If GH2 sales will be as good as preorders, Capcom will become greedy for PSV users' wallets.

Then the most simple strategy for Capcom will be to:

1) keep on selling MH main series exclusive to Ninty
2a) waiting for PSV user base to be a little bit larger (7-10M)
2b) start selling again MH Freedom exclusive to Sony

Why selling just ONE exclusive when you can sell TWO?

Surely, though, it won't be for this Xmas.

With that line of thinking, why not just put the GE series on 3DS?  Why sell just ONE exclusive when you can sell TWO?

Yes they definitely could do it, but to make the trick work and get moneyhatted twice, you need to make two different series from the same main series of the franchise and make each one exclusive: MH-(nothing-else)-VersionNumber stopped being on PlayStation since PS2, after that, Ninty received it as exclusive, while PS3 and PSP received MH Freedom and MH Portable.

So Bandai must be as cunning as Capcom, and keep on making GE-(nothing else)-VersionNumber Sony exclusive and make also a spin-off as big as a main series, called GE-Something-VersionNumber and sell its exclusive to Ninty.

I guess this can be considered quite fishy, but Capcom does it regularly, so if Bandai has comparable size and power as Capcom, they can do it. Obviously it depends also on the relationship between these 3rd parties and console makers, but, again, if Capcom is able to make it work, so should Bandai if it's powerful enough.
