Monster Hunter games still sell incredibly well on the 3DS and have even sold more in the West since going on Nintendo platforms.
It doesn't really matter in any case because what's the alternative? Vita? The system the 3DS has outsold 4:1? If anything if Capcom is dumb enough to think about ditching Nintendo for future Monster Hunter ... they probably are having a real, hard sobering wake up call looking at these FFXV numbers. They better get their ass behind the Switch because if Monster Hunter goes, I don't know what will be left of Capcom, but I don't think it will be pretty.
Those 2-3 million they get from 3DS Monster Hunter games every year or two like clockwork has been paying their bills.
Switch is going to outsell the PS4 in Japan. Probably quickly at that. It's time for Japanese developers to accept the cold hard truth. They need to work with Nintendo and support Switch like it's a Super Famicom. There is no other way forward for the Japanese game industry.
