What's weird to me is that there are only 5m PS4's in Japan. If this is the future of MH, Capcom literally just screwed over Japan for the West.
That being said, Switch is doing worse in Japan than in US or EU, so that might explain things.
Either way, it's clear Capcom hopes to trade those 4m 3DS units in Japan to 4m + everywhere but Japan. Maybe this will boost PS4 sales dramatically in Japan. Will be interesting to follow. |
My thoughts exactly. Switch has moved 20% of PS4s install base in three months. It will surely eclipse it within two years and the amrket for these titles is clearly on portable (the early home console versions didn't exactly light the world on fire).

Still, if this is true I hope this doesn't mean that MH Switch will revert back to zones because it's "portable." I like the more open maps, and I'd prefer it if I were to play them under my covers.
Monster Hunter: World will be the most interesting game in the world to follow, because it really needs to set the west a blaze, and fast to be worth it. It's competing with 4m sales on 3DS.
