Monster Hunter Rise has been confirmed to launch on PC early 2022.
What's the point in making that official one month before the switch release? either you do it from the beginning or you wait until the wave passes 6 months or more.
That's gonna affect the switch sales of the game drastically in the west.

That sounds silly to me. Like an excuse to make if the game doesn't sell as well on Switch in the west as the PS4 version of World. It doesn't really make much sense, I mean, a lot of people who are absolutely hellbent on not buying the game for Switch or not getting a Switch for the game probably already knew this was the case because of the leak that happened around Rise's announcement. Announcing the PC port before World's console release didn't create low sales for either console, either. 

Ultimately all the advantages the Switch has for third parties are still for Rise ON TOP of the game being made from the ground up for the platform (so the PC version will definitely look better but probably not by too much), and ON TOP of it being exclusive for probably nearly a year as opposed to a delayed port like a lot of AAA Switch releases. Frankly, the game was only told to be exclusive for 6 months, so I really doubt waiting 9-12 months is going to make western Switch sales bad.
