The question isn't about whether or not Switch will still get Monster Hunter games; it will, MHXX is already coming. The question is whether or not Capcom will localize them. If they can't bother to localize a game that is already >50% localized, because they are afraid it would crack their fragile basket of eggs (MHW), then I doubt they'd localize any new portable Monster Hunter titles, unless MHW fails regardless (which is likely.) So this puts people who want the portable versions to be localized against those interested in MHW. In the West, how Capcom has set things up, one's success directly affects the other's existence. 

It's one thing to speculate, and another to jump to conclusions prematurely, or already vent frustration.

It doesn't look like those people compared to previous localization patternns. Because the time between the announcement of the Jp version and the US/EU version of Monster Hunter Generations for 3DS was 1 year and 2 months. The Jp version was announed in May 2015. The western version was announced in March 2016.

It's only been 8 months since Monster Hunter XX was announced for Japan (and that's not counting the Switch version that was only announced 1 month ago, and Capcom may opt to only localize the Switch version, like how some PS titles are only on PS4 in the west while on PS3 as well in Jp) and people are already losing their shit.

We will see. Almost all of the information provided by Capcom's Western community managers has been in the direction of them wanting to focus on the simultaneous launch of World and therefore have no intentions of localizing XX.
