Yes but the competition is getting weaker too in the process ...

Plus with the vita being gone (the last bastion for offering portable alternatives to Monster Hunter), Capcom remains uncontested in the forseeable future ...

I don't believe competition is the reason for MHXX's poor performance on the Switch, the franchise is very much visibly losing it's strength given these factors ...

This doesn't bode well for Nintendo who has to sell the Switch and for Capcom who may end up like Konami ...

MHXX just shows that the business of launching an expansion game is reaching to the end. You can see a lot of Japanese people complaining about the Ultimate / G versions. People is asking to launch the G rank missions as a DLC, instead of a different game. People don't want to pay again a fully priced game just for the G rank missions. People want to pay the half of the price as a DLC.

Don't need to read to much on MHXX numbers. A lot of people complained during MH4U in Japan, and now it's the same.

what Capcom has to do is change the business and stop milking and tiring the fanbase. I think for MHW they are finally planning DLC.

Why don't they continue to release seperate version but instead of charging say $60 charge $30 instead.

Well, this could be also an option. The DLC of Horizon releasing later this year is also retail if I'm not mistaken. Something like that (with the proper price) should work.

The problem now is that they are paying full price for DLC content and people is getting tired.

Seriously never expected to ever see a Wii U game appear on preorder lists again

And nice to see Nights of Azure Switch version showing up on Rakuten despite not showing up on COMG yet

Nah, not good enough ...

If customers knew that they could get a superior AND a much cheaper version of the game by waiting roughly a year later that gives customers less incentives to be first adopters thus dropping the sales of the first release of the games down the toilet ...

Charging $30 would be a disaster since packaging and retailer's will get further cuts into the margins than if Capcom had charged $60 ...

If I were Capcom the most realistic alternative without hurting their margins too much would be a $50 rerelease and $40 DLC expansion ...

Monster Hunter XX finally starting to pick up a bit, but I think this title was one too far what most people were willing to take. That said, it'd easily do 1 million if that many Switch bundles were made.
