During Persona's fiscal year? How?

This is what Persona Central thinks regarding the 570 million yen loss of ATLUS.

Interviews make it pretty clear but after seeing unedited footage its clear that Monster Hunter World is Monster Hunter 5 in everyway but name.
This doesn't look like a westernized or simplified game at all, looks like Monster Hunter, new additions to gameplay seem built upon the mechanics of 4 and what can be done with better hardware.
It's pretty impressive looking, both graphically and mechanically.

Some mechanics have very much been simplified if not outright removed. The paintball/throw mechanics are seemingly entirely altered for something far easier, tracking is more of a minigame now as well, and multiple monsters won't automatically try to kick a Hunter's face in and may fight each other (which makes multi fights potentially much, much easier). Healing as well. There are little changes here and there, that become either apparent or confusing with more footage, but they're being noticed and discussed the the larger thread.
But we should all already know this is MH5. As I've said this is a project that got caught by market changes/failure of the PS4 to take off and with that the messaging shifted to where the consoles are successful and potentially capable of sustaining this venture away from portables.

I don't think anyone should be shook until Nintendo proves they can provide consistent stock (at a higher level) week in and week out.
It has a better chance than MHW.

Matt said it was very much made for the Western market, so I'm assuming there's more than we know at the moment that was changed.
I hope there is a more traditional entry being made for the Switch to fall back on, because I don't see MHW-type ventures being the franchise's future. Not being on a portable and not being on a (successful) Nintendo system doesn't make sense for this franchise. It's kinda like trying to make handheld-only Call of Duty happen or something.

If MHW is MH5, are we not going to see a game named MH5? Are they going to skip straight to MH6? Or maybe abandon numerals altogether?
MHW can be a system seller.

But i was told its a "spinoff" not a "real game" not on a real "system" :"(

I guess that could depend on World's performance. If it flops, they should just name the next one 5. If it succeeds, I assume they will abandon numerals.
When every other franchise on the Playstation has seen a steady decline and has been unable to crack 500k (with the exception of FF), World, which has has been a bit more tailored for the tastes of the rest of the world will somehow buck the trend seems a bit, unrealistic don't you think?
As said before, Capcom will be watching DQXI very carefully. If that fails to generate anything long-term (it will obviously cause a launch spike) then tale has long since been finished and now we're waiting on the ink to dry, so to speak.

Just like how MHtri sold a little over 1m with extreme price cuts when the franchise was stronger and on stronger hardware that sold more software.
It required a monthly fee which limited its potential. Why pay a monthly fee for MH3 when you can just play it on PSP for free?
MHW will face a similar problem with PS+.

Really? Weird game to watch seeing as its already being undercut by the 3DS and even the switch, and its not like then switch version is some secret, they aren't bringing it up in sight of the ps4 version but they have confirmed it multiple times
Wait, is KH3 confirmed for 2018?

Honestly, if Capcom has a Switch MH in the works, they'll be fine. It's a good idea to have a MH game that can be played on the platforms most western gamers use and if it can sell a few hundred thousand units in Japan, great.
Now, if they don't have something planned right now for Switch beyond XX....that's bad.

Oh, I was thinking I missed some info lol.
But yeah, I'm thinking late 2018 seems plausible
I'm sure they do. They'd be totally braindead to not have anymore new portable MH. There is definitely a cultivated market for it. Switch will hopefully be better positioned stock-wise as well by that point
Too far apart. Same problem as what faces the PS4 this year into next for at least 6-8 months.

Just watched the leaked demo. There's a lot of running around and the fight was beyond scripted, it played exactly like all the written previews. I hope Capcom has prepared something more organic for the 20th, especially now that the demo has leaked. They wouldn't have the nerve to stream the exact same thing would they?
Yes, they're going to showcase that demo. Why wouldn't they? It's the game.

I don't mind seeing the same area and boss, but I'm hoping for at least a different approach, and not the same scripted fight I just watched.
Horii just announced that both versions of Dragon Quest XI have gone gold, meaning that they should be released as intended without any delays.

Reservations for Gundam, especially the limited edition, are quite interesting to follow. However the biggest one is Dragon Quest XI, the PS4 version is the version shown at stores and the popular one.

?
Persona 5 is the only game Atlus has developed for PS4 to date and they have nothing else announced for the platform. They have three 3DS games lined up for the rest of this year alone.
Or are you speculating that unannounced games have moved to PS4?

It also had local co-op.
Separate mode from the main game without any character progression so it was largely ignored.

Pretty sure it was stated that there was no local multiplayer in MHW.

I don't recall another console JRPG with this kind of leg in recent memory. This game was released in February! Four months and still charting, in top ten!
With 83 consoles last week it was 27.291. There isn't a clear patttern but weekend shipments increased a bit. Everything depends on how much Nintendo shipped at Friday, but something close to 50k for the week looks indeed a good estimate.
wow............
lol no
gotta give some credits to Zelda also, it has been in the top 10 and top 5 for too long for a zelda game
what a clusterfuck of epic proportions.
that's over 1000 sales lost in 1 store, in 1 city at 1 specific point in time..
At this point it's clear Nintendo is losing 20k~50k sales per week, depending on releases...disastrous.
when does it make sense to divert hardware from less interested countries? I read there are switches sitting unsold in finland and other EU areas.
You really shouldn't put a lot of stock into those reports imo. In the best case, they have a superficial layer of inventory that hasn't sold yet. I really don't believe it's the case that there are thousands of units every week being shipped to countries with a surplus.

thats rough.. does capcom not understand why Monster Hunter is popular in japan or are they just saying we dont care?
Zelda is one of the two games worth buying on Switch so I'm not surprised with the leg.
Nier though, unbelievable. For comparison, P5 dropped out of top 20 after five weeks. Even FFXV only stayed in top 20 for 13 weeks. Nier Automata is still chilling in top ten after four months.

Doesn't read OPs, especially not his own
I always like seeing the store setups for bigish games in japan
And FFXV was in the charts because it was discounted. NieR is still full price.

They're going to keep releasing portable Monster Hunter in Japan.
