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. 

And you were the one saying that GTSport wasn't GT7 even if the dev have said so :3

Yeah I still think we will get a GT7 next after sport.. Time will tell if I'm right.

Nintendo relly dominating with SW and HW.

ps4 software for the newest week is pretty terrible considering the hardware sales. I mean how can you sell over 100k and only have 1 game in the top 25??? I'm too lazy to add up the switch software and compare to PS4 software numbers but it has to be like 20 to 1 or something like that. I guess it has to be because of monster hunter but still hard to believe.



currently playing: Skyward Sword, Mario Sunshine, Xenoblade Chronicles X

Arent those famitsu numbers kinda confusing or is it just me?

Anyway, another 10k week for XC 2!



My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.

Theres 2 PS4 games in the top 25. But yeah, could be because of digital or people just buying different games or like you said MHWorld Hype

If they were able to get MH on PS4, I wonder why they didn't do it for the Vita? 

 

Even saying that, The Vita could have gotten a new exclusive IP that should have exploded (Minecraft was "like" an exclusive to handhelds and it did sell over 1million) like how the 3DS got Yokai Watch, or the Wii U with Splatoon. 

 

Now that equation make sense! 

Nintendo got the exclusive deal instead of Sony. Yokai watch was also in development for playstation so if it had of had Yokai, monster Hunter and minecraft I think it would have sold 10m+

 

The bigger sales would have driven more support from other devs too. Basically after the psp disrupted Nintendo for the first time ever by providing competition in the handheld market they didn't want it to happen again and they shut down any chance the vita had. 

 

You have to say from a business point of view they played their cards right. 

Yokai Watch would have bombed if it was on the Vita.
