Hey guys, here's a great way to make money.
Throw money into a moneypit, take a huge loss. That way we're sure to make money NEXT TIME we throw more money away!
Throwing money away is what Capcom did all last generation, swelling the budgets of their games to catastrophic levels in pursuit of massive and unrealistic sales goals. It was totally unsustainable and almost led to them to ruin.
They're now in a tricky spot with MH, arguably their most profitable franchise. The weak 3DS is on it's way out, the more powerful Vita is dead, and there's no guaranteed portable successor in sight. Switch is unproven, even Nintendo isn't willing to say it'll take the 3DS's place yet, so Capcom needs to cover their bases.
XX on Switch is their path forward in Japan, and will determine whether they can continue to rely on their huge domestic audience for the next 5+ years.
World is their path forward in the West, and gives them the opportunity to begin cultivating a more stable foothold abroad in the event that their success in a post-3DS Japan diminishes.
They're testing the waters, it's pretty obvious. No need to shitpost without even attempting to contribute in a meaningful way.
