I think money is the biggest little reason someone can give a company.  And Kaz has constantly said that gaming is back on their focus, why would they not money hat?

Mh4 will stay 3ds exclusive. But surely down the way we can imagine a mh4g hit vita.

Won't be the first time crapcom betray nintendo.

Yeah, wouldn't bet on this.

If Sony moneyhatted Capcom for a Vita version, Nintendo would just moneyhat them even harder to keep it exclusive to 3DS. Both sides know how important this game is.

I suppose if it does come to Vita, those Nintendo fans who said that Nintendo never moneyhat anything can be happy in knowing they were right.

If it came true though, good. Even though people say there's no point/money to be made in a Vita version, I think you're all underestimating Monster Hunter. Yes, it wouldn't sell anywhere close to what the 3DS version would sell. But it would shift a lot of Vitas and it would easily be the highest selling Vita game in Japan.  Wouldn't be surprised if it sold at least a million.  I'm sure there would be plenty of money to be had from it then.

It may have indeed no impact outside of Japan, but I'm not sure if you are suggesting that they shoudn't try and do targeted improvements to Vita's sales? Japan is indeed looking like a handheld market and a significant one, and why wouldnt you get a game that is very popular over there onto the device... I am sure they are probably not just thinking that one thing will help them out to get better sales, but if you arn't going to try the obvious, might as well give up.

Because they're $146 Billion in debt, are losing $5 Billion per year, there credit rating is junk, and the company has to turn around its finances within a couple years because they're heading for bankruptcy. In there current state, I expect management's philosophy on spending money on anything is "If it is not essential to the survival of the company don't spend any money" ...

When companies start money-hatting they rarely stop at paying for one game from one company, and I think it is highly unlikely that Sony would see spending hundreds of millions of dollars buying franchises for the PS-Vita as being essential to the survival of the company.

Capcom can do with the game whatever they want. It's not a Nintendo game, it's a third party game published on 3DS.

Anyway, some of you believe it will be the savior of the PSV and will sold millions. Fact is that one console will have MH4, DQVII and Pokemon. The other, only MH4. Alone won't make much difference, and it will need more games to continue the push that could get from the version.

Btw, if (IF) this is real, when could be the right time to announce?

Kotaku click bait and y'all are falling head over heels for it.

Let's say MH4 does make it over to Vita. It won't mean much UNLESS it's exclusive. If it's on 3DS too, then Vita won't gain any ground.

Hahahaha

I was not sure which of your post quote, but this one seems fine...

If MH4 for Vita will not release outside of Japan it makes even less sense to create a version for it, it means that all the sales have to come from that country, which currently has around 1 million Vitas on players hands, even if the game pushes many units (lets say 500k and that would be very good), the most optimistic attach rate for that game is 25% of the total units of the console, sooo it will sell at most 375k and not any more in any other region. 

Now if it was just a straight port (nothing improved except for the resolution) it makes financial sense since the porting will cost very little maybe around 1 - 2 millions (recompilation, tunning and adjustment to sony network, trophies and that kind of stuff), but players may feel is not worth it if there are no improvements at all, so it is possible that is not a good investment for Capcom, the solution is to get Sony to pay for the porting and we are not sure if they are willing to do it or if Nintendo already has some kind of deal to promote and publish the game outside of Japan in exchange of the exclusivity.
