I wouldn't be too sure about that if the Japan-only release turns out to be true for XX. Monster Hunter X sold 2.8m in Japan and I would bet the port will sell a fair bit less then the original did on a much higher install-base.

1. Switch isn't region locked

2. I don't think you nderstand how huge MH is in Japan and how pathetic MH is in the rest of the world. Japan accounts for like 80+% of sales of each game.

3. And while on Japan, don't forget how huge handhelds are there. Consoles do shit there comparitively.

1. Doesn't matter, sure some will import, but if you think sales will be remotely close to what they would've been with an official release you're wrong.

2/3. Considering I used the 3ds versions japanese sales figures these 2 points don't really matter.
