Except it wasn't a choice between them.  What was Sony or MS going to do, NOT let the game come on their system.  Regardless of motivation, this is all on Capcom and it's all stupid.

And as has been pointed out, portability was a massive part of MonHun's success.  Console releases can get them new sales, I've been saying that for years.  But not at the EXPENSE of the millions who bought the portable ones.  Capcom is leaving money on the table and no ammount of argumentation or justification can obscure that fact.

Again,  I don't buy this outrage. This isn't at the expense of the portable Nintendo fans.  They get MHXX this year and I presume late next year they will get a MHW spin off possibly renamed MH5. That's not screwing people over.  There seems to be a lot of jealousy going around that Playstation is suddenly getting first dibs on the series again.  

 

What was really screwing people over was not making past titles 3DS/vita.  That genuinely fucked up a lot of people for a whole gen.  But that was exclusive to Nintendo so it's OK -_-

I wasn't around when they did that.  

And them having done it before doesn't make it better, it makes it worse.

Nd it's not Sony or Nintendo fans they've screwed over 6 separate times, it's the Monster Hunter fanbase by dragging the franchise all over the place.  It would be different if just for once in their existence MonHun made a linear jump.  PS2 to 3, Wii to Wii U, PSP to Vita.  But no, they continue to screw around going from PS2 to PSP to Wii to 3DS to Wii U - PSYCH - actually still 3DS to Swi- PSYCH actually PS4.  

It's plain stupid, the whole story behind the franchise's spastic movement is dumb.  

And you're just making up a future game to excuse them.  And they aren't even localizing MHXX, at least not in a remotely timely manner.  Wouldn't be shocked if they try to sell XX in the west in mid to late 2018 and bitch when it underperforms.  They announced a WORLDWIDE RELEASE for Worlds and told western Switch users to shutup on Twitter.  That's just plain contemptuous. 

How many passionate MonHun fans bought a PS3 or Vita or Wii U or Switch anticipating MonHun as inevitable because it was assumed to be - and in the Switch's case Capcom actively encouraged the mindset that it was - the only logical place the series would be?

This kinda of idiocy should be called out, no matter what year.  Period.  Stop shielding them from criticism, they don't deserve your loyalty.
