Sorry but if the rumor is true that Sony went to Capcom and locked-in an agreement that specifically kept the game off the Switch then it is by far not even close to being the best outcome for MH fans in the West or East (maybe a good outcome for Sony, where they will likely get a boost in Japan), particularly those of us that like to play on portables. I would say it is as close to being as bad as Nintendo locking Capcom into an exclusivity agreement to keep the series only on 3DS and off of Vita and home consoles.

Yeah, this kind of deal is always a loss for gamers.  Money hatted exclusives is one thing.  One very annoying thing.  But money hatted vindictive "lul, you can't have our toys" deals are another.  Not that there's any guarantee Capcom will honor the deal.  They also promised Nintendo RE4 would be GameCube only and...well we know how that ended.

MH entering the modern era and being on 3 platforms instead of 1 is a much better outcome for western gamers then it being Nintendo only.  

 

Plus the switch gets a port of the 3DS game so it's a win all round.
