If true, Capcom may as well get fitted for one of these:

 

Yeah lets take a Japanese centric franchise where a big part of the appeal is playing portably ... and make it for a home only console that going to get it's ass handed to it by Nintendo in Japan. 

The West is never going to care *that* much for Monster Hunter. 

Well they didnt release a collection of 5 beloved NES games for the Switch or 3DS, so I think they already have a hat like that...

Well they've pretty much killed Street Fighter this gen and RE7 is not doing that great either. PS4 has done shit for those two IPs. If they want Monster Hunter to decline to minor sales this would be a great way to do it, hey keep going Capcom. You're going to have no major franchises left.
