It isn't a particularly amazing achievement to have guessed the XX naming.
I asked crinale for the source of that claim, and it's this tweet from WSJ's Mochizuki
https://twitter.com/mochi_wsj/status/791882098185424896
He also translated what's in that tweet, so we don't have to rely on sketchy Google Translation's stuff
Given the wording, it really looks like something that, assuming something gets announced on January 12th and comes out by March 2017, can be edited for the next Capcom's Financial Release and Investor Meeting, coming weeks after the Switch's presentation.

Monster Hunter always brings the dramatics. :lol
Well, I wouldn't consider it an easy achivement either.

But trinity doesn't exist does that mean XXX also foesn't exist, probably
Capcom saw kids weren't too hot about Monster Hunter, so instead, they're going to double down on the adult audience. Makes sense.

Kunio-kun Collection out on December 8th in Japan. Guess they waited until River City Ransom SP to announce the date.

That's true, but it's the kind of name you can easily throw around in a "wouldn't it be funny if this silly Japanese company used this silly name?" manner.
If he posted the MH5 info at the same time with the MXX name, I'd maybe find the rumor believable. But since he apparently only posted it afterwards it strikes me as a situation where he unexpectedly made a right prediction and then used that to stir up some shit. He's probably laughing right now.
That this Monster Hunter was the G version of X with 3DS the leading platform was speculated many months ago. Guessing such an easy name couldn't be more easy.
So he posted it after the reveal? Then of course no point even discussing it.
Everyone called it MHXG before. Monster Hunter XX is a super silly name, dude.
If by also, you're referring to the crinale's post you quoted earlier, well
Thus, nothing that significant.
For the latter, there's a crystal clear English Tweet from Mochizuki himself, so no need to refer to the Japanese one. Better to quote the direct source.

The Japanese is pretty much the same but adds that their business approaches and machines are different.
What a weird thing to say though. Like what the fuck.
What does that even mean? Multiplat games are everywhere.
That probably means no RE7 for Nintendo Switch and no MH for PS4.

That's the most probably outcome for that statement, though funnily enough RE is probably one of the few major AAA franchises that has a sizeable fanbase on Nintendo systems
Maybe why Revelations 2 wasn't on the 3DS
That's just dumb. Skyrim and NBA are ""coming"" to the NS so their excuse is pretty much moot.
I'm not sure there's anything to be read into this statement, other than "we don't want to tell you, so here's a bullcrap PR answer instead".

Anyway, main team behind MHXX:
Ryozo Tsujimoto (Producer of the Monster Hunter series)
Yasunori Ichinose (Director of the Monster Hunter series)
Shintaro Kojima (Producer)
Daisuke Ichihara (Director)
Takuro Hiraoka (Main Planner)

Was Ichinose Series Director before?

Different demographics i guess? Like chibi games is Nintendo territory while realistic edgy art is all Sony region.

It's Capcom, they're well known for making all sorts of questions decisions and excuses. There's good reason they're primary cash cow is MH, as it'a probably the only current relevant UP they haven't mismanaged.

If RE7 Switch happens it won't be the vanilla version.
I'd say that means every ps4 game gets an ns port but the opposite doesn't happen. You'll see.
I should remember to use the fake tag =/
I'd say the opposite.
I guess that was sarcasm.
RE4 was the last mainline game in the franchise that appeared on Nintendo consoles. Just saying.
I was referring to the English tweet.
Yeah, it's a very weird thing to say. There's always been a weird level of platform association with franchises in Japan though.
I always said that would be a barrier in regards to securing the PS-centric franchises and developers.

I'm well aware of that. I said IF.
But Switch is not a regular Nintendo console. It's also a handheld.

It's Capcom's best interest to have their games available in handheld form. Unless they want to grow irrelevant in their domestic market. 
A couple more mobile updates.
DeNA and Silicon Studio have released Fantasica Bloodlines in test markets. It's a new RPG based on the previously successful Fantasica tower defense games. Initial impressions don't seem great, but sections of the mobile audience like some rather questions titles, so we'll see how that goes over in the not too distant future.
Square Enix has also put up a teaser for something that looks like it's related to Final Fantasy Legends and is directed by Takashi Tokita.

Those are textbook "test games" that will almost assuredly flop, because there's zero evidence that Nintendo is putting any real effort into actively cultivating the 17-35 Western male target demographic (namely, by investing massive sums of money into Western first-party development and moneyhatting third-party content).
Just to add a little more, Sinobi's blog is also talking about the possibility of MH XX for Switch at launch. But just assumptions.

Apologies for the double-post, but it's worth it.
Remember when Super Mario Run was announced, how we speculated that Nintendo changed the release order of the mobile game? Well, Kimishima confirmed just that during the meeting with investors yesterday.
Here's a relevant bit (translated by Cheesemeister):
About the Pokémon GO syngergy bit, the announcement of the 2DS bundle for NSMB2 today (out on Dec. 15th) is most definitely not a coincidence.

If it's available at both 3DS and Switch day one Double Cross is not silly at all.
Capcom weighs in on their mobile and PC f2p performance:
Their sales predictions for their upcoming games are unchanged.
Monster Hunter Generations did 800K in the first half of the fiscal year, with Resident Evil 5 doing 500K (both are worldwide numbers).
They do confirm that the Monster Hunter Stories mobile game was developed internally, and that they bundle Asia into their Japanese unit sales predictions now.

As I said in the other thread, I think we can assume western sales amount to ~750k (max) since weekly sales in Japan have been around 1-2k in the past couple of weeks. Around 700-750k, actually.
Also, quite amusing that MHS mobile game ended up the game developed internally, while the main game was outsourced.

How long did it take japanese publishers to ditch DS in favor of 3DS? For instance, is it likely that the next mainline monster hunter/pokemon games are going to be Switch exclusives or 3DS/Switch games?

If there is an increase, it will be for NSMB2 (closest gameplay and graphics to SMR).
Edit: ha ha! Look what Nintendo just announced for Dec. 15th:
