Precicely. Capcom has mistreated Nintendo to such a degree this generation, they will get burned eventually. They need Nintendo in order to survive, and most fans are getting (understandably) pretty angry / upset.

Monster Hunter World proved that they don't need Nintendo. Both re7 and Monster Hunter have sold extremely well on ps4, the latter at a higher price point then the old games + a GAAS model to insure future content. 

RE7 sold much less than RE6 and as a franchise, is on decline. MH was a huge surprise, but games like SFV and Marvel vs Capcom surely evened out the profits. Basically, every Capcom game on PC / PS4 / Xbox seems like a huge gamble, either a huge success or a monumental failure.

Capcom doesn't need Nintendo to survive, at all. The way they're treating the Switch is pretty infuriating, but let's not kid ourselves. 

I'm wondering how the hell Nintendo is letting this abomination exist.

Don't overestimate the effect that MHW had. Don't get me wrong, it was a great success for Capcom, and they should never go back to being Nintendo-only or handheld-only, but for every MHW there were a SFV and Capcom vs Marvel disaster. 

Meanwhile, on Nintendo platforms, they always had great success (MH on handhelds) or mild, profitable successes like RE on Switch, Phoenix Wright games, etc. Basically Nintendo is very risk averse for them, and they would be stupid to turn their backs on them, which is exactly what they are doing.

Let's not act as if the likes of street fighter v or marvel vs capcom cancel out monster Hunter world. Capcom recently announced profits for the company are at an all time high. They've never been in such a good position financially as they are now. 

 

Also this post is well worth a read for all those pretending they know capcom could easily port this to switch. If you want easy ports, ask Nintendo to make hardware at least on par to the competition.

Re7 was made on a massively smaller budget compared to re6 and re5 and isn't even that far behind sales wise compared to the others. It's probably the more profitable entry.

Cram that PS4 into a handheld? Easy peasy, right?

MHW, RE5, RE6, RE7 (before the Switch version comes, MHF3

 

Also their most expensive to make titles.

They are at all time highs with little to no Nintendo titles, they are fine, statements like what you said are so far from the truth.

Tomb Raider 2013 set off the wave of late last gen "Definitive Editions" to current consoles, if this game is anyway successful, we will see pretty much all gaming companies follow the model in some capacity.

Also, funny thing, this might be a Japan play but it ain't going over well. Dislike ratios on the announcement trailer aren't pretty and while I can't read Japanese, the idea must have gotten shredded in the comments cause they've disabled them now. :P

Their videos always have comments disabled. Please spin again.

lol, need Nintendo?

I guess that explains why, according to Capcoms own financials site, the top 5 best selling Capcom games of the last 10 years have not appeared on Nintendo devices.

MHW, RE5, RE6, RE7 (before the Switch version comes, MHF3

That's a bit skewed. I'm not sure whether Capcom direly needs to do well on Nintendo hardware or not to survive, but they've had their ups and downs,  considering that the 3DS Monser Hunter games were the biggest source of income for Capcom for many years now. However, Capcom's attitude towards the Switch in particular is baffling, especially after the 3DS was quite well supported by them.



You know it deserves the GOTY.

Their share is obviously inflated due to the recent success of MHW. It is bound to fall back to regular values sooner than later. Nintendo was at an all time high during their Wii + DS era, and we know how that turned out in just 1 year.  Alienating and angrying your fans is never a good thing.

After hours of thinking about it at work the only logical reason for this is the switch was hacked so rather than people pirating the game they want you to pay to play.

Ok still a paranoid reason if true lol.

There's probably a reason they are doing this and I can only blame Nintendo. They're the ones that do everything within their reach to scare third party developers. I don't actually care about this game, but I feel sorry for anyone expecting good third party on the Nintendo Switch, it's not going to happen. If you truly care about decent third party support, buy a PS4.
