Well they could develop for Vita and port it over to PS4 later. Seemed to work fine for Portable 3rd.

Besides the potential for a 3rd party game to sell on a Nintendo console is much lower than it is for a Sony one. A Monster Hunter game on Vita would increase sales on that platform and allow Capcom to make OTHER games besides Monster Hunter for it and make a profit from them as well.

Besides a Sony exec said Monster Hunter was supposed to come out this year. Who knows what happened there.

Oh yes, Portable 3rd HD. How did that work out for Capcom? Do you think they even made profit on it? Didn't even localize it, did they?

As for the Sony exec, we had better hope he was simply misinformed. Because if there was a Monster Hunter planned for Vita this year, and it was canned... that's an even worse sign than one not being in the works.

As for the bolded, Tri is the best-selling console MH game yet, both in Japan and globally.

Japan is a really different story. Monster Hunter sells well, but only on handhelds. Monster Hunter 3G on 3DS is nearly approaching 2 million units in Japan alone. Dragon Quest was a love story with DS, those games sold shitloads. The potential for a 3rd party game to sell on a Nintendo console IN JAPAN is much higher than for a Sony one.
