Actually I'm fine with "World" being on PS4/XB1 ... they can keep the "World" series. Capcom whether they admit it or not pulled a fast one on Sony by doing this. Yes they will justify it a million ways publically, but IMO deep down they simply wanted a sweetheart deal from Sony, but also wanted to retain the Monster Hunter 5 name for the Japanese portable market. I don't buy their excuse for not calling the PS4 game MH5. They knew full well what they're doing. MHW can be the "next mainline MH", but that means dick all in Japan. MH5 will be on Switch.
No game company in the world is dumb enough to end a 4+ million selling franchise.

I think you are looking too much at a press release and not enough at how big the budget is though.
And THAT is why i'm frustrated. World genuinely looks like an improvement over MH 3DS in almost every way. I want the series to keep the big differences that are in World.
But that will only happen with A ) the good dev team and B ) possibly a big budget

Yeah and MH Tri on Wii had better graphics, bigger budget, and all that jazz over the PSP line. 75%+ of the MH fanbase in Japan said "nope" to MH Tri on Wii.
I'm just saying in terms of sales ... Japan giveth zero fucks about that.
The next "mainline" MH for the Japanese market is the one that arrives on Switch. Even Capcom knows this, that's why they weaseled their way out of calling MHW Monster Hunter 5 IMO. They can't publically say that obviously, but that was their "bail out" card.
Besides the leaked rumor basically has said as much too, and there was way too much detail there to be all coincidental.
