PS4 has install base, but not where it matters.
MH5 would sell maybe 1 million tops in the West ... but you'd be fucked in Japan totally.
The appeal of franchise has *always* been the ability to play portably, whether on PSP or 3DS. PS4 cannot do that. Beyond that, Switch is going to overtake PS4 in Japan in short order.
Making a move like this is franchise suicide. But seeing as how Capcom has already driven Street Fighter and Resident Evil and Dead Rising into the shitter, hey what's another. Apparently though as people have said, this is fake.
Japanese developers better wake up and fast -- Switch is not the Wii U and it's going to dominate the Japanese market and looks like it could also do great in the West on top of that. I bet many Japanese studios are in scramble mode right now trying to get more Switch content going as quickly as possible.
