Forums - Nintendo Discussion - I have a feeling looking at wii u sales in japan..

Maraccuda on 17 December 2014

I definitely want MH4 on Wii U rather than 3DS but Capcom probably feel like its a waste of money.

Nintendo can Money hat MH, Microsoft can Money hat MH

PS can money hat, sell a lot, and keep the franchise a live. I think Capcom will chose PS for more benefit.

The Wii U just needs any game (besides indies) from different developers. They need those cliche Japanese games ( animes games too )

There's not much else they can do.

actually looking at it
if they do a monster hunter 5 for wii u
then it could go over 1 million(530k at retail with tons of downloads(came free with mario kart 8 in europe techinically)


Yes it's possible that MH5 could do 1 million on Wii U if its exclusive but a 1 million seller isn't going to shift a ton of units and Capcom would never go along with it because they would be missing out a ton of sales by not putting it on 3DS where the fanbase already is. Monster Hunter 4+4G is close to 6 million and could go over 7 million lifetime once we figure in western sales. Capcom is not willing to lose those type of sales by putting the next mainline entry on a console with a low install base. The only way Capcom would consider putting it on Wii U is if Nintendo pays them enough to cover the lost 5 million or so sales and Nintendo would be dumb to spend that much money on a game that won't change Wii U's fortunes.

ik make it multiplat and give wii u version more stuff and a bundle

OK but that completely changes the point of ur OP. U said Nintendo is planning something big to fix their situation in Japan. Releasing a multiplat title who's fanbase is on another device sometime in the second half of its life isn't really a big deal.
