Dat salt.
Do I really need to bring up your posts on the 3DS version of Smash Bros.?

I was making a comment on the
quality of Smash 3DS versus the Wii U version. Personally, I found the hype for it a bit absurd since Smash is a console game to me. (And ipso facto, the 3DS version is basically completely forgotten now that the Wii U version is out.

)
In a
sales-age thread, saying MH has better potential on a console (as the linked poster did) has been proven false basically since the franchise was first created. And yes, that includes the west. All the console games (1, Tri, 3U Wii U) have sold jack shit compared to the handheld ones (F, F2, FU, 3U 3DS,
especially 4U.)
Going back to the conversation of
quality, I would very much prefer MH on a console. 3U was easily the best setup in the series with the handheld for local play, console for online and 1080p, and save-syncing between them.
But that poster was displaying some mad salt. Monster Hunter would not sell better on a console, period. Even if they did the whole AAAA thing and give it the graphics of The Order (as so many in the "modernize MH!!!!" crowd crow for) would not produce the sales that 4U has.
