>Resident Evil sold 3.5 million units, expected was 4 million
>Monster Hunter XX sold 1.7 million units, expected was 2 million
>Monster Hunter Stories had no sales numbers revealed, but also sold below expected
>Dead Rising 4 sold less than a million, expected was 2 million
what went wrong?
Expecting to sell millions
That's what they get for not putting any of their games on Switch.
I would be very surprised if that Street Fighter game doesn't outsell Dead Rising 4.
Incremental releases of games and making games for the west rather than just focusing on making a good game.
They need to start making all these MH versions into fucking DLC instead of an entirely new game.
That and they need to tell Microsoft to fuck off and reclaim Dead Rising for themselves.
Because all those are boring
Everything.
>RE7 sold 3.5 million.
Actually way better than I would expect since there was pretty much zero pre-launch hype, most hated it and many still do.
I dont care about resident evil and dead rising whatever but it's clear monhun is very important for them. If they don't get that shit on the switch pronto, they'll be shooting themselves in the foot
>Dead Rising 4 sold less than a million, expected was 2 million
Why make it so shit if they want 2 mllion sales.
I'm sure this thread will gain some traction unlike the last 2 today, right?
Shocked that Dead Rising even sold a million
Simply put - Monster Hunter 5 needs to be on PS4. The install base is there. The Western support is there. They have to be fucking idiots if they don't do this.
>expecting to sell 2m copies of a game that cost them practically nothing to develop
Sure love the g-versions of mh games
>what went wrong?
for once, Capcom still have not fucking idea how to set goals.
remember when RE 6 sold like 5M and capcom still called it a flop??
They should go back to the PS2 era and make b tier games again
It was made by a subsidiary of Capcom located in Canada. It basically wasn't made by the real Capcom and made by and for the western market.
We all saw how that turned out lel lets take a zombie selfie!
>Dead Rising 4
I knew it was going to be crap, but it still hurts, user.
the western support is most definitely not there. monhun hasn't been on playstation in a long time. I'm sure they'll make some sales but it will certainly sell more on the switch than the ps4
Might be because the quality of the games are decreasing, or because the new games don't have much to offer compared to previous versions. Dead Rising 4 has far less effort put into it than the first two games (1 has a better atmosphere and likeable cast, 2 has much better gameplay and is a better multiplayer game than 4) and there's no real reason to buy XX if you already bought X.
This is Capcom we're talking about. It won't happen because of production cost and it's a gamble to bring it to the west. Easier to pick up sales from 3DS with little to no work involved.
>Monster Hunter XX sold 1.7 million units, expected was 2 million
So nips finally realized they were paying full price to play the same game over and over?
>what went wrong?
The games duh
I still can't believe they didn't at least announce MHXX on Switch yet.
this
Most of the games are ugh and sales are too high.
Dead Rising was even more unremarkable than 3 somehow, SFV is slightly better than release but still ugh, and RE7 was good. Hoping they don't fuck up MvC:I, but they probably will.
Why would they when the PS4 actually has an install base?
They're probably hesitant seeing as 3U on WiiU didn't do well. They probably expect the same with Switch.
cause Switch is getting MH V on E3
>Make games exclusive
>Expecting to meet sales goals
Capcom logic. That's what's wrong.
go cry over Tri
no
Doubtful but if it happens I would purchase a switch. Otherwise it's a piece of shit that I would never consider purchasing.
>Make games exclusive
But the only exclusives there are the MonHun games
Not him, but he does have a point. If they announced a Monster Hunter for PS4 even dudebros would fall for it and it would probably be successful.
>new MonHun being announced at some gaijin event
>>Monster Hunter XX sold 1.7 million units, expected was 2 million
That's 1.7 million units too many. MHX was shit, I don't understand why anyone would want to buy the enhanced version again.
>Games need to sell millions and millions just to be profitable
No, this is the problem. Nothing wrong with exclusives as long as they're not moneyhatted, publishers simply need to scale back budgets and have more reasonable expectations. Games didn't used to need to meet these lofty multi-million numbers, even selling a million copies was noteworthy.
They went wrong when they didn't make Dragons Dogma 2, or localize DDO OR make Lost Planet 4.
No.
95% of PS4 owners only care about FIFA and GTA and Assassins Creed. Monster Hunter would absolutely flop.
Hasn't Capcom always had unrealistic sales goals? I remember RE6 not reaching their sales goal, even though it was still the best-selling in the series.
>almost 1 million retards bought DR4
Faggots, every single one of them.
what is this meme? I guarantee if you ask your ps4 gaming friends what monhun is they wouldn't know. It is not a mainstream franchise. even if they knew what it was they'd probably be hesitant to buy because they've probably never played one
>we want the gaijin audience movie in the works
damn right they are
>even dudebros
TRI
I don't get how you can think it's doubtful they'll do that, unless you're only talking about the timing for it. Switch is selling well and it's able to be used as a handheld, which is a huge plus for Japan.
