I'd like to talk about Monster Hunter's situation in.Japan in this thread. World did great in the West, it's a success, nobody can that. But then there's Japan.
The game just crossed 2 mio units sold, much more than most expected. Still, MH once was a 4-5 mio units selling franchise in Nihon. I'm sure we can agree that over half of all MH-fans in Japan didn't just vanish. With software-sales of MHW dwindling down, it's unlikely that there's going to be much change in the number of MHW players. Which begs the question: What's going on with the MH-fandom in Japan?
Is Capcom really abandoning million of MH-fans that are seemingly not interested in home console MH? Or will there be a Switch-MH in the near future? Switch-hardware will have caught up to PS4 at the end of the year. There's no reason to wait any longer. If so, do we expect a port of MHW? A new MH-entry based on the new gameplay changes of World? Or an entirely new MH?
Bonus-question, because most of us don't live in Japan: What would ve your reaction if Capcom decided to keep future Switch-MH exclusive to Japan?
