It's only getting started
Past history tells us it will never end.
Jez Cordan, a perennial Microsoft insider, thinks it's not an exclusive: https://twitter.com/JezCorden/status/873318723553243140
I'll go out on a limb and stick with my older prediction that it's a PC/PS4/XB1/Switch game. Probably a Sony marketing deal though.

Saint Titanfall
Seems the most likely. The name doesn't match up with the rumour in the first place which was the important point of contention. Which makes me think the rumour is probably bunk.

Oh, so I'm guessing this would be like a remaster of that game on PS4. Wasn't sure if it was a collection or something.
at this rate I just hope them to give the ps4 a monster hunter game already and the world will be in peace again
not sure about the second part
Anything from MHXX localized name to PS4 exclusive to mobile game or the title of MH movie .

Technically, playstation fans
considering it was Nintendo exclusive for awhileDon't mind me, I am just sitting here and waiting for Capcom's next declining title for *this* thread. I'm actually just curious how large this decline will be.
Going from multiple millions to sub-500k.
I don't think even YW3 pulled off that large of a collapse.
this somehow reminds me of that shooting themselves in the foot comment
It very well could, but I don't think its actually anything but pure logistics and mathematical reasoning right now. This could be on every platform but the 3DS/Vita, and it'd get nowhere near where the 3DS entries were when the platform was software healthy. Switch is too limited, PS3 is dead, X1 is lol, WiiU is lol, and the PS4 does not move large software regularly and this audience isn't even there (regardless of whatever nonsense we discuss in here about why or why not every other hunter clone does or does not count for whatever nonsense).
There's nothing outlandish here at all. This isn't going to be a title for Japan, that will either be late-2018 or 2019.

Alright let's discuss some PS4 games. Which one do you think will surprise sales wise?
There's very little large software that can surprise in "big ways" left for the PS4 for this year, but I'd think DQXI will likely do well for the platform.
This is a lull year for the platform in the second half.
Considering the result of BoF 6 bomba, Lost Planet 3 cause the IP to be lost forever, Dragon Dogma underwhelming result, not a single mobile title success and of course SFV pathetic performance.(not even counting Dead Rising lol.)
Capcom is not new to shooting their own foot lol. If they still have any.^_^
everyone except OUYA fanboys
I think If DQXI switch is the same version as the Ps4 one, it will damage the ps4 version sales a lot
It has to be announced/revealed first, and I think it is deliberately being kept hidden until after the initial launch period. This would/could, in theory hurt long-term legs but not upfront performance which could be "surprising".
Surprise meaning sell over 100,000? Hmm. Dragon Quest, PES2018, maybe COD?
yeah, I think it's a part of the reasons that square is keeping silent about that version, people will be holding back for the switch version if they revealed it too early and it will damage other versions

Also because they want people to double dip (especially 3DS buyers).

I thought you were banned

Nirolak unbanned me just so I can get banned again in the MHW announcement thread.
Please anticipate my downfall.
"please anticipate"
I'd wager it'd be an everything but Switch game.
Like what most games announced the next few days will be.

So is MH World the game Capcom expects to sell 2.7 million?
If the game is this AAA deal its been rumored then its likely been in development for a couple of years.
If it is indeed a game intended for western audiences then when picking the platforms they picked those were such a game would be viable, not technically, but commercially, and during the past few years Nintendo platforms weren't viable ones for such a project.
Not like the Switch is one today as everything selling on it is Nintendo games but still. I wouldn't completely rule out a Switch version but I don't expect Capcom to announce it for Switch when the game is announced either.

From financial report Capcom expects a rise of western sales this FY and it was stated that MHXX isn't the big unannounced title they were talking.
Splatoon.
That's not a Capcom game
They are going all in and releasing 20+ games on PS4 this fiscal year.
No such product exists.
inb4 Capcom releasing Monster Hunter World 1-20 in a year
What Capcom expects is very different from what sells but 3DS+NSW MHXX will be somewhere between 500-1000k in Japan. Sometime they are supposed to release RE2R too.

Maybe Capcom thinks they have merged with The Pokemon Company and that Pokemon Sun & Moon Ultra will fill that giant sales gap?
Sony fanboys will celebrate getting a flashy new Monster Hunter, Nintendo fanboys will celebrate that it's not MH5. After an hour of excitement both camps will go on war again over whether or not Monster Hunter World is better or worse than a properly named MH mainline game. "It's just a spin off!" "No, it's the future of Monster Hunter!"
Gonna be fun either way.
