Nope, when this sells 3 million between three platforms and MH5 sells five million on one platform, Capcom will know where to put MH6. 

 

Monster Hunter is about local multiplayer and doesn't take its aesthetics seriously. The entire tone and aesthetic of the trailer feels much more like a MH clone than a main series title, and it isn't because of the realistic visuals. 

"Three platforms" Yeah... you forgot to mention how 2 of them are pracitcally irrelevant.

If the sales difference is that small, then that should be an argument for bringing mainline games to at least PS consoles, not against it. You do realize that MH5 is a mainline entry and MH World isn't, right? That seems like a much bigger factor to take into account than "availability on PC/X1" which won't constitue 10% of total sales.

MH World's sales will be compared to MHX and XX on 3DS and/or Switch. This comparison will determine where MH5 goes.

yeah, seemed like a main game at first, but if it's different, open-world based, it kind of makes sense to test the waters

also, the majority of MH audience is on handheld, and with Switch it is on a console as well, wouldn't be wise to turn the tide now


didn't play MH4 yet, but judging from HM Tri which is a great game indeed, MH really needs to make the MH World changes on the main thing too, open-world and instant multiplayer, in order to keep up with today's standards
