Money talks.  If Sony offer the right financial package they will receive an improved version of a mainline monster hunter just like with DQ11. 

 

You are badly mistaken on why I think it will get spinoffs.  The Wii U and Wii got comsole monster hunter games.  The ps4 is the future of Japanese home consoles so I believe future versions like those,  will be released on the ps4.

The Wii got it because it looked like it would sell much more than it did, which is still more than ps4 could dream of. Wiis best year was like year one correct? This was also before MH came to Nintys handhelds. If DS could handle MH then that would have been all she wrote lol. WiiU because it was simply a hd port of the Wii game. Why didn't MH4 Ultimate hit WiiU like MH3 Ultimate? Because home consoles are no longer needed. The future of home consoles in Japan is a joke and they can't be trusted. See DQXI 3DS.

Japan's Console Market is by Farm the Second biggest console market in the World, Japan, would need to fall more than 35% Before someone can take it spot, it will not Decline forever, they don't Track Digital on those researchs, that is something that is Growing, they also count Handheld in those researchs, and the GameBoy, sold more on Japan, than 3DS+Vita, and Gameboy, sold less than Nintendo DS+ PSP, on Japan.

The market can be Flat, or with a Light decline, you make it seems that the Market is Dead, or that will Die, Western games are taking ground on Japan, Wii, was a Worldwide Hit, the Playstation 4, selling more than Playstation 3, is something good for the industrie, we got 1 Final Fantasy Main game last gen, and now we will receive 2, Plus a Dragon Quest Main game, Final Fantasy, and Dragon Quest, are Japan's Finest Third Party franchises.

So, the reasons that you think that the market is on Decline, the Xbox, wasn't a Failure previous gen, it sold 1.6 Millions on Total, and to date it already had sold 1 Millions of units on Japan, if was Last Gen, the Wii, Sold much in his first years, from the 12 Millions it sold from 2006, to 2013-2014 8+ Millions already had sold in the Early 2009, on Japan.

Wii U, releasing 1 game each 2 Months, and the Xbox, being a Failure because of his Policies, does not means that the Japanese market is in Decline, just means that they Rather wait for Something good to came, rather than Purchasing a Next Gen console, because of that the PS3, had, and have so much Support on Japan, Developers know that the Gamers are waiting for the Next Big Japanese games to jump for Next Gen.

As i said before, This Gen to Date, Japan still the Second Biggest console market, so stop of pretending that the Market is Irrelevant, if Japan's Console market is Irrelevant, so just the USA, is a Relevant console Market.

Mainline Monster Hunter? LMAO, ok dude. Let me guess, since PS4 is getting DQXI which the creator clearly wanted very badly. Evidence you could clearly see considering they were very misleading such as "big screen game" all the way up until it was revealed to be for 3DS as well. Proving the publisher doesnt trust a home console in Japan at all lol. Now you believe Monster Hunter will make the same jump for no reason at all? Dragon Quest came because of the desire of the creators. If the Monster Hunter creators dont desire the same, then it aint happening.

Handheld have a Huge install base in Japan, this is the only reason for that and seems that you think that a Console Version Cannot sell, Dragon Quest Heros, and Dragon Quest Builders, sold Hundreds of Thousands on Home consoles each.

Dragon Quest Heros, sold 600 Thousands of units only on Home consoles on Japan, this In the Week of Launch, and More than 1 Million on July, 4 Months after Launch, only for Home Consoles, a Spin-off Selling more than 1 Million of Units on Japan, in less than Half a Year.

The 3DS, is in the End of his cicle and Handhelds are hard to make because the Smart Phones are taking the ground of this market.

Playstation 4, have a Solid Install base, and have a lot of Fans of the Franchise, a Spin Off sold 600 Thousands first week, a Main Game could sell much more on the Home Consoles, Dragon Quest Heroes, sold first week on Japan, Nearly the same that Halo 5, sold  in his First Week on USA, that was 920-980 Thousands at Retail.

Cool story. Those games would have done just as much on 3DS ALONE. Not needing two home consoles and a handheld. Someone desperate enough to try to use the smartphone argument can't be taken seriously.



No way in hell. Sony should be happy if it sell 7-9m over there.

