Forums - Nintendo - If MH4 Sales Surpass Expectations Should Capcom Just Leave MH Franchise On 3DS Only This Generation?


Now Before Certain People Jump @ Me Cuz they misunderstood, let me EXPLAIN. Within 2 Days of Digital Sales MH4 Must Be Doing ****ing Great. Capcom shipped between 1mil-1.5mil Retail Copies to Stores. Bonuses of Link Costume Which to me personally think Its A Smart *** Decision (Solddddd for me!) with mario bros cats (is this a new thing lol) sales might be close to the best selling MH FW and Possibly Lifetime!

3DS has by far the biggest User Base and will continue to grow. Now other platforms they can obviously put it on is WiiU which they did with MH3U and Vita/PS4 but do they want to keep an established fanbase on just one system? If there is a western release I can see it being on both WiiU/3DS but Maybe Its Smarter for them to just put it on 3DS? If they did I can see MH4 being the highest Selling MH in the franchise with over 5.5mil sales! I mean MH3U was a port that was split again on wiiu and 3ds here in the West!

Anyway this thread is really asking should MH as a Franchise Have New Entrys for just the 3DS Handheld?

This Is A Business Question, not Console/Handheld of Choice!

Discuss......

Aren't they going broke? would make more sense to port it to other platforms. Knowing Capcom though it'll probably be the smart phone.

f*** Smartphone!!!

I think a wii u version is quite certain considering how much a mere re-re-release of MH3 sold.



"Hey this game is making a ton of money, what shoud we do with it?"

"Make then exclusive for years, this will increase sales by ton, be assured of that".

Besides, we areadly got a new MH title coming for smartphone this year(not the first one), and MH Online is coming to PS3 and WiiU also soon. Would be cool if they maked exclusive for years, and things betwen nintendo and capcom are working pretty good for sometime now, but capcom milk their franchises most of the time.

The thing capcom seems most interested about mh is that this become something global, like RE and SF. Lets see how this will work.



"Hardware design isn’t about making the most powerful thing you can.
Today most hardware design is left to other companies, but when you make hardware without taking into account the needs of the eventual software developers, you end up with bloated hardware full of pointless excess. From the outset one must consider design from both a hardware and software perspective."
