| Soriku said: @bbsin MHF released on the PSP in 2005. The DS came out in 2004. In 2005, the DS was still being considered as a "shovelware" system and sales weren't incredibly high to begin with. They just happened to use the PSP's power to make a worthy game and it turned out to be a success. Of course, more and more MH fans grew on the PSP, so they kept putting more and more MHs on it. They're putting MH3 on the Wii. If MH3 turns out to be a huge successs...why make a PS3 version MH then? I mean if MHF on the PSP bombed you don't think they'd put more on it, right? There's really no point in a MH on the PS3. |
what does the release date of the DS have to do with anything? the PSP was released on the same month.
Anyways, you're not looking at the big picture. The reason why Monster Hunter was on the PSP instead of the DS was because Capcom could produce a more suitable game to their initial vision. Inother words, to make the best game possible, they used the superior hardware specs on the PSP to make the game they intended to make in the first place, eventhough the DS sold more hardware (and can pottentially sell more software). Now, the reason why MH is on the Wii in the first place it because of the PS3's very slow start in Japan, and the cost of development vs return. What do you think will happen if the PS3 gains a much more respectable install base to warrent the cost of development? If you were a business man, would you rather have money, or money + more money? I'm not saying that capcom would abandon the Wii all of a sudden, but if they can have two MH console games that make money off of two/three different consoles then what would be the point of NOT releasing the game on the Wii? Especially if the producer desides to upgrade the technology.
