Sure they do. It will also pick up once MHW hits. Japan is Monster Hunter crazy. That shit literally prints money there. Monster Hunter is a system seller. The game is going to be wildly popular in japan.

MHW will flop spectacularly.

>>381345139
No they aren't. I looked up that Dark Souls III 400k sales number and Media Create stops charting DS3 at 280k lifetime sales.

There's enough PS4's and PC's out there to make that happen. Die, OP..

>>381345342
Digital sales aren't THAT big in japan. Take Arms for instance it sold 100k physical opening and only 20k digital.

Source? I believe Capcom is dumb but not THAT dumb. That would be asking the game to outsell the best two selling MHs COMBINED.

>>381345139
It could pick up though. Most PS4 games have also been on PS3 in Japan. Once this and Dragon Quest XI hit, they should start moving away from older systems.

>>381346629
There is no source,just a retarded nintendofan shitposting like always.

A 5m target would be more likely, and would maybe reach it if the game is actually good at introducing all the new people to the game

It won't.

Japs only love handheld.

>>381345838
Monster Hunter Tri was the most popular third party game on the wii.

>>381341529
And they'll make 20 million because people can actually play it on something without waggle eye cancer.

They will easily sell 20 million

>>381347319
And it still sold only 1 million units. Worse sales than even the worst selling handheld MH ever.

>>381347319
And that was on the Wii: it had 12 million owners and Tri only sold 1 million. The ps4 is 4 million in japan and most games over there don't even break the 400k mark, let alone 1 million.

>>381347981
Yeah because a lot of them don't want to have to pay for online to play MH with their friends. Also MHW has no local play to boot.

>>381341529
Since everybody here seems to have better business sense than Capcom, what do you all propose Capcom do with the series? Particularly NEW features you want to see implemented. Honestly, I'm personally up for a few solid changes to the series. Its stale as fuck anyway and has been re-using assets for the past 10 years.

>>381348078
But it's not a lie. The best selling console MH was 1 million on a player base of 12 million. console MH is not popular.

>>381348149
>not re-using assets
why would you increase production costs? You'd need to sell a lot more for a profit. You already got a fanbase that will buy regardless that is plenty even while dwindling.

I thought we were talking business, you sound like you just want video games.

Not an argument. PS4 isn't popular in nipland and its games don't sell well there. Even Shu said that much. He specifically stated that he went out of his way to start increased localization efforts because japs aren't buying console games like they used to.

No one said MH wasn't popular, we're saying console MH doesn't sell well in japan and has horrible attachment rates.

No one said Persona wasn't popular either. IT's not super popular like final fantasy or Mario or pokemon but it gets by. Jumping to a completely different series owned by a different company with different demographics and budgets and sale prospects is fucking retarded. No one was arguing flat numbers. Everyone was talking about Console MH as a MH game within the realm of MH. 1 million isn't very good for this series where everything else sells multi millions. Everyone knows 1 million in japan is good, no one said otherwise. what we're talking about is relative to MH and console vs handhelds. 1 million is shit for MH, especially given all the factors within in Tri's favor.

I don't understand why people like >>381349360 think that Japan cares about anything other than handhelds.

>>381349360
Because it's cheap and those devs make super low budget otaku bait garbage made with pocket change. The reason why the PS4 gets so many games there is because it has no competition. Handheld owners is a completely different market so it's not competing with the DS. The xbox sells like absolute shit there and PC is almost nonexistent.

>>381349464

Maybe you should read my entire post instead of ignoring 95% of it like a retard before even trying to argue.

>>381349647
Persona is also low budget shit that doesn't need many units sold to break even. MH is basically the CoD of japan. MH4G alone cost tens of millions of USD to make.

>>381349360

3DS exists and so does the Switch, and they are they are probably more cheap to develop for them since they dont have to spend a lot on fancy graphics unless the whole 'handhelds are popular' is just a narrative you came up with

Probably doesn't help that because of Crapcoms localisation delays, everyone in the west has been able to easily pirate every single mh title in that list prior to translation with the exception of the PS2 titles and 3rd HD, maybe 4U (cant remember 3ds hack timeline) I've just realised - The only MH game ever I've legitimately purchased was mhfu.

You're also stupid for comparing Nintendo sales to PS4 sales. Nintendo games sell a lot more in japan than Sony games do and they have much larger attachment rates. There aren't any PS4 games in japan that have sold over 1 million despite having an install base of 4 million.

That's the point. Capcom is bringing MonHun out to the rest of the world. The series has always been kinda mediocre in terms of international appeal. Well. The rest of the world doesn't play on handhelds. They play on consoles, PCs, and smartphones. Capcom is banking on the consoles and PC to shift more units than the 3DS could via new players outside of Japan.

Of those 60 million most of the only buy shit like CoD and Battlefield and Fifa. MH does not attract them in any capacity. Actual exclusives sell like shit too. BB only sold 2 million and Uncharted 4 only sold 8 million. Uncharted was a forced bundle as well so the only way to get a PS4 was to buy it with Uncharted.

Because the game began development 4 years ago, well before Nintendo even THOUGHT of making the Switch, and then it turned out the Switch was an underpowered piece of shit anyway, so they simply didn't bother.

