Well there's a surprising opinion from you
But yeah, that explains it better, thanks. The last Hakuouki sold ~28k FW on Vita (new title), so I was wondering why sales were so much lower for this one. Port explains it - I thought it was a new game.
Looks like pretty average sales for Hakuouki 8th gen ports too.

The previous Hakuoki on PSV was a spin-off, btw.

Probably something like 450k on PSV and 250k on PSP (last tracking: 393k on PSV -no digital- and 206k on PSP).
I think there is a chance Monster Hunter 5 is a console(PS3/PS4) game.

Why would they do that

I doubt it. Isn't the main draw the portable aspect? I feel like consoles could get a "frontiers"-esque spin off, but not a mainline.
I can see Capcom making an online-f2p Monster Hunter on the PS4

That seems weird, mostly because the Smartphones / tablets versions is most likely the PE, which according to my local Minecraft expert (my nephew) is the worse possible place to play the game since it is the version with the most strip down features on the market.

Pretty decent numbers for The Order, no?
Only if they hate money and success.
The allure of western success.

Crazier things have happened.
Wouldn't PS4+PSV be more likely?
I know it's trendy to mock Capcom's business decisions these day but do you really expect them to throw away millions of sales in Japan to pursue the (non existent) possibility of sudden huge western success?
Why would square enix throw away millions of ps4 sales with TR?
I'm not saying i think this would happen at all, but i dont think its out of the realm of possibility (psv+ps4 anyway). Money talks.
Possibly but Capcom doesn't seem interested in Vita at all as opposed to PS4, I guess Sony could do the Vita version like Revelations 2 though.
Yes especially if they get the right offer from the platform holder.
Console only MH5 is not happening. The game will likely be a 2016 release so I don't expect it to release only on 3DS or only on the next Nintendo handheld.
At this point I think Capcom might try to wow the audience with better graphics after 8 games with similar graphical level, so maybe they will drop the 3DS and release it on the next Nintendo handheld + a console.
PS3/PS4/PSV multiplatform release would cover all the bases and Capcom is loving the money Sony is throwing at them, but I doubt it's going to happen. That would mean Vita would get a second life and Sony doesn't want that.
N3DS and next Nintendo handheld simultaneous release is the safest bet. Now watch it be a 3DS exclusive even after the next handheld is out.

I cant see capcom ignoring the handheld market for a mainline monster hunter game.
That should be good for Yu-Gi-Oh, right?
About the western market argument: MH4U seems to be doing quite well on 3DS in the west, sales were way better in its opening week compared to the previous entry, so the franchise is growing here with the Nintendo audience. I'm not saying a PS4/3 futur is not possible but as of today it's very unlikely.
PS3/PS4/PSV might be good for now and a short term solution but i dont think Capcom wants weaken their relationship with Nintendo considering how much they worked together bringing the fanbase and the upcoming 4DS.
Dont know if Capcom can afford to not release a MH game this year, doesnt seem like there is much more they can do on
3DS. Hmm...Psycho_Mantis

I wouldn't say so. Western sales are also something that need to be seen I think.
MHO looks interesting though.

Pretty good digital ratio. One of the highest I've seen yet actually, do we have a list of traditional releases with highest digital/physical share?

I expect them to release a MH game this year, but it can't be MH5.
Maybe they will try with another rebranded Poka Poka Airu Village. It could be a hit with the Animal Crossing audience.
MH4 is the only one that started on handheld and it can easily just be an odd exception, like DQIX.
MH4U HD for PS4 this year, maybe the other Sony systems.
Famitsu tracker indicates it did. Does it really matter when the numbers are that close?
I agree, there will be some kind of release that wont "disturb the peace" - might be some kind of Poka Poka Airu as well as a GotY MH4G version, maybe with even more enhancements when played on n3DS.
I dont know what kind of hardware the next portable will have, but we can assume that Capcom will be one of the publishers/devs who will get their hands on dev-kits quite early if they are committing with MH.
I dont see it happening - especially if its based on the 3DS version. Hell if its PS4 only even a WiiU HD version of 4G might make sense and they didnt bother with one. PS4 alone is less likely than PS eco system.
Vita is saturated. At this point it needs a price cut or a new genre of games neither of which is happening.
Vita hardware sales beat 3DS sales on Famitsu's ranking (which is not up in the OP yet).
Vita = 33,535
3DS = 31,200 (this number includes N3DS sales)

An onslaught of software. And these games serve different audiences.
The second biggest launch Vita will ever have (most likely) and Sony can't be bothered to do a wide release of the hardware bundle. That is sad.
You are assuming there will ever be a post-Vita world.
Do you know something about an upcoming apocalypse that we don't?

The biggest part of Monster hunter sales are from Japan you could have gain 500k in West but you win lose 3 or 4 time more sales in Japan.

If that line-up doesn't "save" PS4 (boost console market), I really don't know what will.
Now that I'm back on my PC instead of mobile:
Capcom is not investing in Wii U software, they are investing in PS4 software and they could probably get Sony to pitch in. The partnership with Nintendo is a means to an end, if Sony offers them a better deal they will take it and Sony will offer them a better deal.
Either Vita means life or world ending pretty soon?
They will expect much more than 500k additional sales in the west. Not saying they'll get them but they'll expect them and Sony will be selling them hard on PS4 being the route to massive western success.

it's kinda sad that there is still people who doesn't realize which is the superior tracker...
hint : every week it has sales data for 30 titles instead of 20
