Capcom: "MHW can't be done on Switch." But might make a Switch specific MH game. (Rumor)

You are a writer and you are not familiar with them?Makes me wonder if you have some sort of bias towards Nintendo.Hmmmmmmm....

Anyway, here is a previous post I wrote:

"Skyrim probably already passed 1 million units sold.Bomberman R too, and if it didnt, its close enough.Other than that, Bethesda has said time and time again that they were really satisfied with Skyrim and Doom sales on the Switch, and Wolf II probably wont be much different in terms of success.Not only that, but they also said that they have more games in store for the system.EA was also really satisfied with FIFA 2018 sales(if we believe VGC numbers, its also getting close to 1 million, if its not there already), so satisfied that they are bringing FIFA 19 over too.Then there is NBA 2K series which while I dont exactly remember them saying anything, they are bring NBA 2K19 so I guess the first game was deemed profitable.And I mean, 1 million is a big number however you see it, and considering the Switch smaller install base, I cant see it not being considered a success.Its just that we dont have many examples of big AAA games on the Switch, but that will probably be fixed over time."

OK, let me recap...

Skyrim probably passed 1m

Bethesda and EA are satisfied

NBA2K you don't remember them saying anything

We don't have many examples of AAA on Switch

So, you didn't provide confirmed figures nor do you have enough examples. You again came up with indies while my question was about traditional 3rd parties. Consequently, there is no evidence of "all the success stories" from big publishers on Switch.

Ys VIII is off to a good start on Switch in the western markets. We have sale figures for Japan -- it opened 6.5k; but early info indicates that Ys VIII western sales are trending ahead of the PS4/PSV. Odds favor Ys VIII on Switch to outperform the PS4 version in the west. pic.twitter.com/wArdGbl7cd

Add up Ys VII to that list. Also Mario + Rabbids (although that can be considered partly first party), Disgaea, Dragon Ball, and more. Overall, no HUGE success, meaning over 2m or something, nevertheless, data suggests that Switch owners buy third party games, at least on a larger scale than the WiiU or Wii eras.
