Where exactly does the Vita benefit Capcom at all?

- Lower userbase (much lower)

- More expensive development cost

They can sell far more Monster Hunter games on the 3DS at a cheaper dev cost. Why even bother with the Vita. Capcom isn't supporting the platform at all anyway.

The real reason honestly Sony even got a whiff of Monster Hunter was because the DS wasn't that great at running polygonal graphics. Now that the 3DS can do an adequete job of it, Capcom simply doesn't need Sony.

Japan's biggest 3rd party franchise should be with Japanese biggest selling hardware. To the victor go the spoils, that's the way its always been, where people crying this much when the GameCube didn't get Final Fantasy X or MGS2?

Or when PS3 didn't get all the 3rd party games...oh wait. MH games sell historically well on Playstation portables and they could've continued that tradition on Vita. PSP really took off in Japan because of MH. A MH on Vita would've done the same. You really think Capcom doesn't know that MH would sell well on Vita? The only reason they could be ignoring Vita exclusively is because Nintendo paid for it.

Well boo hoo, honestly, Capcom doesn't owe Sony anything, Sony should be the one thanking Capcom for dragging the PSP out the irrelevance it was headed to.

Personally I think if the DS could've ran Monster Hunter properly, Capcom wouldn't have bothered with the PSP in the first place. 

The DS/3DS are Japan's platform of choice, that's just the blunt fact of it. The biggest third party franchise (well second biggest I guess) should be on that platform.

Monster Hunter isn't really a game where you want to divide the fanbase anyway, the whole point is that everyone has the same platform so the school kids can play together on the same platform. If 1 kid has the 3DS version and the other kid has the Vita version, they can't play together.
