Microsoft and a Monster Hunter Exclusive

If you're going to spend big, then spend smart.

"There used to be this story: we're not sure if it is true. It theorised that Bill Gates earned so much money so quickly that if you piled it all up underneath him and sat him on top, then pushed him off, he would never hit the ground. The pile would be so high that should he fall, in the time it would take him to descend he would earn enough money to cushion the blow. And then when he fell off that new pile he would earn enough again to cushion the next blow. And so forth forever: because Bill Gates' rich pasty arse will never, ever, come back down to Earth.

 

Of course the man's legacy, Microsoft, is his principle supplier for all things mullah and the company has seen fit to spend its vaults of gold in buying lots of 'friends' in this generation of gaming. We'll never truly know just how many deals the 'Soft has peddled in the cord-filled backrooms of studios across the globe, but well publicised buys like RARE and GTA IV's DLC (pocket money at US$50 million) would suggest that Sony brands like Devil May Cry, Final Fantasy, Metal Gear Solid and Resident Evil probably didn't make the multi-format jump for magic beans.

 

So why hasn't Microsoft bought a Monster Hunter exclusive?

 

Monster Hunter is super popular in the one territory in which Microsoft is not: Japan. And we mean super duper gazuper popular. After building a base on the PS2 and then taking strongly to the PSP the last game in the series, Monster Hunter Freedom Unite, took only six days to sell a million units. It's already the biggest selling PSP game of all time with 3.3 million sales, despite not even being released outside of Japan yet. That's more than Uncharted, Killzone 2, LittleBigPlanet and even Gran Turismo 5 Prologue worldwide on PS3.

 

To put that in contrast to the other big name Sony brands that have made the leap to Xbox 360. Resident Evil 5 has done 2.12 million on the console and Devil May Cry 4, 1.14 million. By comparison, securing a next-gen exclusive edition in the Monster Hunter series would seem like an excellent investment. It would deliver a much greater return on install base in their struggling territories than US$50 million worth of GTA content will, that's for sure.

 

And obviously there is a line of communication there with Capcom off which they can build to the idea. Dead Rising and Lost Planet staked their claims on Xbox 360, and Devil May Cry 4 and Resident Evil 5 quickly followed suit in pledging to the console.

 

How much do you think its worth to Mircosoft, to have the most sales significant Japanese game of recent times on their machine? We would have thought a lot…"

il gico per psp mi aveva un po' deluso non credo che lo rpenderò senza provare un demo o provarlo da un amico

[near]

sbavvvvvvvv :arf:

[tutto apposto]

è il gdr più palloso della storia dei videogiochi :sleep: :sleep: :sleep: :sleep: :sleep: :sleep: se esce non mi fa ne caldo ne freddo

non è neanche un normale gdr, mh è da giocare online con altra gente, offline perde tutto il suo fascino.

comunque non dice che uscirà un mh su x360, si chiedono perchè la ms non compra in esclusvia mh come ha fatto con gta e altri giochi per spingere le vendite in jap.

[smitty]

se avrà una cooperativa " degna " forse si prende....

 

altrimenti scaffale......

[mommox]

a me quello per PSP è piaciuto (e pure la demo che provai con DMC3 del primo MH su PS2)... difficile, impegnativo... e lungo...

 

noioso? si, molto il tutorial... poi è divertentissimo invece (imo)... il fatto è che ci sono duemila opzioni e cose da fare... le carni, il cucinare, i vari tipi di armi (tante armi e tanti stili), i materiali, le trappole...

 

volete mettere la soddisfazione di inseguire una viverna e poi catturarla? o.o...

 

se questo gioco esce (se mai la microsoft ci spenderà sopra dei soldi) sarà mio a tutti i costi...

 

intanto me lo godrò sulla Wii (finalmente un gioco decente per la wii direi) che sarà un esclusiva (e voglio vedere come viene usato il wiimote, dalle videorecensioni delle preview pare fatto bene)

[tutto apposto]

magari online guadagna ma offline è una vera palla è quello che penso io poi se uno dice che è un capolavoro è tanto di guadagnato per lui
