| Kerotan said: DQ might win but people keep saying because MH does best on handheld. Well same goes for DQ. The thing which might tip this in MHW'S favour is it's exclusive to ps4. DQ11 is on 3DS and switch version announced to come later. |
DQ does well on the handheld, like most popular Japanese games, but the way the games are set up is a lot different. Monster Hunter is a game with a near non-existent story that puts a huge emphasis on co-op gameplay, which lends itself much better to a portable experience, which sales of the franchise confirm. Dragon Quest is (typically) a JPRG with a much stronger emphasis on its story and solo gameplay. The latter can work on a handheld as well, but the point as I see it is that a game known to sell well on both formats is much more likely to outsell a game that primarily sells on a different format. I do think World will be the best selling console MH...but outselling Dragon Quest seems too much to me.
