* XX is a quick re-master of the game that was released on another handheld machine couple of months ago.
* It is not even mainline game, just expansion.
* Capcom has annouced MH World on another console, the audience movement is now sporadic. Some might wait for the main game on PS4, some might have already bought the game on 3DS and can't be bothered. Some are still not sure about moving to Switch + Switch stock situation.
It's not hard to believe it will sell 80k.
There's low and them there's low.Yeah they had really low expectations for mh4 iirc. They are just cautious, no way the game doesn't beat them. And they will say that it exceeded expectations and stockholders will be happy.
Correct. Not sure why people expecting it to do insane numbers when no up-rez'd MH port has ever done crazy numbers.* XX is a quick re-master of the game that was released on another handheld machine couple of months ago.

So is it correct to say that MHXX on Switch is the worst selling MH game ever?
So is it correct to say that MHXX on Switch is the worst selling MH game ever? I can't imagine a MH did worse than the Wii U one posted on the last page, outside this current Switch one.

Well MHF abd the village game on PSP did worse.So is it correct to say that MHXX on Switch is the worst selling MH game ever? I can't imagine a MH did worse than the Wii U one posted on the last page, outside this current Switch one.
How much did Frontier did on the 360?
Yikes if those numbers are true, don't think mHXX will do more than 200k. Guess Capcom made a smart choice going multiplat with MHW
These expectations aren't just "unconfirmed", they aren't from Capcom at all.
That's still not entirely clear. The analyst firm gave these out after meeting with Capcom reps directly but it's still not confirmed if the targets originated from Capcom or not.These are not Capcom's expectations... the thread was confusing in that part... it was an analyst's expectations.
How much did 3G sell on WiiU? Was it's comparable to XX?
Neither is really a great comparison. Both were on non-supply constrained tv consoles, one at launch and the other 5 years in, and both were ports of MH games that sold better originally (by orders of magnitude in 3rd's case).Portable 3rd HD is the best game to compare XX for Switch.

Y'all are killin' me.Yikes if those numbers are true, don't think mHXX will do more than 200k. Guess Capcom made a smart choice going multiplat with MHW
What's so stupid about the first HD Monster Hunter and the only Monster Hunter announced at that time?Portable 3rd HD says otherwise.
I agree, but I also believe that it is in Capcom's best interest in protecting their market. Let's say that that a better timing would have traded XX sales for ~50k in the Switch from the 3DS. That is 50k Switches playing MH afteschool instead of Splatoon or any other of the local LAN games that Nintendo is pushing on the system.
Even that would be a much better result because it would at least transition a part of their audience to the new platform.
Yeah it sounds crazy but that's what it is.
A vita ver. of MHXX wouldve sold three times that at least.
Well that's just my opinion, anyways if the 80k number is correct the thing we can say for sure is that they shipped 20k MH bundles max which is lame

These hot takes fuel me lmao.
Q: Following the sales results of Ultra Street Fighter II, what will Capcom's approach to the Nintendo Switch be going forward?
A: The Nintendo Switch seems to be doing very well, and we look forward to further growth in its install base. Beginning with Monster Hunter XX (Double Cross) Nintendo Switch Ver. for Japan, we are evaluating how we will support this platform in the future.
What's so stupid about the first HD Monster Hunter and the only Monster Hunter announced at that time?
Famitsu numbers.Both (3rd HD and XX HD) are ports released on different systems. That's all that matters. First HD and only MH announced announced don't matter at all. What matters is that XX for Switch seems like a proper HD port unlike the 3rd HD that only got a resolution bump. They even left the PSP icons untouched.
Also, it's not like MHW announcement didn't hurt the game but it's funny how most people think it's the main reason for people not buying XX for Switch. I guess FFX should bomb when Square announced FFXI and FFXII along with it.
Famitsu numbers.

MHXX S: ???
Yomawari sales, if 16k is the number combined, just shows how NIS really need to focus their strategy in building some longstanding IPs (that isn't called Disgaea) instead of just making a billion different bombas.
But Yomawari is their attempt at making an IP
They messed around with all these indie-esque games and the first Yomawari was by far and a way the best selling.
It's just showing all MH games aren't equal. Your insistence on comparing only 3rd HD with XX Switch is comparing ports of the best selling game in the series to the worst selling game in the series since then. That has an obvious impact.I don't think this proves anything. In fact i won't be surprised if XX Switch manages to sell more than 3G HD in the end.
Exactly. An enhanced port of a previous game in the series when the next main game is already announced for that system = prologue, a 'move here and get ready' game.Also FFX-XII were all PS2 games, XX and World are on different systems. It's not like MH4 hurt 3G sales, in fact it was quite the opposite.
Yes we know Capcom will surely have something else for Switch eventually, but right now that is what the messaging says to MH fan Switch owners: 'Enjoy your scraps while we prepare a feast for everyone else'.