Blame Nintendo for releasing a console midgen, and making it with last gen hardware to boot.

Monster Hunter already sells great in Japan, if the sales drop when the game costs more to make then it was a foolish move.

And making it so Switch, 3DS or Vita don't get it, seems like Capcom is taking a needless risk.

>>381352651
Then why not just localize XX

>>381352598
>Tri sold 1M on the Wii so this is bad

Something's off here

>>381352602
Its interesting, for how much /v/ talks about this franchise I've never actually met another person who has played one of these games. Not to mention I tried tri and found it pretty boring

>>381352773
They might just do it.

>>381352681
What is ps+? PC will be the only way to play it subscription free

>>381341529
>10m
Where exactly is the target? World wide? I thought this was only comin out in the west?
There's no way this is gonna sell 10m. I fuckin love monster hunter and I know plenty of people who do, but 10 mil is VERY ambitious. Jesus.

>>381348772
Fun is being the best

>>381352682
Yeah my chart was outdated sorry, top 13. Big difference.

>>381352780
Are you fucking dumb? Someone ITT even said that the entire point it comparing Tri, the most successful console MHin japan, to its handheld counter parts. No one aid 1 million is bad for japan, but it's shit for MH sales. Especially given how many people had a Wii and how expensive it is to make MH games.

Stop being fucking retarded, holy shit.

>>381352907
800Y Fee per month on PC to play it online.

No word weather the same will come west.

>>381352880
This is Capcom anon.

>>381352798
Huh? You mean MH? Dude, holy fuck I have an ungodly amount of hours in it. Im talking 3000+, and thats being conservative.

>>381345139
>Knack did better than Automata

IT'S KNACK BABY

>>381352983
Well that would honestly be a deal breaker for me. I would spend $60 on this if it had free online, but if I have to pay an extra sub fuck it, not worth it

>>381352907
That's a different case, you'd actually get stuff out of ps+ and can use it for other games. Wii had normally free online and Capcom specifically made the online paid. This was the only way to play high rank quests mind you.

>>381353080
I meant I've never met another person who has played in real life. The series may be semi popular on here but in America even most gamers have never heard of it

>>381352773
Because it would cannibalize World sales, and confuse newcomers. Same reason MH5 was renamed World.

You shoulda waited for MH on Switch to be confirmed instead of assuming it would come. You only have yourself to blame for buying a console at launch.

There are less Switch owners in the WORLD, than there are PS4 owners in Japan. Do the math. If you're running a business, is placating a niche group of Westerners who were dumb enough to buy Nintendo's latest tablet worth the cost of localizing the game?

3DS with 60 million sales could barely move generations, what makes you think the Switch with 3 million is gonna cover the costs of localization?

You wanna play a new MonHun? Either import XX, or get 5 for PC/PS4/Xbone.

>>381353098
If it got released on steam and used steamworks you could just pirate it and use a fix to play with other pirates.

>>381352940
>I thought this was only comin out in the west?

How retarded are you?

>>381353010
So what, generetion came out to the west

>>381352983
Thats something they were gonna do with tri but dropped it at the last moment. Can anyone confirm, did jap tri have a sub fee?

>>381352261

Yeah. Never gonna be popular in the West. Which is why it's getting TV ads, YouTube ads, is being talked about on just about every western gaming site, has a twitter hashtag that's seeing a lot of use, and is lauded as one of the best games this E3. Right.

>>381353257
So did all the other MH games that got localized but those sold like shit.

>>381353219
>You shoulda waited for MH on Switch to be confirmed instead of assuming it would come.
Except XX is confirmed anon.
If they were worried about World's sales then they wouldn't have released a version in Japan where the brunt of the fanbase exists.

>>381353257
>MHW tv ads and youtube ads
Source?

>>381353256
Yes it did. I'm willing to bet if the sub fee was global the opinion on Tri would be much lower.

>>381353257
Hahaha what? None of that is true. I saw more coverage for Mario and rabbids. I can't speak to the YouTube ads though because I haven't watched one in years

>>381353257
The Last Guardian did that too but look how that turned out.

>>381353236
Apparently not as retarded as you, shit for brains

>>381353257
>has a twitter hashtag that's seeing a lot of use
I think #MHXXForTheWest is seeing more use than anything else.

>>381353196
Ah. I see. I actually introduced it to probably over a hundered people here. Ran an EB Games, modded shitloads of psps on the side. Plenty of beers and hunting. Man we even had an 12 man local hunt all crammed in the same house playing MHFU. Good times.

If you actually thought MHW was only getting a western release you're the dumbest person on /v/.

>>381353345
No, a port of XX from 3DS was confirmed for Japan less than a month ago. Knowing this, if you bought a Switch to play MonHun, you're a fucking retard.

Also, World is meant to be a big push into the western market. That's why XX is left out.

Satisfying less 3 million Switchfags isn't worth the COST of localization, and the RISK of losing new customers.

I don't see how XX and MHw would really compete that much since they aren't even on the same fucking platforms.

ARMS is outselling TLG though. We're talking about sales retard, not reviews.

