Dont give capcom to much credit lol. But this gamble paid off. The beta and Word of mouth help this out big time

It would have been nice if there was a proper console version (on all consoles) alongside the handhelds.

The question is how Capcom will move forward. There's something to be said for future console MH games being a clear step forward from MHW. If the sequel is developed for PS4/XBO and Switch simultaneously, that may be challenging, but it will save them more money on development costs. On the other hand, if they produce exclusive Switch MH games, while more expensive to do, it'll incentivize people to buy both the console MH games, and the Hybrid MH games on the premise that they are completely different games.

There's no winning either way, if it failed it'd just be Nintendo fans saying how much better it would have done on the Switch and how the series can't survive without them.

Unfortunately this is a cycle that will never be broken.

So one can't put blame on Nintendo HH for the smaller sales of previous MH, but need to accept that the success of MHW is due to those versions? How is that?

The real shit posting was when people tried claiming playstation no longer had a fanbase for monster hyjte and because Nintendo took it all to 3ds. In reality it now looks like capcom missed out on a hell of a lot of sales because they went Nintendo exclusive for a gen. 

This, the Monster Hunter series was never the be all end all for Ninty HHs, the games will do well if they are well received and well advertised. No matter the system its on (for the most part)

That's hilarious coming from you The guy who was all like:

"Waaah, we Nintendo gamers popularize the franchise and Capcom back-stabbed us! waaah"

"I hope this casualized shit fails. I predict 1.5-2 million."

"Evil Sony paid greedy Capcom to keep it off Switch! The butthurt leaker said so!"

Have some shame and bless us with your silence.

I understand that this site is starting to turn into N4G, but you guys have to stop jumping down people's throats because their opinions of a game differs from yours. I've played past MH games and yes they are about skill, crafting and equipment but you obtain this stuff through grinding. Its essentially how people put hundreds of hours into these games, it certainly wasn't for the story narrative.

Also why don't people wait for a full breakdown of where these shipments went to before claiming victory over something! Unless you own stock in CAPCOM and are personally offended because you worked on these games yourselves. Many of you are going after people on here like its your 9-5...

lol.. MH support for Switch is inevitable. If Monster Hunter World is going to turn out as successful as these numbers indicate, I'm predicting there will be two main teams making future Monster Hunter games:

Team A: Multiplat MH with Switch as the lead platform (Won't look as impressive as Monster Hunter World, but it will run @60fps/1080p on base PS4, and full 4K/60fps on PS5)
Team B: Next gen exclusive (PS5/Next-box/PC) May get ported later for Switch-2.
