The same Capcom that just released Resident Evil Village and RE4 on iPhone and iPads? lol. Capcom is a port whore, their new president is also spouting off about all games needing to be on all platforms and needing growth, growth, growth and games budgets are too high and games need to be more expensive. These same kinds of suits are being put in charge of all these companies.

Monster Hunter Rise sold what? Almost 8 million copies on the Switch alone? That's a massive audience for MH, that's basically about the same as World sold on PS4. There's a pretty good chance Monster Hunter Wilds (6) would match/exceed that on Switch 2. Lets face it, they probably could not say no to that much money and developed the game accordingly so it could launch on PS5 + Switch 2 + other platforms. 

Resident evil village and Resident evil 4 are ps4 games and not open world, and those games were a pretty bad showing for iphone and iPad with how low the settings were.Even ps5 struggles with dragon dogma2 like I said it depends how ambitious the Wilds is and it looks like to me that it will be very ambitious 

Dragon Dogma 2 is just poorly optimized, the Monster Hunter teams are completely different from that team and most of those folks started off making MH games on the PSP or 3DS, so they're not going to have an issue with Switch 2. 

Wilds looks extremely mediocre visually if you really want to put it against high end, there are better looking PS4 games. 

8 million copies of Monster Hunter Rise sealed the deal, people don't understand 8 million copies is a shit ton of money. 8 million x 25 dollar take home cut after licensing fees/retail/etc. is like 200 million dollars. If a company like even Rockstar could some how sell 8 million copies of GTAVI on Dreamcast, they'd make a Dreamcast version, no matter what they had to do to get the game running on the system, lol. That's too much money to turn down. 

I think that's all that's going on here, no big mystery, MH Wilds is designed so that Capcom can put it on the Switch 2 because they know they will sell millions more by doing that and that's the end of discussion on that. Business comes first. Rise on Switch sold basically the same amount as World on PS4 ... so there is no singular lead console for MH, both PS4 and Switch have a claim to it, so the easy solution is just to make yourself more money and release the next main line game on both of those systems. 

Wilds should have a good chance at topping Monster Hunter World in sales because Switch 2 will bring several million extra sales to the table especially from Japan where people like to play MH portably going back to the days of the PSP. Sure as heck beats the freaking XBox as your secondary console, XBox isn't doing shit for Capcom.
