If the point was selling to JRPG fans then there is no point is trying to make DQ selling more in west, it won't sell more, period. The reason why RFA, FF and Pokemon sells well is not because they sell to JRPG fans rather because they sell to more than just JRPG fans I disagree with you, platform choice is the most important decision a third developer needs to make before releasing a game. Your platform will significantly impact your production line as well as your sales performance. No, World would NEVER sell as much as it sold if it was PS4 exclusive, as I said over half of sales outside Japan were from PC. I don't have any idea why do you think Capcom ""effort"" in selling World outside Japan does not include the effort making the game multi-platform. "World" moved over 10 million in sales outside Japan in markets that never bothered to Monster Hunter before, do you think those sales would be the same without PC/Xbox release when data clearly shows the exact opposite? |
You know why World's sales are down to Capcom's effort and not being multiplatform? Because MH games have been multiplatform before MH3rd was on both PSP and PS3 for a start, World isn't even the first PC game either it's like the third. Fact is it was never just down to platform but effort the first two MH games were on PS2 the highest selling home console as of the moment and the games struggled to cross the 1m mark yet on PS4 World outsold both combined 3 times over because Capcom got off their ass to sell the game, before World they were content to sit on the sales in Japan.
Those games sell because actual effort is made to sell them, it's like with Octopath selling more than 2m despite being very traditional it sold that because the was a genuine effort to push it.
