For a game like Monster Hunter, the costs aren't as important. They maintain a huge team that is always working on the next game. The only thing that'll inflate the cost of development is the amount of time required (which were talking 2-3 years of development regardless of platform) or outside factors like marketing. If Capcom was truly hit hard by HD development costs and wanted to ride the Wii, then they any of their other dozen projects would have been moved to Wii like MH3. 

Do you truly believe that most of these publishers receive some sort of compensation for supporting platforms? It might not be as prevalent now as it was in that generation, but there are so many documented cases of people paying for exclusivity or just outright publishing (as Sony did with SFV and Nintendo did with MH4U and MH Stories). Resident Evil 4 is another perfect example of Nintendo paying for a game. The contract ran out and so they released it on other platforms. It's the same case with Dead Rising. Capcom is infamous for their partnerships with Nintendo, Microsoft, and Sony.

It's also funny that you bring up FF13 because that never would have happened if not for MS paying for it.

I don't understand where the notion that Nintendo doesn't play the same games as everyone else comes from...

Too bad that is not how executives think. They see their game selling bad on a system and their conclusion is one of two things.

1. The franchise is dead/caput, make no more of said game.

2. Our games don't sell well on that system, move to another system.

No where do they think, "hmm, if only we made the game better, or had less microtransaction woudl it sell better"

BTW, I heard that one of the big reasons for Worlds on consoles is because they feel that they can do microtransactions more on that system versus on handhelds. SO don't be surprised if we soon hear about some of that fun stuff closer to release. You know how WB ruined Shadow of War and NBA 2k18 is ruined by micro's.

really sad Japan numbers. I mean it is not that high. come on japanese people buy more console games. enough of mobile. :)

First of all what Im talking about a franchise which is about as easy to predict its sucess on a hybrid system as MH.MHW would sell gangbusters on the Switch.DW 9 is not a garantee by any means, and its developed by another company(Koei), which already has a mosuo game comming to the Switch that has a higher chance to appeal to that audience than DW 9(Which would be FE Warriors).

For DQ XI, its most likely because they already have the 3DS version as the portable option, so there wouldnt be the need to rush its release, for as much as this sucks.That in turns would maximize sales, because then you would have the pS4 version on a portable system some months later, which would make the 3DS owners double dip, instead of just jumping to the Switch version instead(My guess obviously).But even then, this goes against the first point you brought up, since DQ XI for Switch was announced before these versions released, and as far as I can see, it didnt canabilize the sales of these said versions.The same could be said for MHW(even though i actually agree with you that this way they will sell more, as shitty as this sounds).

And its not me that thinks porting is easy.Its the countless developers that make actual games that have said so.Of course that easy is relative, since it still take months to bring over the game, depending how big and ambitious said game is, but its nowhere near like bringing to the Wii U( a game it can handle).
