See, you really just don't know the history of the series and its impact on the market if you don't understand why this happened. The series exploded in popularity over each entry. It was incredible growth with fantastic word of mouth. It reached its peak with MH3P. From there, Capcom's release schedule and increased competition lead to a drop in popularity (i.e. it's current state). It finally had a dedicated fanbase, so of course it was more consistent than before it was a mainstream series. It'd be like saying XV did great because it outsold the SNES Final Fantasy games. That doesn't make any sense and lacks context. You can't say I'm objectively wrong when you do absurd things like combined MH4 and MH4U to make yourself feel better about its drop in popularity.

See, it's very to just pull out the context card. Admittadely, context is usually a strong argument and I use it a lot. But you are being absolutely ridiculous if you don't think rereleases affect sales. They absolutely do. You don't think a measely 800k out of 2.6 million sales of MH4U were oriignal sales? You're out of your mind. If a series is selling better in both portable, and home console markets, then it's more popular at that time. In fact I already addressed the "reached it's peak argument". I don't think a game reaching it's peak automatically means it's less popular. But I don't even think 3rd Portable was it's peak, MH4 was and probably will be for a long time.  I'm not doing it to make myself "feel better". This is literally how sales figures go. I've literally tried to analyze this from EVERY.SINGLE.ANGLE. Your argument is static. You're being ridiculous and are just trying to pull out any cards you have when the fact is sales beg to differ. You are ironically ignoring context while trying to make it seem like i'm doing the same thing. 

This discussion is done, you're clearly wrong but hey .. I'm sure you have a million other false cards up your sleeve to make a point. I won't be waiting for them.

FFXV would be one of those games that wouldn't suffer so much from being 30fps. Make it 720p, lower the resolution of your textures, increase LOD a bit, and it's set.

Frankly, I think they should focus on more new content, I would prefer they work on getting something new (Hey there KH 3 and you too FF VII remake) then trying to throw a good but now significantly aged from the peak of hype FFXV on the Switch.

Or I should say at least the main campaign. If they did some of a side story collection for the DLC along with some new content, that might sell pretty decently on the Switch.

Good!
