Capcom: Monster Hunter XX Switch version is another test to evaluate our support for Switch

No we don't act like 3rd parties own anything to Nintendo. We all know how bad Nintendo treats 3rd party. Still, Capcom's logic with this one is beyond flawed. SF2 is a SNES game from 1991! Still it sold relatively well at $40. What if it didn't (as it should have)? Does Capcom really think a brand new SF game on Switch would sell terrible because people didn't want to pay $40 for a 26 year old game? Capcom was lucky because Switch' software line-up is incredibly limited and people just want to play something. But no way would a rip-off like SF2 sell near that number (500k) on X1 or PS4 even with their bigger install bases. Based on that logic they shouldn't release any game on X1/PS4 at all.

Nope, your interpretation of that logic is flawed.

You don't know what were their expectation. And you are forcing your logic to be a different thing than what it really is.

You do realize you're the only one in this thread not getting how stupid these tests by Capcom are right? If Capcom wants to test if the Switch audience is willing to pay for their AAA games, they better base that on the sales of, for example, Resident Evil 7 and not an overpriced 26y old game while the competition is getting a collection of the same franchise at the same price. How can you expect a $40 SNES game to sell well (again they were lucky)? And if it doesn't sell well it immediately means Switch owners won't buy the newest Street Fighter or Resident Evil or Monster Hunter? That's just plain idiocracy.
