So super late ports/remasters and a low budget remake that all sold poorly everywhere and missing some digital data if I'm not mistaken. No matter, Switch probably has a selling advantage on lower tier games across the board (it's not limited to JRPGs), I'm pretty sure it already has a bigger library than PS4 even though it launched much later, because a larger part of its library is small games whose publishers/developers didn't see much value in putting them on PS4 and Xbox. In most cases, exclusives/platform-skips aren't moneyhatted.

SE doesn't develop DQ but they co-own, publish, and fund it. And all parties involved as opposed to SE alone can get ambitious if they want to.

Sounds like we agree that a true PS5 exclusivity is off the table anyways, and I think Curl agrees too. The moneyhatting he was referring to is probably "exclusively NOT on the Switch" seeing as how Sony doesn't view Xbox and PC as relevant in Japan.

I'm sure you also found the idea of the next Monster Hunter skipping Nintendo to be funny before World, and you didn't entertain the thought of it selling 6-10 million, let alone 22+ million. People thought it wouldn't even outsell Generations Ultimate on Switch.

We gave valid reasons as to why it could skip the first Switch. It doesn't mean it will mind you but I don't get what's funny about it. You never thought MHW would have skipped Nintendo platforms either. When are you expecting Switch 2 and DQXII to launch?
