Actually I'm fine with "World" being on PS4/XB1 ... they can keep the "World" series. Capcom whether they admit it or not pulled a fast one on Sony by doing this. Yes they will justify it a million ways publically, but IMO deep down they simply wanted a sweetheart deal from Sony, but also wanted to retain the Monster Hunter 5 name for the Japanese portable market.

I don't buy their excuse for not calling the PS4 game MH5. They knew full well what they're doing. MHW can be the "next mainline MH", but that means dick all in Japan. MH5 will be on Switch.

No game company in the world is dumb enough to end a 4+ million selling franchise. 

The reason why MHW isn't on the Switch is because the platform can't run on it with acceptable performance in it's current format ... (which is why MHW is on the X1 and not on the Switch but that's not to say that the Switch isn't going to get it's own game within the series) 

There are just AAA games on home consoles the Switch will never be able to touch ... 

Plus Monster Hunter has already most likely stopped being the 4M+ juggernaut that it used to be so going forward Nintendo won't be able to rely on it to move as much hardware as it used to in the past ...