MonHun has never had full commercials in the west. I just got a MonHun World ad on youtube before a fucking DIY video on how to fix my car.

That's where you're wrong kiddo.

>>381353672
>a port of XX from 3DS was confirmed for Japan less than a month ago
So what you're saying is that MH was confirmed for the Switch and it's just a matter of localization.

>World is meant to be a big push into the western market. That's why XX is left out.
Then, I don't know, maybe don't piss off your western and nip fans with acts like this?
Needless to say they're doing far more damage to the MH brand by neglecting their dedicated buyers.

>>381354042
>maybe don't piss off your western and nip fans with acts like this?

Monster Hunter fans have wanted a Monster Hunter game on a home console for ages in the west.
The Japan market is the iffy one, but this is aimed at western markets so it makes sense to move on from weak hardware.

>>381354017
Yup. Anyone got the pirate image? There was a ton in print media.

>>381354151
Monster Hunter fans are also nonexistent in the west. 90% of all MH sales come from Japan.

>>381354151
Expect we got 2 on consoles and didn't sell amazing.

>>381354151
>Monster Hunter fans have wanted a Monster Hunter game on a home console for ages in the west.
Which is why they went out and bought 3U in droves right?
Then again, maybe you're right, after all there's a lot of commotion about getting XX localized for the Switch.

>>381354376

You got sources for that spicy percentage there?

>>381354376

If they're nonexistent in the west, why should they care about localizing XX then instead of advertising Worlds?

Seems to me like they're doing a good thing by advertising the better game anyway. They already know Switch fans will just buy the JP version.

Them not localizing XX is better advertisement than anything they could pay for.
>B-But nobody will buy Worlds because they're FFFFFFUCKING US!

You're advertising their game. What you won't buy, two others will.

>>381353635
it is only getting a western release, unless you're counting the inferior console pleb version?

>>381354376
Good thing the nips are hard for World then. Rev up those PS4 sales.

>>381354984

This.
Japan is more excited about Worlds than the west which is pretty great.

Believe it or not there is in fact bad publicity. This is an example of it.

MH since the announcement has been tainted by console warring.

Sadly, I fit this criteria.

Not happening but i would die of laughter.

>>381355694
it will flop in the west, it will "do well" in japan but never get anywhere close to 3 mil sales let alone 10 mil

there's no backpedaling here, the game will still flop regardless of japan.

>>381356352
>but never get anywhere close to 3 mil sales let alone 10 mil
Except the whole 10M copies goal literally spawned from this thread

>>381352318
>japanese game
>sells on pc
this ain't darksouls

Yeah. I'm too tired for this shit. In the context of the thread: sure hahaha, 10 million. I wouldn't say that to my investors, but I'd happily make ambitious claims to the public.

To summarise the thread
>Sell big in Japan
>only 4m ps4

>Sell small globally
>50m consoles

I'm no expert, but I sure would like to tap into that 50m console base. Hell, I might even have to change a few things in the game to attract a wider audience.

They mean 10 million on the enhanced Switch port that will be announced a month or so after release.

>>381341529

Nice sourcing

>>381356686

I'm not seeing it from any other news site or tag related to the game, but let's be honest all OP has to do is make this thread like 30+ times over the course of the next several months and it'll become "true" because truth on /v/ is defined by how memetic something is, not whether anybody with any actual say or authority actually said it.

>>381357651
The Switch wouldn't even be able to run vanilla DMC4, it's that shit.

>>381354581

Japan really is such a pocket market. China and Korea are kind of becoming that way too. Some browser game I've literally never heard of before called Honor of Kings became the #1 mobile game based on gross and popularity (apparently more players in China alone than Pokemon Go has globally) literally just off of the Chinese market alone. It's insane how some things can just dominate the popular culture of some of these Asian countries and then just be like nothing either in comparison or globally literally everywhere else.

>>381358273
Anon, DMC4 is MT Frameworks and it runs on the fucking PS3 of all things.

>>381351801
If bloodborne only sold 2mill on the console with the largest install base why do you think MH would do any better? Does anyone know how much DS3 sold across the 3 platforms at release?

>>381358582
And the Switch is blatantly less powerful than the PS3. It's even less powerful than the Wii.

>>381357376

They could always just pull a Pokemon Sun and Moon and ship 10M copies globally and claim mission accomplished. FFXV did something similar with it's whole 5 million copies shipped day one thing. It's all PR BS IMO but again I'm pretty sure the 10M thing originated in this thread even if it really does seem like something a Japanese video game Publisher CEO would say.

>>381357376
>I'm no expert, but I sure would like to tap into that 50m console base.

Well they can't

>>381358815
>And the Switch is blatantly less powerful than the PS3
Not only is this statement wrong but the PS3 was an utter nightmare to develop games for. Basically if it can run on a PS3 then it could run demonstrably better on the Switch.

I like how if it's on a nintendo console it's all nintendo. But if it's on any other console, it's the devs sticking it to that greedy selfish M$ and $ony. Nintentards are literally the saddest, most brainwashed fanbase I've ever had the displeasure of laying my eyes on.
