Why would they go through all of the effort to make a PS4 exclusive if the NX is suppose to be a unified platform device? It makes more sense to just port the game from NX (all form factors) to PS4, if they really want the game on the PS4. I mean the series has been made for 6th gen equivalent hardware for so long any upgrade will feel like a lot. The difference between the NX (even the handheld) and the PS4 shouldn't be big enough to warrant two essentially different games, and the sales benefit would be much lower than for Dragon Quest (MH doesn't sell well on home platforms while Dragon Quest sells well on any platform.) 

You can't say they wouldn't sell on home consoles.  and you can't base it off the sloppy second ports that Wii U,  Wii and ps3 got.  

 

Make a proper monster hunter 5 for ps4 this Christmas and it sells 2m+ WW. Then release your watered down handheld version on NX and psv 6 months later and it will do exactly as it always does. 

 

This way we can get a really good and advanced MH5 and capcom can still have good total sales.  Ps4 in Japan,  China and rest of Asia is going to have a much better presence than the next Nintendo home console which will be starting from zero next March.  not to mention Europe,  NA and the rest of the world. 

 

Hell the handheld version could probably be ported to psvr and offer a really fresh new experience.  

The Wii and PS2 games weren't ports. They were original titles in the series that were later ported to handhelds. 2 mil WW is nothing for a series that consistently sells 4.5-5 million on a much smaller budget. Sorry, you're living in fantasy land where game companies aren't look to maximize profit. Your best bet is an HD NX title with a PS4 port. That is okay though, because modern games are mostly scalable and it would be an upgrade over the 3DS games regardless. 

If MH couldn't succeed like it does on handhelds on the PS2 or Wii I can't see it happening on the PS4.
