Monster Hunetr 3 only being on the PS3 & Wii, and they really didn't want to port it to the Wii, but the PS3 sales at the time weren't that good, when they can make so much more money off the game by porting it.
Clearly the original intended console of choose for new Monster Hunter games was 1080p HD consoles, but something about playing these kinds of games in 240p 3D made them leave the HD ship for 3D, when it comes to Monster Hunter.
But if anyone has a more better theory about why no release on even the Wii U for Monster Hunter 4, then I would like to hear it.

Heres a theory, Nintendo payed for exclusivity.
In Japan handhelds are the preffered choice when It comes to gaming. DS/PSP sold over twice as much as Wii/PS3/360. Also PSP was the first strong competitor to Nintendos dominance of the handheld market and was able to get about 35-40% marketshare in Japan. Of the 4 PSP games to sell over a million units, all 4 were Monster Hunter games with 2 of them selling over 4 million. According to VGchartz, Monster Hunter accounted for 20% of PSP software sales in Japan. As a way to regain complete control of the handheld market in Japan, Nintendo payed for Capcom to release Monster Hunter 4 as a 3DS exclusive.

If Nintendo was paying for 3rd parties to be on their system, then the Wii would have gotten a lot more 3rd party support, even if it was just multiplatform games that in real life only came to the PS3 & 360.
The way EA & the game reviewers & the media talk about Nintendo, well, clearly Nintendo has never paid 3rd Parties nor anyone else any money for any support.
Sony & Microsoft have clearly paid 3rd parties for games, but clearly Nintendo never gives money to pimps who try to whore out any titles.
If Nintendo has shown us anything, it's that they just make the most interactive video game system they can and hope 3rd parties like it. Also Nintendo has shown that they never go to 3rd parties, but 3rd parties do sometimes go to them, like The Wonderful 101 & Bayonetta 2. If you decide to co-op a game with Nintendo it will be exclusive. Lego City Undercover is only on Wii U because of its capability to be 100% open world with that particular world. Nintendo let Lego know that the 3DS is capable of the same open world, but with 240p graphics, and then Lego decided to make a prequel to show off the Lego City world in 3D, like you are there in person because it's a Lego game.

There is a big difference between paying 1 exclusive vs paying for multiple exclusives, reviewers, media.
Monster Hunter was hands down the biggest series on PSP in Japan, 25% of PSP owners own the most recent Monster Hunter. By stealing that series, Nintendo has greatly hurt Sony portables in Japan.
PS3 doesnt have any 1 series in Japan that clearly sold the system. In order for Wii to steal the PS3 audience, Nintendo would have had to buy Final Fantasy, Resident Evil, Metal Gear Solid exclusivity. And in the west would have to buy Grand Theft Auto, Call of Duty exclusivity.
