World could probably be ported, though it would take significant technical sacrifices, but the end results probably wouldn't sell as well as a new bespoke MH for Switch. I see a heavily downgraded World port on Switch selling a few million, but not 10 million plus like Rise could potentially do.

It's also possible that Capcom and Sony have an agreement to keep World off the Switch; there were rumors to this end before World was even announced.

We have many untrue rumors on this site. Such as PS5 had many issues in development, production, reduced production, freaking out at Series price and that it would release for 399 and 449 just to say the last 3 months.

I'm not saying it's necessarily true, but I don't think it's that far-fetched a possibility. Moneyhats do happen; it was also said that Nintendo pulled a similar move to keep MH off the Vita.

Either way, things worked out for the best, at least in my opinion, as I'd rather have Rise than a cut back port of Monster Hunter World.
