The system isn't selling in Japan and consoles aren't hot in Japan anymore. And there's not enough niche fan base in the west to think about affecting the thought process of a PS4 game. The fan base is in handheld and that's where they'll stay. There fan base is now on Nintendo and they'll keep the game on it since they have close around 4 million fans in Japan on it. I really feel that you keep forgettiing this game is only popular in Japan, it hasn't ever taken off in the West. And I doubt HD will be a problem. Capcom has been making HD game since the 360/PS3, I think they have more than enough experience. If this game really is coming to the Wii U, It'll probably just be another quick 3DS port, unless Nintendo pays for an HD remake. |
I'll add that even though the series is primarily a handheld one it's most successful venture on consoles both in Japan and the west has been on Nintendo platforms with Tri having over 2m units sold, it sort of fits in as Nintendo's consoles don't really follow the mainstream as far as their libraries go which is probably why MH seemed to click with the userbase. MH3rd on PS3 paled in comparison to Tri's success with the latter selling 4 times more, I honestly think some people don't realize that the userbase of PS home consoles don't really go for MH as much as they think.
