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.

Tell me about that when Japornese are into console game machine

 

Portable game machine played a part in their social life, also Switch is sold much more better than PS4 in Japan, and MH sales in Japan is bigger than the rest of the world

MH World is focus on the West, so another MH game (MH5) is focus on Japan will be coming, and it will be Exclusive game for Switch, unless Sony release a new handheld game machine

Both MH5 & MH World will be main MH title in the series
