That's a pretty illogical way of looking at it. Different platforms. Different context for game sales. I'm sure Capcom would like it to hit 2 million minimum but 1.5 is a far more realistic outlook for what is possible. Then of course there's the rest of the world. |
Why not go for the platforms that sell more? Why should Capcom go multiplat if they expect to lower sales with that?
Look at it this way: Think the new Pokemon on Switch will be a big mainline entry and Gamefreak goes all in with really expanded new graphics and open world with a big budget. How would you react if people make a thread here on VGC and say 2 million in Japan would be an excellent success for this new Pokemon.
That's comparable, X/Y had 4.4M in Japan, Sun/Moon 3.74M. Monster Hunter 4 had 3.44M in Japan. So saying 2 million for Pokemon more or less equals saying 1.5 million for MonHun would be a success.
