Where exactly does the Vita benefit Capcom at all?
- Lower userbase (much lower)
- More expensive development cost
They can sell far more Monster Hunter games on the 3DS at a cheaper dev cost. Why even bother with the Vita. Capcom isn't supporting the platform at all anyway.
The real reason honestly Sony even got a whiff of Monster Hunter was because the DS wasn't that great at running polygonal graphics. Now that the 3DS can do an adequete job of it, Capcom simply doesn't need Sony.
Japan's biggest 3rd party franchise should be with Japanese biggest selling hardware. To the victor go the spoils, that's the way its always been, where people crying this much when the GameCube didn't get Final Fantasy X or MGS2?

That would make sense if this wasn't Capcom we're talking about. They've released games on ps2, ps3 (right?), psp (biggest success), pc, x360 (terrible sales), Wii, and now 3ds and WiiU (terrible install base as well). They even released a spin off on psp which did quite well (did particularly well with female gamers). Had there not been a deal with Ninty, they would have released some kind of port on vita, so that they can get even more sales. It's simply put how their business works.
