Plus Sony is so desperate in Japan that they...released the console last over there and barely made or even promoted any games targeted at that region, instead focusing all of their development on projects that would sell well globally.
It was precisely because of that deal that Resident Evil: Code Veronica is not called Resident Evil 4.

Hey for shit's and giggles, do you think Sony would hypothetically​have Capcom make something Vita compatible in addition to the PS4? 
Or because CV was always a spinoff designed to keep a promise to Sega.

Huh? Code Veronica has nothing to do with this Capcom five deal, and it would have been called RE 3 not 4.
Maybe I've got my wires crossed, but I recall hearing that.
or they just want the game to sell more than 2 million
Assumption event:
Final Quest 10

Horii "Woohoo! we do MMO!!!"
Fujisawa (...Oh shit, this is bad.............)
Miyake "On what?"
Horii "What is the most popular console that involve kids?" ..... "Wii? okay~ we do it on Wii!"
Fujisawa (...This is really really bad............)
Wada (Sit there having no idea at all) "Here, money, take this crystal tools with you too."
Miyake "Now we have money, who can do online game? FFXI team?"
Saito "No! it's me! I have team, Orca is my b*tch"
YoshiP "Count me in too! I'm cool"
Fujisawa "Please no, Wii ok but no MMO"
YoshiP "F*ck off!"
Horii "MMO!"
Saito "(laugh)"
Fujisawa "........................I hate you all"
----------------------------[201*]----------------------------
YoshiP "OK, I'm done" (next station > FFXIV ARR)
Fujisawa "W.T.F."
Saito "Keep doing"
Miyake "Seem like we print a lot of money, good job Saito"
Horii "Woohoo!"
Saito "Woohoo! now do NieR or I quit"
Miyake "!!!"
Fujisawa "I quit"
Saito "K, bye"
Final Quest 11
----------------------------[20**]----------------------------
Horii "Woohoo! we do big screen!!!"
Miyake "How?"
Saito "Leave it to me, Orca is my b*tch"
Horii "PS4 only!"
Saito "WRYYYYYY"
Matsuda "STOP!!!"
Miyake "Staffs need to eat, you old hag!"
Horii "................k......"
----------------------------[2***]----------------------------
Saito "We do NX too" (Didn't know spec, didn't have devkit yet)
**devkit arrival**
Horii "What the f*ck is this shit?"
Miyake "SAITOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!"
A largely JP focused title at E3... doubtful.

CV was considered RE3 internally at Capcom, but they had a deal with Sony for numbered titles being on PS1. RE3 Nemesis was internally called RE1.9 or something, and was called RE Gaiden at one point.
I'm going to guess not E3, but maybe before TGS. August 25th is also the date when P3rd HD got released and the MH3G/MH4 megaton was announced September 12th the same year.

But Capcom said they want to expand outside of Japan so there is a chance

I believe it's fair to say, if you want to play future MH games, you should buy a Switch. Really don't see a console/pc release of MH5. If there was cross-play, sure, but there won't be, so no.
....................
If this "westernized" Monster Hunter is real, then E3 is the natural place to show it.
I think PSX would be a better place, they spent hard on this, then being at PSX would be more special
Exactly what I was thinking: the just-released USFII was a worldwide simultaneous release as well with Nintendo doing the publishing duties in Europe, so treated "like" a Nintendo's own release on Switch.

But why we're assuming this is real now? I don't get it.
Imagining Horii saying something like this....
LOL
This would also explain why we havent seen much from Capcom in terms of announcements. If those are worldwide releases that Nintendo is publishing they would wanna keep the 2nd half of the year announcements until e3.
The move for now and Japan makes sense - so that people feel okay about investing in MHXX 3DS knowing that they can upgrade or play with Switch owners down the line.

The reason it got attention in the first place is because it correctly called MHXX with that name a few hours before the announcement.
And another one of the things on the list just came true:
"mh cross-cross is being rushed to switch launch to set up for mhportable"

I see, I still doubt MH 5 or whatever would be a PS4 exclusive.
Idk,but I think it's going to happen
You know guys, wouldn't Capcom/Sony release a port of Monhun XX just to see how it sells in Japan or worldwide on the PS4?
I also expect Monhun XX on Switch to do at least 500k in Japan. This is a good first year for Switch if Nintendo manages to fix their stock issues
Because according to the rumour it's a Monster Hunter that is for western audiences to expand the IP.
Ergo, dumbed down controls and mechanics.
Edit: Shouldn't Toukiden and God Eater have been successful then? Oh well.
they failed because they didn't have the Monster Hunter brand name, Sony can use the Monster Hunter brand to sell lots of copies and consoles in Japan though

Like MHP3 PS3 or MHO PS4, MH5 will probably do mediocre at best.
P3 was a super late port, and MHO is just a Japan only MMO version of Monster Hunter
If they announce the latter earlier, they would get mad to even care about the former.
MHO is China only. You guys probably mean Monster Hunter Frontier series which is indeed released on console and developed by different team.
MH5 will cause that regardless of the systems. People who have never heard of MH will come out of the woodwork for that one with opinions.
Also, if FFVIIR comes to Xbox or Switch it's gonna be nasty.
One of "those" threads is gonna happen this year you feel.
I think I recall an interview with Reggie about the switch where he was listing games and he listed Smash Bros

So Dragon Quest X got release dates for PS4 and Switch
lol the presentator actually asked about the Switch version of DQXI in the latest livestream. Saito said that due to "adult circumstances" they really can't talk about it at the moment, but when they can they will talk about it. Saito noted how Horii was being extra careful when asked which he usually isn't since he didn't say a single thing in reply to the question.
rushed to Switch launch but missed it by 5 months?
I don't think that supports that rumour very well.
What are "adult circumstances" ?
Principate
Saint Titanfall
I still don't see where that part of the rumour is actually from. It's not actually what the dude said in the original leak or even in that thread. How are people sure it's even from the leaker and what's the source of it.
Maybe we need some numbers for this discussion of expanding MH
What would be a good western performance to show the growth Capcom wants from MH?
I say 1 million LTD in NPD/NA would be the jumping off point.
Company bigwigs telling them not to talk about it.

In what way would the controls and mechanics be dumbed down?
It's a pretty standard Japanese phrase which basically implies (business/politcal) things beyond the person's control. I suppose it's like the saying "That's above my pay grade" in English, but Japanese tends to be more indirect.
Just in reference to the rumour, it's listed there:
Well, this is the full trail from 'the same person', if you're interested.
I'm personally hoping for MH5 PS4 to be a character action game set during the Paul WS Anderson film developed by Ninja Theory.
Japan will buy whatever version of the game they feel like.
Ah okay...heh - yeah its obvious that they shouldnt talk/market the Switch version when they are trying to sell the 3DS/PS4 release. Especially since SE probably hopes alot of people to double dip depending on the release date.
I know I know, it's just funny to see Saito suffer.