Dragon Quest Heros, sold 1+ Millions just on PS3, and PS4, a Mainline game would sell Much more than a Spin-off, Tell for me in what other Market a Spin-off of a Franchise sold 1+ Millions units ?, without being GTA, and on USA, i think that only Call of Duty, did it to other countries.



Facts are facts Nintyfan. Dragon quest series selling easily enough to justify the recent flood of titles on Playstation. Monster hunter can do the same. If Sony were smart they'd offer capcom an incentive to do so. Japanese sales would be good enough with the added bonus of good Asian sales the Playstation games enjoy.

Thanks to the creator being a fan. Ps4 wouldn't get it if it wasn't for his wishes. You better hope for the same for MHs creator. Why even spend that extra money on a poor selling version when you could instead spend it on a sequel on 3DS? Why even choose PS4? WiiU versions would sell the same and then Ninty could even allow cross plat play. In other words, Sony isn't needed stop portbegging. No benefit in including Sony or any other plat than 3DS because it IS JAPAN. You are only worried about Sonys success, maybe you should ask Sony to do better at first party games. Ninty has Japan on lock due to their own efforts not 3rd party portbegging. I always find it funny seeing a certain fanbase portbeg because it's "better to have the game available to more people" yet don't see anything wrong WiiU being left out lol. It's always because a WiiU version would cost more because it's weaker, yet this same logic could certainly be used between 3DS and Ps4 then lol. A ps4 version would cost more, so I understand it being left out lol.

Your aggressive attitude isn't needed and has been that way from the very first post. Ease up!

Nothing aggressive, now stop harassing me every time I post something you don't like. If I was shitting on WiiU instead this would be a ok. He has nothing pointing to MH for PS4 so I called him out. I see this all the time in Ninty threads, check out the most recent NX rumor thread. I wonder if you asked the same from the multiple aggressive posters in there? Now have a good day.

This have nothing to do with this thread, and the Playstation 4, will eventually out-sell the Wii U In Japan, and you said that "Was better to launch for Wii U, because of Crossplay", what does Crossplay have to do for How much one game will sell ?, the Playstation 4's version can sell even more than the 3DS Version, the Playstation 4, have potential for this, just go and see the Total Software per Hardware, and see that people purchase many more games for home consoles than for Handhelds, and this is for all generations.

And there is no necessity in bashing the Moderator of the site, and acusing the site of Bias, this is the most Un-biased forum of the Internet, i already was active to many forums, but now i'm only active on VGChart, because is Un-biased.

He is a Moderator is his Duty to make this Forum clear, and he aways warn the people for don't get in the point of Banning those people.

I Said that the game "Have the Potential to sell more on Playstation 4" does not means that it will, but means that it can, and already proved to be able to do this".

The best Selling Dragon Quest game this gen on 3DS, is a Remaster, sold over 1.4 Millions according to VGChartz, is a Remaster from the Best Selling Dragon Quest tittle on Japan, and according to Square Enix, Dragon Quest Heroes, sold more than 1 Millions of units for PS3, and PS4, within 4-5 months of Sales on Japan, over 600 Thousands just on First Week, is a Spin-off game of the Franchise.

Of Course Dragon Quest's fans will upgrade from PS3, to PS4, if the Main game launch for PS4, the PS4, will still have a lot of Games, and the 3DS, might be replaced by Nintendo's NX,  the 2 Plataforms have the Potential to sell a lot of Dragon Quest, and the Playstation 4, have the Potential to Out-sell the 3DS Version, does not means that it will, but that it can, isn't something impossible like "The Division Selling more on Xbox One, on Japan", if 3DS, sell more units of the game, will not be Much more, the same for Playstation 4, if it sells more will not be much more units.

If Dragon Quest, sells a good ammount on Playstation 4 (the Spin-offs already are selling), so Capcom, will port the game for Playstation 4, their Relationship with Sony, is good for this, Street Fighter, exclusive for PS4, Resident Evil's Spin-off, exclusive for PS4/PC, also isn't impossible to port Monster Hunter for PS4, Plus, PS4, is a much better plataform if they want to release their games in the West, Playstation 4, will of course cross the 100 Millions units worldwide, a much bigger market than the 3DS's Worldwide market, this can mean Faster localization for the Western market.
