It would still help boost sales though, especially if there is other RPGs out or were coming out.

Even if they sell more then 500k additional sales it will lose even more in Japan.

Based on previous sales of Monster Hunter Tri and Dragon's Dogma, i dont think that Capcom would expect huge sales in the west. Especially not to cover ~2-3 million potential lost sales in Japan.
I have to imagine Konami are very pleased if those numbers hold weight.
Tag Force Special launched on January 22nd, so that includes what would be the first week of sales. The game's debut is higher than the last known LTD of the 3DS game - the most recent Yu-Gi-Oh! title in Japan. Tag Force Special's first week is also the best since Yu-Gi-Oh! The Sacred Cards on GBA in 2002. TFSP launched at a budget price of 3000yen, but the product itself was clearly developed on a shoestring budget.

There aren't enough interesting, upcoming JRPGs?
Which better deal are you talking about? Capcom sold million of MH copies on 3DS and they probably wanna bet again on the next Nintendo portable.
Sony couldn't even offer a better deal when MH was at home on PSP and the game just became the best selling 3rd party ever in Japan. Capcom is already investing with RE, Dragons Dogma, SFV, Deep Down etc. on the system - I don't see them putting all eggs in one basket especially if they will sell less copies.
I was talking about the niche JRPGs that were common in the PS1/PS2 era, games like Wild Arms, Dark Cloud, Breath of Fire, Chrono Cross...etc
The "big" JRPGs are coming to PS4 as expected (FFXV, DQXI, P5, KHIII), but I want more than the big mainstream JRPGs.
They're all coming to the Vita, aren't they?

PS4, how you doing ?
PS3 vs. PS4
PS3 had price drop on week 53 iirc, actually the gap came back to week 45 level (-260k)
PS4 vs. Wii U
Wii U entered holiday 2013 (and week 55 will have 119k), best gap between platforms was week 47 (-106k), now it's similar to week 44 (-179k); but after 4 weeks Wii U sales will drop down to 10k weekly to it will be interesting to see how things will do

week 49 - 1,229,641 / 1,002,662 -226,979

week 53 - 1,072,636 / 1,247,112 -174,476As classics, not new entries.
And even if new entries were announced, I want to play them on PS4 since I don't have a Vita.
Fair enough, I guess. I think there might be a fair amount of them that aren't part of the huge titles, what with Bravely Second, Tokyo Xanadu, Ray Gigant, Omega Quintet, etc. But it's happening more on handhelds than on the PS4.
29./00. [3DS] Sumikko Gurashi: Koko ga Ochitsukundesu <ETC>(Nippon Columbia) {2014.11.20} (¥5.184) -2.131 / 99.932 <80-100%>
So, Sumikko is almost at 130k with digital sales, waiting for the numbers of this week. It was a sleeper hit. The next Youkai.
Maybe my memory is playing tricks on me, but there were far far more quality JRPGs in the late 90s than right now, even if you include handheld & mobile.
And Omega Quintet looks garbage.

I'm guessing that X1 jump is from preorders for the white MCC bundle?
Yeah, I agree. It doesn't mean they won't try though.
They're expecting over a million for MH4U on 3DS. They would be expecting massive growth on the PS4.
The PS4 is in a better position than the last few Playstations were and Sony is being more aggressive. As to the bolded, why wouldn't they? Especially when Sony is clearly willing to foot the bill a lot of the time.
It is unthinkable that MH would go back to consoles. The amount of sales they would lose is not something one could simply pay as a compensation. Besides, they would leave it open for other game from the same genre to take over the portable audience.
Besides, moneyhatting a big title only makes sense at the beginning of a new generation, where you can use the strength of such title to build a reasonable audience and attract other developers. Otherwise, companies would only exchange a lot of money for potential hardware sales, something that could be achieved by making dramatic price cuts or developing other big games instead.
It would make sense for Sony to moneyhat MH only for a potential new handheld, but we know they are not interested in the handheld market anymore.

