| IcaroRibeiro said: Capcom did that with a franchise that used to sell over 80% of its sales in Japan and now they have a worldwide hit with 20 million sales at cost of ~2million sales in Japan, I doubt they are feeling any remorse. But of course, Dragon Quest is a JRPG and there is no precedence for JRPGs selling that much in West, Square main JRPG is West in Final Fantasy and XV sold "only" 10 million even with a PC release, so PS5/Series exclusivity is far beyond question, it will never happen, period. |
You can't compare DQ and MH they're not even close to the same situation, World didn't replace the portable line it simply carried on the dormant console line so wasn't a big risk as both World and Rise were in development at the same time, Rise continues on from where the 3DS line left off so Capcom were never risking the huge sales in Japan to begin with the console games were more lite in sales compared to the portable side so risk isn't even 2m sales as you think the highest selling console game before World was Tri with 1.05m in Japan that's what they really were gambling.
