Some you guys are just laughably delusional.  So for those who are "certain" that Monster Hunter: Charity Edition Vita is coming, consider the following:

Media Create December 2012

3DS
Week 49 - 211.499
Week 50 - 319,025
Week 51 - 411,272
TOTAL: 941,796

Vita
Week 49 - 11,039
Week 50 - 14,446
Week 51 - 21,266
TOTAL: 46,751

Vita LTD = 1,110,333

When we get Week 52 numbers, even with the expected drops, it's more than reasonable to assume lol that the 3DS will have matched SURPASSED Vita's entire LTD within just this one month of December alone.

Given this information, would someone please give me a logical, rational, sound argument (i.e. not rooted in delusional fanboyism) for why Capcom would put its largest handheld IP on the Vita (as opposed to the 3DS) after seeing these December numbers?  I'd really like to hear it.

Why does Namco put Tales games on every console and handheld? Would they be better served using only one? Why has Capcom shared the love with Monster Hunter on multiple consoles and handhelds (even cellphones have their own version of MonHun) including multiple spin-offs . There are far crazier ideas than to think Vita will get a MH somewhere down the line. MH is being whored out everywhere and you'd be foolish if at worst Sony would moneyhat one unless they just completely cease production on the handheld.

Edit: It doesn't even have to be exclusive. They could do what Namco is doing with God Eater 2 and making it PSP/Vita. For MH, a PS3/Vita isn't out of the question either.
