MH4 will be on Wii 2 or PS3, whoever throws more "incentives" Capcom's way.  Probably Wii 2 given Iwata's personal interest in the franchise... seems like DQ and MH are the two 3rd party IPs Nintendo's really going for.

3DS will get MHP3G.  MHP4 could go to either 3DS or PSP2, but it probably depends on the sort of userbase each can grow beforehand.

Monster Hunter is a success on PSP because of the Adhoc networking, I am sure that without this it wouldn't be such a success. People like to hunt with friends. So unless 3DS has something better than Adhoc it'll be on PSP2. (of course, if PSP2 still has AD Hoc)

As for MH4 if it HAS to be on a console, then yea, either Wii 2 or PS3, depends on what they want to focus on.

Every handheld ever has had local multiplayer.  "Ad-hoc" is just referring to PSP's local wireless standard, that's something DS also has (and 3DS/PSP2 will as well).  And actually 3DS does have a better local wireless system than DS/PSP in place, it seeks out local networks automatically, even when the unit's "off".  This is how they're doing the system wide tag mode, as well as "pushed" content updates and downloads. 

I think MHP3G may be the first handheld entry to add online modes though (MHP3 was originally planned to but they scrapped it).  If they want MH to continue growing outside Japan, that's what they need to do...
