything that proves that Japan loves handhelds. It actually sold more in Japan than any other region on the planet, More than twice as much in Japan as in the USA.

In japan even though the Vita was a sales disaster everywhere else  it outsold the Gamecube, N64, Wii U etc

Oh yeah I fully expect a monster Hunter and on switch. Mh5 is really monster Hunter world and it's not named 5 because it's a better name Worldwide where the previous entries weren't huge. 

But that conveniently leaves them open to announcing a monster Hunter 5 on Switch in Japan which would sell a lot. If I was capcom its what I'd do.
