lol, Capcom's president also saying Switch 2 sold above their expectations.

Still think this is gonna end up on Switch 2, even if they have to rebuild a lot of the code from the ground up. The legs of the game are nowhere near what they expected, a successful run on Switch 2 could easily add 3-4+ million in extra sales to this game's faltering legs and those optimizations can then also be applied to the console and PC versions for better performance.

How could they not see NS2 being a success? One would think with a company Capcoms size they would have someone (or a small team) dedicated to studying the market/advertising. Everyone knew the NS2 was going to sell, you dont clear 150 million systems, have a super hyped upcoming launch and not be expected to clear some massive numbers.

A lot of old fart Japanese executives are still living in 2011 thinking that Nintendo will screw up every successor console. Capcom's stock price suffered a terrible 10% drop in one day after news of Wild's awful post launch sales came to light. They are probably scrambling now to get a version that will work on Switch 2 and improved performance on PC in particular. 

I think they thought Switch 2 would be to Switch 1 what 3DS was to DS ... not a flop per se, but not a massive success it has been. Now they're surprised it's selling so well while crying about the PS5 being too expensive and limiting MH Wild sales, lol.
