Of course it doesn't have the volume of MH, but it's one of Namco's most important IPs. They don't have many others that are much bigger. For Capcom, I would guess that MH takes a backseat only to RE.

Splitting the userbase is a good argument (if this was a rational company), but it has not stopped them before, especially if you want to consider how they treat their other major IPs along with MH. Never count out Capcom to drive their IPs into the ground.

It also has nothing to do with what I want to happen. It's becoming funny how people are holding onto this as some sacred cow now.

Except with DS?

Putting it out on 4/5 consoles + cell phone game + multiple spin offs and re-releases isn't enough because there was a single handheld left without one?

You speak as though the DS was just some random, modest selling system.

Monster Hunter may very well arrive on the Vita eventually, but as the omission of a DS version proves, nothing is a certainty.
