They cover this same reasoning in the Glixel interview when they explain why they chose World after explaining why they didn't pick 5. It's the cenrtral theme of what's new in the game.Oh okay, a relatively simple reason as well. Interesting.

What still baffles me is how Capcom claims the series up till now failed in the west, when all of their changes/approaches with World show that they never really gave a shit about properly promoting it in the west. Why did they never once attempt a worldwide release or servers before? Why did they largely leave it to Nintendo to publish/promote the game, especially in Europe? This company is a fucking mess
They're really looking for those new players.I think the numbers themselves start to become off-putting. New players might think, "Oh, I've missed four games already, I can't possibly join at this point."
I would propose that Capcom let streamers do the marketing work for RE7.I'm honestly wondering how Capcom's marketing is going to go with this game, since the other thread brought up a good point regarding how Capcom likes to let other publishers do the brunt of marketing work for them as of late. RE7 and MH4U for example

They can save the 5 title in case World bombs lol.
Didn't hurt GTA3.
But I see what he means. I think it's a good idea actually, gives consumers a better sense of the game's scale.

They must have been pretty comfortable with their arrangement with Nintendo, but knowing that 3DS wouldn't sustain them forever, a need to create growth elsewhere (Japan is saturated) and with no suitable Nintendo platform to move over to at the time, the decision to bring other console into the mix was probably quite an easy one.
They never said the franchise failed in the west. They just said there's room for it to grow and, rightfully so, don't believe that 3DS is the right platform to facilitate that growth. While we can quote MH4U's awesome overseas sales and the fact the series is portable all we like, there's a huge install base of console players who like both action and multiplayer games that COULD take to this game if it's made and marketed in the right way. It would stupid of Capcom to ignore this opportunity, regardless of how it turns out.
In a world where The Witcher 3, the Elder Scrolls IV, Fallout 3 and, hell, Final Fantasy VII were tremendous successes that turbocharged their popularity the world over, I'm not all that positive that the sentiment of new players thinking that they're "missing out" due to the number at the end of the title is all that compelling an argument.
The 3DS would've grown into Nintendo's next handheld. It's not like the PS4/XBO are going to last forever either. It's a nonsensical reason

If you check Witcher 3 logo they made everything they could to make it look like it's not III

In the OP of this thread, which was a quote from Dengeki PS.

Whether it has a 5 in the title or not is irrelevant to whether it is a mainline entry in the series. So long as it's the main development team and mechanically it evolves the gameplay and moves the franchise forwards, it's a mainline entry.
That Capcom even feel the need to give an answer to this is sad. It's clearly tentpole release for them in probably their most important franchise.
No idea to try and reason here and suggest that not completely abandoning current western fanbase by both not bringing XX over nor porting W to a handheld might not be the best move.
I hope MHW does well for the fans of the series but Capcom keeps making mind boggling decisions.
They're making a great play for the west, MH on all platforms is the ideal for all regions, but they missed a spot.
His reason was that people are afraid of numbers lol
That's the lamest lie I've ever heard.
Just be honest that you want the next numbered one to be the most significant entry.
Fucking capcpom is such garbage these days.

Monster Hunter World is the most significant entry. Look at the dev team, look at the resources being put into it. I'm not sure why so many people have trouble wrapping their heads around this (although I think I might know the reason and it rhymes with "monsole boars").

I wonder what titles will the Switch get.
Portable? X2?
Anyway, i hope this is good enough to finally push some PS4s in Japan.
So why can't world be a significant entry exactly? Because it's not 5 or because it's not on a Nintendo platform...
Literally a few posts above?Did anyone in this topic say it wasn't a significant entry?
That was clearly a fraud to hype the game, nothing in PW is anywhere near the quality of gameplay, story and production value that a main MGS, or any good game, needs.If they went through that as planned, I guarantee you that the backlash would have made whatever people complained about in MGS5 look like a tempest in a teacup.
They are probably considering that as an exit strategy.Don't believe Capcom's lies. There had been Monster Hunter games on consoles before and they were never as successful as the portable ones.
Expect the real MH5 on the Switch or something portable once this fake MH5 underperformes.
They wouldn't call it World since it wouldn't be coming West.If World does well they'll probably call MH World : Portable or X2.
If World bombs they'll call it MH5.