Like, MH5's definitely not going to be put on 3DS or Vita.
What makes you think that?
Go have a look at the top-selling PS4 games, I don't think there's a single Japanese game in the top 10, perhaps even the top 20. It will not sell better than it does on 3DS in the west and certainly not in Japan, and the Switch will likely have sold more units in Japan than the PS4 by the end of the year or sometime next year. It's going to Switch, not PS4.
I don't even like monster hunter and I think it would sell like crazy if it were on console again
It's actually their most sold game, with RE5 after it. Goes to show people don't want survival horror
They still buy pokemon
you'd be wrong
Monster Hunter is more of a TGS announcement. But maybe Nintendo need as much ammo as they can for E3.
DR4 was made by numale leafs
and thats why Switch is a console too user
we've all seen the snippet. doesn't mean it's coming to ps4. could just be confirming switch support
They have no plans to.
This. I knew they'd do it but I was hoping against hope they wouldn't make a fucking X version of Gen. I'm not even going to bother.
Article talking about market share. Not the definition of console.
monhun 5 on switch confirmed?
>Resident Evil sold 3.5 million units, expected was 4 million
source? everywhere i read said it sold more than they expected
>ruin RE with RE7
>ruin MH with MHXX
>ruin DR with DR4
>"huh, i no undastandu wry yuu no laiku dis gaymes, preas buy and be excito, PREAS"
Where did you read that from the picture?
i like it
Bullshit, pretending they weren't bought out to make 3DS games. Why are Jap companies even more deceitful than Western ones?
>We choose platforms based on design philosophy and gameplay
So he's saying they choose the most underpowered hardware so they don't have to do any work on improving the game?
...
>ruin RE with RE7
>thinking re7 was bad in any way
Maybe they're releasing something for PC
PS4 will never provide the local Co-op lvl handhelds do
I can't take anymore MonHun on handhelds. I just can't do it, the 3DS is too shitty.
>Capcom has unrealistic sales expectations
Nothing changed, what's your point OP?
they're obviously going to release a monhun game for the switch. if they aren't porting, it means switch gets a new game.
I would buy a PS4 for MoHun 5.
It's where the series belongs anyway. This handheld shit needs to stop.
It's just bullshit PR talk. But they did say no plans for MHXX port on Switch.
You don't even know the series then. The top ten games in terms of sales in that series are almost all PSP/3DS games, the only exception being a Wii game, and that's STILL 8th place.
RIIIIIGHT SUUUUUURE
>Monster Hunter 5 needs to be on PS4. The install base is there.
Look at what sells on the PS4 before spewing retarded shit like this, the install base is definitely not there, monster hunter is not a dudebro game.
So don't reply to my post. The interview snippet makes no indication of that.
if MHXX didnt sell bombasting on 3DS it wont on Switch, so rather than spent money on a port. just work on a new fresh entry that will sell millions and sell the switch too
People bought the other shitty fourth gen games too, you can't expect them not to buy another one.
Fucking this.
They've been using the same fucking engine since Monster Hunter 1.
And no the chinese bootleg mmo doesn't count.
Same here bro. I bought X and it's the first MH where I just couldn't do it anymore. MH4 was a stretch but I enjoyed it. I've been playing since the very start too.
I just want MH back on console, any fucking console. Would have preferred switch to be a pure home console 1080 but fuck it 720 will do.
kek relax. Just stating a fact
MH was ruined by MH2 though.
Doesn't really matter. My post was only for the confirmation that there's no plans for MHXX port for Switch.
MH5 will be on Switch.
PS4 isn't portable, so it's not going to happen.
I wouldn't put it past them that this is the same kind of BS like how Bethesda denied Skyrim HD would be coming to Switch, because they didn't want it to eat into sales on the consoles it was gonna come to sooner.
The only real hope is they aren't that jewish and they actually just make a new monster hunter instead, but jesus do they like rehashing with that series.
They didn't though. They changed it with Tri.
I thought I was the one stating the fact? I even posted a source
Honestly, they would have tried to make a monster hunter for the DS if it had a single analog stick. They always go with whatever is the cheapest to develop on.
>DMC one of the reps in the logo
>no new DMC title since DMC4
wow
matter not, is not XX like the 3-4rd spin on the same game?? like how SF IV had like 3-4 version??
>There are people out there seriously thinking you can sell MH to the people playing all of this shit
Cheapest option for them at the time was the PSP.
we are both stating facts
If Monster Hunter were actually about hunting goddamn monsters instead of a single-player MMO, it might be worth buying.
All first person survival horror games are bad by design.
MHV co developed with the help of Monolith soft when??
It matters a lot to the post that I replied to.
>People are still buying yearly FIFA releases
really boggles the mind
