If there was a swtich version it would have missed the Janurary release date. There will be a delay. Announcing a Switch port or MH now will cannibalize MHW. 

If you think porting is easy then where is DW9? Where is DQXI? 

also, it seems I was right about splatoon. People told me it will be 1:1 without bundle. it seems I was right. Also there are still Spaltoon bundles but minimal. without a doubt that is nice leg.

First of all what Im talking about a franchise which is about as easy to predict its sucess on a hybrid system as MH.MHW would sell gangbusters on the Switch.DW 9 is not a garantee by any means, and its developed by another company(Koei), which already has a mosuo game comming to the Switch that has a higher chance to appeal to that audience than DW 9(Which would be FE Warriors).

For DQ XI, its most likely because they already have the 3DS version as the portable option, so there wouldnt be the need to rush its release, for as much as this sucks.That in turns would maximize sales, because then you would have the pS4 version on a portable system some months later, which would make the 3DS owners double dip, instead of just jumping to the Switch version instead(My guess obviously).But even then, this goes against the first point you brought up, since DQ XI for Switch was announced before these versions released, and as far as I can see, it didnt canabilize the sales of these said versions.The same could be said for MHW(even though i actually agree with you that this way they will sell more, as shitty as this sounds).

And its not me that thinks porting is easy.Its the countless developers that make actual games that have said so.Of course that easy is relative, since it still take months to bring over the game, depending how big and ambitious said game is, but its nowhere near like bringing to the Wii U( a game it can handle).

How would it sell gangbusters if the Switch can't even get in sufficient stock?  Imagine MHW was releasing exclusively for Switch in Japan.  The lines would be going all the way over to Europe and back again.  They're better off waiting a year at least and releasing their first next gen MH when it has a bigger install base.

Some people should just not but in a conversation......

Yeah like those posters who's contributions amount to one liners like "LOL I agree"  or the one I just quoted.
