| Mr Khan said: The franchise has built a solid base for itself on Wii U already. I went online last Sunday (afternoon, even!) to try and meet up with NoName, and the main server was still packed with people (995/1000), so that's nonpeak hours almost a year and a half after the US launch. Not to say automatically that moving to PS4 wouldn't be a bad move, but the Wii U version clearly has staying power with Western fans, so it would have to be a really grand effort on Capcom's part (which is my way of saying that i don't think MH can get much bigger in the West than it is) to really make the move worth it, and Capcom's avoided moving up to PS360 level graphics for the series so far... |
If Capcom did want to go full-scale new gen with the graffics, I think they actually could find more success with Monster Hunter in western markets. Not that they will, I just think they could.
Really, though, this is Capcom. They make the strangest decisions. The next Monster Hunter could be on the XO for all we know. Would not surprise me one bit. They do things for the short-term.
