Monster Hunter is its own thing. It nearly always sells well, like monstrous sales especially in Japan and sells huge amounts of hardware. I suspect XB1 could have its biggest hardware sales since launch next week. The jump this week could have been people gearing up for it already.
I haven't noticed too many framerate dips in XC2 in either mode. It happens occasionally, of course, but rarely to the point that it's distracting.
I'm unhappy with the game's resolution in handheld mode, but it only dips into the super low range in a few of the more open areas. Torigoth and the wider Gormott Province seems to be the worst in this regard.
While I do think it's unacceptable for an exclusive to perform so poorly on hardware it was developed from the ground up to run on, I am also one of those people who prefers portability + some resolution dips to no resolution dips on a pure home console. Granted, it shouldn't be an either/or situation, considering it's an exclusive and should be developed with the system's undocked specs in mind.
Considering most games run beautifully on the hardware, I'm not too worried.
It sounds great until you see it's just 12%. How many of these games are Indies as opposed to the big 3rd parties? I'd say most of them and smart phone games as well getting ports.

Monster Hunter World will actually only release for PS4 in Japan, so the jump in Xbox One X sales probably has a different reason. I read somewhere that PUBG could be the reason for it.
@SLIGEACH_EIRE Also:
"Asked which platform interested them the most, 59 percent said the PC. Thirty-nine percent said the PS4, 36 percent said the Switch, 33 percent said VR headsets, and 30 percent said smartphones. Twenty-eight percent of developers said their games sold better on the Switch than other consoles, while 16 percent said they sold less well."
Too bad they didn't say how many of the 4000 people that responded to the survey or how many different companies they represented...
@Octane A company making game in two platforms or more, I think. If you look at the above image posted by SLIGEACH_EIRE, you'll notice that it's waaaay more than 100% as well.
@darkfenrir That's something I can get behind. It even says ''Choose all that apply'', so you can pick multiple options. But how can the overall percentage be more than 100 if the question was; ''Asked which platform interested them the most''? That implies there's only one answer possible.
@Inertiacreep How is it a broken Switch when others have noted the same thing, and NINTENDO SAYS IT'S NORMAL?!
@darkfenrir I understand that they happen. Mario + Rabbids had some freezes at times that happened, but the game was still so absolutely awesome, that I've 100%ed it, despite all of that. That said, I have mentioned those freezes before, and I duly hope they fix them.
I see frame-drops at times, but as long as they're small ones, you won't hear me. It's the large ones, like those, when I scroll in on an army fighting in Total War: Warhammer 2 that my frames-drop like snow during an avalanche. But in this case, I know: My Graphics card isn't strong enough to properly handle this game. I can upgrade that graphics card, and I can fix this.
With the Switch, when there's frames-dropping, when there's a problem of that likes, I know that I'm powerless. That I cannot solve the issues and that I can only pray the developers fix it. It's the power to upgrade that gives you the confidence you can have your beloved game run better by upgrading your PC which is something no console can offer you. That said, Nintendo has done well in regards to Mario Odyssey and Mario Kart 8 as examples, but at the same time there's Zelda and XC2 that are dropping the ball left and right.
I use this as the most relevant place to put news.
The forums aren't for posting news. Go start your own site or blog if you simply must post news. This thread turns into a duplication of the site's home page, and seeing the same story in the forums is annoying, it is spam.
The point to all those links is that those sites all published that story in the last 24 hours or so, that you deem isn't newsworthy.
I was being rhetorical. I knew what you were trying to convey, but if so many sites have published it, why do you think we want it posting again here (again, rhetorical - we don't, news fatigue is a thing)?
Your 'News' posts are regularly interrupting the flow of discussion for readers, with your 'Look here - breaking news' style, yet you rarely post more than a superficial accompanying comment to stimulate discussion.
As per the Community Rules, this is not up for discussion here. You're going back on my ignore list and I'll happily action any reports from other users who find your 'News' posts annoying.
You guys had me at blood and semen.
What better way to celebrate than firing something out of the pipe?
