Of course they will go where the money is: it was with PSP, then they moved to 3DS. Nintendo willing to push teh series for them has obviously been beneficial. But Capcom doesnt need to give up good money for Nintendo to do that anymore. They can push MH themselves in the West in the future.
We have no idea what the future holds for Nintendo in terms of handhelds. But continuing market shrinking is most likely on the cards and unless they can turn that around in the West, when Capcom will most likely want to expand there, plays a pretty significant role in what Capcom does. I am sure Capcom will stick with Nintendo handheld, but I think you are missing the bigger picture if you think they wont bring the titles to the PS4 in some form of another. They have larger market potential on PS4 than they do on the 3DS or successor in the West. |
generally speaking, for whatever reasons, handheld gamers much prefer Monster Hunter over console gamers. obviously Capcom is going to push Monster Hunter on whatever systems push sales. I think they will push it on the PS4 obviously, at least one title, but in the future I am not entirely sure if Sony will be doing handhelds
we talk about the decreasing handheld market especially with the 3DS compared to DS but look at the PS Vita compared to the PSP, its shocking the difference. Capcom will obviously want Monster Hunter on the next Nintendo portable
The thing is Nintendo is known to be somewhat pushy at times, I would not be shocked that they realize that the Monster Hunter series sort of needs their handheld and that there might be a possibility of them forcing an exclusivity clause
