It is, come to think of it, this is ALL Capcom has left of staying alive, especially in Japan. RE7 failed, DR4 failed, SF5 failed, DMC failed, now MHW is left...

Tencent is eyeing for potential killer deal lol.^▪^
They need to try a new IP like KT did with Nioh and succeeded.
I know Deep Down they could do it.
Dragon Dogma and Deep Down great success sure is inspiring enough lol.

It's strange to have this reports during the week (they always are on the weekends). Maybe stock situation might be improving?
We'll need to find a new cause for concern
Not Portable in Japan and no local MP?
Oh, that's good to hear. I missed the announcement.

Those games only failed because they had numbers in their title.
MHW dropped the number so definitely won't.
Japanese players still don't like paying for PS+.
That and the lack of local multiplayer aren't doing this any favours.
Right. There is still going to be a limit on sales for this in Japan, no matter how hyped some of the fanbase gets.
You still have to pay for ps plus, no local co op, and it's on console rather than portable.
Will buy Resident Evil World and Devil May World.
Still waiting for that Megaman World hiks.
Switch II exclusive launch title. Featuring brand new characters Pacifist Ken and Angelic Ryu.
Street Fighter II the World Warrior World
No portable and online only were confirmed since the beggining, what I am talking about are those made up concerns like casualized/westernized gameplay, lack of weapons, that imaginay fee that nobody from Capcom ever hinted, etc.
Comments about Capcom only having what they showed on the demo after 4 years of dev time have already appeared, so it's a matter of time anyway.

I think it's not completely ridiculous to expect a rather limited number of monsters/content at launch, with regular updates down the line, akin to SFV (but hopefully better)
The 4chan rumour is probably one of the biggest why all those concern is there.
Not to forget, a new big leap for MH usually had more limited monster number like Tri on Wii.
It's time to play Resident Honest, House Fighter, Human may cry and Stoneman
and don't forget, Lazy Akuma, Happy Bison, Brainwashed Chun Li and Sexy Makoto will come to the roster as paid dlcs

Mistwalker's (Sakaguchi) new game with Silicon Studio (Bravely Default, Octopath) is Terra Battle 2 for iOS/Android/PC, in case people were wondering what that turned out to be.
The market has grown so much since we got estimates that it's hard to say. We know Sega has a few games that sit around the 20s or 30s for a given month are making $4+ million a month, so I would be surprised if you could get to #10 with less than $10-$15 million a month. The top of the heap is more like $60 million a month, but we don't have great data for around #10 at this point specifically.
1.) Not every developer has more staff to actually work on a Switch version and convert all the art assets, even if their technology works on the platform.
2.) A lot of developers don't use technology that would easily go over. If they're making a game on Unreal or Unity, sure, but a proprietary engine isn't going to get over there immediately.

Underwater combat was awesome. It is the most dynamic feature the series has added. Sad it isn't coming back. It's legit so dumb to watch any amphibious creature jump into water after MHTri and you just like watch it swim away.
Off topic though
Nioh sold less globally than MH4U did just in the west. Dragon's Dogma was a new Capcom IP that already sold more than Nioh did too and they didn't bother following that up.
What they need is a new Souls level seller, not Nioh.
Terra Battle is dope tho

It's redundant when they have DDO and when MHW is aiming for the west.
It is outdated already though.
Your face is outdated.
Me no play inferior mobile game.♡¤♡
Hortensia Saga is better bruh. Accept that TB2 is coming because no one care about TB anymore lol.

Really looking forward to this week data (before anyone ask: take a look at OP's date, add 7 days, and you have the date and time next numbers go up). Finally about to exit that horrible, slow ass period. Sadly, doesn't looking like we're out of the Switch shortages hell any time soon.

Logic says shipments will have a higher base from now on. If they don't drop below 30k after Arms we could see small increases week after week until the big one of Splatoon 2.
Your inferior. My Z mages are weeping.
Mhm what do you mean? I haven't kept up with TB (and potential clones or similar games)
Sadly yes.
Haha. Just kinda joking as i dont see Terra Battle being in anyway popular anymore when there are so many new mobage keep coming day and out.^^

Hope is all Mistwalker fans have left.
I did that post just to make a pun. I didn't have time to think about what Capcom needs to actually do to bring themselves out of repeated failures even after using profits from Monster Hunter 4 to invest in mobile which doesn't look like it has bore fruit for them.
I haven't tried it, Granblue Fantasy is enough for me
Found a handy chart over on the Japanese forums. It shows what days Switch was available to purchase from Nintendo and how fast they sold out.
