Looks like we might have to find and bump the announcement threads, for all the people saying MHW would sell badly because it wasn't on Switch.

Ever heard of the concept opportunity costs?

Capcom will pay a heavy price, that's for sure. 

How so? The most MH ever sold outside of Japan is 1M. If anything they have an opportunity for growth with this game. Breaking the franchise away from being dependent on Japan would be great for them. Obviously they are taking a risk with it.

But I just don´t see the opportunity cost here. World existing doesn´t mean Switch won´t get a MH after all.

Tri being made on the Wii didn't stop Capcom from making the biggest ever Monster Hunter game in Japan with Portable 3rd (sold 4.9 million on a "dying" platform) or from porting it later to the 3ds to triple* the sales. But logic doesnt matter, Alkibiades will blurt out bullshit as usual with no intention to listen, much less learn.

 

The Switch cant handle the game in its present form anyways. He's literally asking for the impossible.

That's why they should have made the game with the Switch in mind. 

Switch + PS4 + Xbox One + PC would sell a lot more than what they're doing now. 

Not to mention that development costs are probably through the roof. This is the company that couldn't develop Street Fighter V alone (which btw pretty much bombed, like most of Capcom's games on the PS4).

Neogaf was (is?) very extreme with some predictions. There's no such thing as moderate success or failure over there. I think we do a fine job most of the time, in comparison.

Also, I think you made the first MHW predictions thread

Yeah we are much better then gaf. That place is dead now so who cares. 

 

Yeah I made a thread asking which will sell more Dq11, monster Hunter world and another game. It was probably ff7 remastered. A lot of people gave monster Hunter no chance vs Dq11 ps version. 

Gaf isn't dead, most of them moved to reseteta, which is a lot bigger than this forum already.

Development for the game started 4 years ago.

Same people, different name. 

Did you dislike the name of the forum or the people on it? 

I rest my case.

All the predictions doubting monster Hunter world wouldnt do shit are on gaf and it's dead. Who cares anyway. You're just arguing for the sake of it. 



Mario and Rabbits picking up good steam those last days, maybe it can reach 50+ points on COMG



I am surprised of the persistence of Mario and Rabbids the last few days.



Yeah Monster Hunter over 1.000 points!!
