I can see Capcom doing a 'Capcom 1' deal with Sony for MH5 on PS4.
Worked out so well with Street Fighter V.
I can see Capcom doing a 'Capcom 1' deal with Sony for MH5 on PS4.
Dragon Quest XI's multi platform sales will be an interesting litmus test to see if similar results could be achievable with a hypothetical multiplat MH5.
Worked out so well with Street Fighter V.
I think that had more to do with the barebones/competitive approach they made at launch, rather than the exclusivity. Exclusive games can do well if they deliver.
I doubt MH on PS4 would perform similarly to DQ. This isn't or wouldn't be Capcom's first console foray for MH, it does not turn out particularly well.

The way I look at it is this. The West has shown multiplatfork is the way to go, where even big exclusive with wide appeal like Uncharted 4 don't make it into the Top 20 in the US where a more core focused previously semi niche game like Dark Souls does.
Did you really just come into a thread about the Japanese market, to say, who cares what the Japanese market thinks?
Many Japanese companies DO still consider their home Japan, and DO care about if their product is successful in Japan. Of course Western sales are valuable to Japanese companies, however, many aren't ready to throw their regular consumers under the bus for some imaginary promised land.
Dude I've been browsing MC threads for years now. I know how quick people to dismiss western/digital sales around here.
Just go back and look how people were celebrating Typo 0 and FF XV "low " Japanese sales when in reality both titles exceeded SE's expectations (largely thanks to western sales).
I used to not think about it much but after FF XV it was clear to me that a large number of posters here have something against PS4 3rd party titles.

Finally a comparison with good selling systems for Switchsnip
In Japan FFXV sales are the lowest for a mainline FF game since FFIII.I used to not think about it much but after FF XV it was clear to me that a large number of posters here have something against PS4 3rd party titles.
This is a battle you are not going to win lol. Just sit back and enjoy the meltdowns when the game is announced for PS4 as well as 3ds/switch.Dude I've been browsing MC threads for years now. I know how quick people to dismiss western/digital sales around here.

P5 will sell over 1 million outside Japan?
There's no reason for release a PS4 or Switch exclusive on Japan right now and I think Capcom will do this with MH 5. Unless Nintendo or Sony help her ($$$) in the development
And I don't understand why there's some people here who want the game to be exclusive

Ryusoffice Corporation, the company that registered the RPG.jp domain name for Atlus, registered several Persona-related domain names on April 18.
The list of newly registered domains include:
P3D.jp (Persona 3 Dancing?)
P5AG.jp (Persona 5 A fter Golden?)
P5D.jp (Persona 5 Dancing?)
P5R.jp (Persona 5 R acing?)
P5U.jp (Persona 5 Ultimax / Persona 5 Arena?)
Persona-Dance.jp (Persona Dancing portal site?)
PQ2.jp (Persona Q: Shadows of the Labyrinth 2?)
Speaking of Persona!

It begins.
I still can't believe some people are taking that 4chan random rumor seriously.

Capcom should just split MH into two series: a home console series and a portable series.
.
I wish Capcom would just announce platforms for MH already so we can stop having the discussion every MC.
After the success of Nioh, Nier, FFXV, Persona 5, RE7 etc you would think people would stop underestimating 3rd party titles on the PS4.
Oh wait I forgot that this is the Media Create thread where everything is decided by the Japanese market performance and western/digital sales have absolutely no weight whatsoever in companies investment decisions.
Capcom should just split MH into two series: a home console series and a portable series.
Prior to this past year I don't recall the discussion being this rampant.
MH is on 3DS since 2011, do you think the discussion ended all these years? Vita and PS4 were present at every announcement.
Neither has the Switch4) When you sell 4 million units in Japan and the PS4 has no million sellers it's insane ton make an exclusive for it.
You look at these points. Of course this is a huge topic of discussion. MH is a huge franchise.

The switch will have a few by it's first year-ish. Even the Wii u managed that.Neither has the Switch
Maybe I'm wrong, but I can't see Monster Hunter selling over 2 mi in any of this consoles (or even less). So that's why I think that Capcom is going multiplat
This or they're gonna release the game to 3DS. Because...why not?
Tri.It started from MH3G/MH4 announcement and it didn't stop since then.
Tri.
Why? Why develop different games (which arent even different, it will be almost identical gameplay) on all different platforms when its the same people buying these games anyway? This would piss me off more than their yearly G updates. Don't spread the fans of the series out.
Why not just make the series Multiplat? Especially given they just merged the titles from split to only mainline literally last gen.
The Switch is strong enough that this shouldnt be an issue. A strong Switch version upgraded on PS4/X1/PC will go over fine.
It was. You werent looking hard enough.

The Switch is going to have more million sellers in one caledender year than the PS4 is going to have in its lifetime. Can we not do this?
Just curious, what titles are these?
Mario Kart 8D

BotW will be a million seller switch + Wii U combined by this time next year I bet.
Yea, people were clamoring for PS4 port back in 2011 when the system wasn't even announced....
Did 3D world make it to 1m in Japan?
If it has to be combined then it doesn't count as a Switch million seller
Plus there was that tease by Capcom at the NGP conference when they showed P3rd running on the system.They were clamoring for a Vita port. It was bad. Really bad.
But that actually made more sense at the time than the current discussion because Vita is a portable and MonHon had been a massive success on the PSP.
But the ps4 is only getting 1, maybe 2 million sellers in its life.
You mean PS4 will get at least 2 million sellers. FFXV is practically there (with digital it should have been for a while) and DQXI will outsell FFXV.
FFVIIR has a very good chance to outsell both XV and DQXI. If remakes to mainline DQ games that sold 3~4 million can sell 700k~2 million, surely a remake of a 4 million selling FF can sell over a million. VII and Cloud are the most popular Final Fantasy properties.
And with the series format we'll get at least a full game worth of time with Aerith. The next best thing to reviving her is to lengthen the time you can spend with her.
