switch will probably get monster hunter world a few months before ps4 and xbox one get monster hunter 5. and if monster hunter world doesnt sell well on the switch, capcom wont be bothered porting monster hunter 5

Monster Hunter World is Monster Hunter 5, unfortunately. And a Switch version of the game with local coop probably would outsell both versions on the other platforms, assuming the coop works out well. 

The bolded are handheld titles, the unbolded are console ones.

This table shows really well how MH was never really given a chance on home consoles in the West. I'm interested in how this goes.