the storm is coming....
You're misreading that data. The chart I posted is for the January 2015 tracking period between December 22nd and January 25th. For Sumikko, it says the game sold 38k, with 933 copies through the eShop. The rest were sold physically.
The number you posted is from February 15th. It already accounts for the 37.666 physical copies in January chart.
I don't think Sony is in a position to moneyhat MH if Capcom wasn't willing to put it on these systems to begin with... But their support might help for a quick western release and cross marketing.
But even with saying all this... I don't see Nintendo and Iwata just watching how one of their most important 3rd party being taken away.
Then again... If DQ 11 is indeed PS4 it might not surprise me of everyone else just joins the party and disregarding handheld releases for now.
the storm is coming....
Except that it's a download code just like the american release.
All joking aside, I mean it as in there are certain franchises that are not going to Nintendo systems as long as Sony is still in business.
A lot of these franchises can't afford to jump to PS4 and unless PS4 takes off it's not worth it. PS3 is dying.
Right now they're riding on Vita to survive. If Sony does not bring out a handheld successor they pretty much have to start releasing on Nintendo platforms or keep releasing on Vita.
And if developers keep releasing on Vita, and no successor handheld comes out, what's to keep the system from hanging around for another 10-20 years as the Nintendo alternative system in Japan? It's powerful enough to last 10-20 years tech-wise considering Japan's low tech effort in their games.
I'm not saying it'll keep the success it currently has, but that I could see it remaining a niche still selling system in Japan for another 10+ years at this rate as long as Sony never replaces it. Or maybe PS5 in 2019 will be a handheld/console hybrid to combat Nintendo's handheld/console hybrid in 2016/2017 and that'll be when Vita is replaced.
wat
I think DQXI will be mobile/3DS cross-platform. Since it'd be cross-platform already, may see a PS4 port, too, but mobile platforms would seem the likely primary target group.
Edit:
Went back and found Aeana's comments on it, so looks like mobile is definitely out. Can't see it being PS4-only, though. What would its system sales look like in 18 months? Would it support DQ sales with that size of a userbase?
When DQVII released on PS1, PS1 was ~17m.
When DQVIII released on PS2, PS2 was ~15m.
When DQIX released on 3DS, 3DS was ~27m.
When DQX released (first) on Wii, Wii was ~12.5m, and DQX was a very different planned business model.
Would PS4 be even at 4m in 18 months in Japan, much less the > 10m the previous games released at?
MH won't release on PS4, even a Vita release is unlikely, it's just wishful thinking.
DQ makes sense because Horii wants his last Hurrah to be on the PS4 in high definition, & from what I understand, he has creative control over the franchise, the same cannot be said about MH, not unless Sony moneyhats it.
EDIT:
DQXI was pretty much confirmed to be on the "big screen", likely PS4 (& maybe PS3).

Look Sony is funding Capcom for exclusive SF rights. If Sony can throw money Capcom's way to get MH on Vita and PS4 in addition to the Nintendo platforms, I would be all for that. Same if they contacted Level 5 about getting YW multiplatform.

Good chance DQ 11 will be multiplatform imo.
SE said in their recent financials they want to focus more on multiplatform development and been bragging how their engine (luminous) is very flexible and can scale to many platforms (pc, consoles, mobile etc). Recently also said they plan to bring mobile titles to Vita/PS4.
Current SE strikes me as a company that want their games to reach to as many people as possible, I can see them making mainline DQ go multiplatform.
Monster Hunter on consoles is bigger than all the other Hunting Action games. I don't think the Vita release have benefitted from MH's absence and no one is trying on 3DS so they don't have much to worry about.
It's more than just DQ11 though. Pretty much all publishers are making an effort to get their content on PS4 for the western market. You just have to look at how many games have gone from Vita to Vita/PS4 for their sequels.
Vita isn't in a very healthy place now, nevermind in 10 years time. Stronger platforms don't last that long.
Well Horii said it's not mobile and strongly implied a console release. That's just the facts, everything else is speculation and I'll leave that conversation there.
I don't see the logic in Capcom bringing MH back to Sony now.
The Vita isn't going to last another 10+ years and those devs will probably just move to Nintendo or mobile if they want money in Japan.

If real deal Monster Hunter is ever coming back to PlayStation, I'd bet on it being a port and not something approaching an original game. With the mainline entries now being portable, the Portable in MHP is now superfluous. A MHP4 would have to offer something different, and I can't see that happening.

Pretty close, I guess.
I wonder if Vita sales will surpass the PS3 soon.
The free money comes from the fact that they were: an up-port with little to no new assets/changes/resolution updates on their textures, and a full-priced expansion with a lot of recycled content.
Making a 4U/4G for the PS4 won't fly unless they redo a lot of it, and they'd just be better off throwing that sort of "easy port" to the WiiU again if they were to bother.
Monster Hunter isn't really a game for consoles anymore, its been a long, long time now. The suggestion here would be for Capcom to not only abandon the world's current leading platform, but to abandon a major demographic of players that do NOT have or want a console. To make a 4DS/PS4/Vita whatever MH5 would be a huge clusterfuck of resources that guarantees little to nothing for the latter two platforms outside of a possible middling success.
And this is entirely presupposing that Nintendo literally does nothing while Sony greases the gears... which they obviously wouldn't.
