Based on the Beta and the pre-orders I think we can already say that it's going to sell really well on those consoles.

Its not held back by a handheld anymore.

No more zoneing, its all seamless, so it feels like 1 big place... instead of waiting for loading screens, and area's not feeling connected between zoneing.
Theres more to do with the enviroment, ledges to fling yourself from to land on monsters backs, pits & traps to lure them into, plant spore based boosts, ect.
Monster Behavori and AI are vastly improved, and how they interact with one another, and the world, players ect.

The list goes on and on.
in short its the best Monster Hunter has ever been, gameplay wise, and looked.

But digital is so convenient!

But it's not NA only.But I added not available in Europe.

It is, but P.T. was a bit of a wake-up call for me concerning whether or not I own something.

I feel like this series has just as much potential to evolve and move forward on the switch as it does on the PS4. I mean we're simply no longer at the point where handheld tech is huge generational gaps behind home consoles. It really is a shame that Capcom was short sighted enough to skip the switch with this one. 

Do you still have it on your HD?

I do, actually, but I'm in constant fear of losing it to corruption.

The time it takes me to switch a game is about 25 seconds. I think I can put up with 25 seconds of effort without having a stroke.

Beta is awesome and have a great feedback from those who tried it old and newcomers alike.  
Streamers from the fan of the series also helped the excitement from newcomers. 

Also, this is the first time MH will not be using PS2 assets. First MH that's on par with current Gen Graphics so I am not surprised by the excitement from MH fans. So yes one of the reason is it looks way way better from the PS2 assets from previous MH. 

Just one thing to point out PS5 and the next XBox will be coming either 2019 or 2020. There will be a huge gap again in terms of Graphical prowess and power. 
Also, Capcom is not short sighted. It's a business decision where Switch is not part of that equation because the platform doesn't exist outside Nintendo.
From Capcom itself. 

"We don't have any plans for the Switch at the moment. Part of the reason is that the title has been in development for almost 4 years. At the time we had to commit to our hardware choices, we decided on using the most powerful current generation consoles available at the time, which was Playstation 4 and Xbox One. So [the decision was made] before the Switch was even announced or on sale.

It's also because for every title we decide what the best fit for hardware is for the concept. We don't just look at everything. It's more like “if we want to achieve this kind of game concept, where's the best place to achieve that?” and for this title the Playstation 4 and Xbox One were the best fit for us."
