They just released the sales numbers of Okami HD, the Wii and PS2 versions were not in HD. According to our Database here, both the Wii and PS2 versions sold ~600k, plus 430k for the DS game. Comparing PS2/3/4 vs Wii/DS/Switch, and you get more or less a parity on sales - and that's despite the Wii and the Switch versions were late ports (2 years late for the Wii, 6 years after the PS3 and one year after the PS4/XBO/PC version).

Still, the Switch version sold best despite releasing after the other ones. And the fact that the PS4 version is lagging behind the PS3 and PC versions is telling the audience of the PS4 has slowly shifted away from non-blockbuster or pure otaku Japanese titles.

PS4 version is obviously affected by the PS3 version: many people have already played Okami HD on PS3.

I love how you had to resort to using SD versions just because Playstation was beating Nintendo handily.

And I love how you need to have a delayed launch of the Nintendo version to get Playstation look good against the Switch.

Seriously, both the Wii and the Switch versions were late ports, but that's something you don't want to take into account as it would invalidate your claim. And yet you still needed 2 consoles to beat just one.

Again, Capcom has already said that MHR is the next mainline title. If there would be a MHW2, then just as a spinoff title.

This could not be further from the truth LOL

MHW was called MH5 internally and now publicly. It was made by the mainline team with the prior mainline director.

MHW2 is called MH6 internally at Capcom.

MH Rise is made by the Generations team.

Never seen someone get so much wrong and still act like they're right.

Ehm...

Did you seriously needed to look for a rumor to try and invalidate what is already known? And a shady one at that, because that one looks wayyy too good to be true. Also, it used both Resident Evil and Biohazard despite both of them being 2 different names for the same game series.

Besides, the only thing that was actually leaked was that there will be a port of MHR... but for PC, not any Playstation platform: https://www.vg247.com/2020/11/16/monster-hunter-rise-pc-resident-evil-village-release-date-capcom-leaks/

So looks like the Playstation had just a short stint with the Monster Hunter license and went back to Nintendo now...

Also, again, mainline:

"much like World, Rise retains all the DNA of the monster hunter series that we know and love and is not considered a derivative or spin-off title"
