MH3 for PS3 has been canceled because of the high production costs. These have not changed.
Perhaps MH4 will go to Wii again, but most likely to the 3DS or both.

so then why did they bother making resident evil, lost planet, street fighter and all the other games they made for ps3?
none of them performed as well as monster hunter on ps3 would have.
infact lemme check the stats on MH psp, i think even that outsold capcoms ps3 games....
EDIT: monster hunter unite japan WW = 4.1 million.
thats more than street fighter super street fighter IV ps3 world wide (they come to 2.91)
thats more than resident evil 5 ps3 world wide (3.84 million)
thats more than lost planet 1& 2 on both xbox and ps3 (3.6m)
so even if development costs were high, it would have more than paid off and would have been one of the few ps3 games to pass 5m units. and when they say high im sure they dont mean as high as gran turismo or MGS4 because it doesnt require that level of R&D and technology....they wouldnt even have to market it, 1 youtube video would be good enough.

lol MH3 wouldn't have sold 5 mil on the PS3. MHFU sold as much as it did because it's a handheld MH. Look at how MH3 on the Wii sold, that gives a better picture.
Also lol at one Youtube vid...with MH3 they wanted the series to be more popular over here. They advertised MH3 and it sold almost 800k in US/EU. Would've sold much less with crappy marketing.
Also is there any reason why people are saying PS3 when MH3 sold well? Assuming the game comes out this gen. In Japan the Wii still has no problem selling larger titles, and the connectivity factor isn't a big deal since the Wii can connect to the 3DS, if the 3DS got MHP4. Connectivity hasn't been important to the series anyway. So what's the reason?

look at jrpgs they sell better on the ps3. their are countless examples. i do think that mh3 would have sold better on ps3. also it would have sold better in the west on ps3. that is if it got good reviews. and with an easier online system it would have been very fun.
yes its not going to do 5 million. but it could do 3 if not more. unite didnt do bad on psp considering its one of the most pirated consoles of all time. second to the ps2.
when it comes to mh4 i want them on ps3/ps4 and the portable version on ngp because thats where i want to play them.(even though il be having a 3ds)

best look at all home console versions of monster hunter.
if i recal monster hunter tri sold the best out of all the home console monster hunters, and the prior ones were all one the PS2.
so no basis to say that it would have sold better on ps3. historical data would suggest otherwise.
don't get why people can't distinguish between teh two versions. when talking about zelda sales on consoles we ONLY bring up console sales if its a console game or handheld sales if its a handheld. comparing the two is like comparing apples and oranges.
