| darkknightkryta said: I don't think Sony "blocked" Monster Hunter Freedom 3 per say. I think this entire thing came out when Capcom said "Hey Sony, Monster Hunter 4 is going to the 3DS... can you fix Ad Hoc party for us?" and Sony said "Go fuck youselves". As far as Gamecube and Xbox support, not really. Capcom generally throws games onto consoles to see what works/doesn't. Xbox just got Onimusha 1 and Dino Crisis, that's it really cause they didn't stick. Capcom 5 was directly because of Mikami. That asshat had it out for Sony. Though those financial troubles were from him which is why Capcom showed him the door. |
Maybe. I really wouldn't be surprised if MH4 3DS was just the natural result of Nintendo and Capcom working together on MH Tri on the Wii.
Xbox got Steel Battalion, too. That one hurt. 
Anyway, it's not like they didn't support the PS2 or anything. The games they ended up putting on the PS2 ultimately dwarfed what they put out on the other two. But it was just strange to watch them flounder around on two struggling consoles like they did. Letting a famous Sony hater like Mikami try to migrate the entire Resident Evil series to the Gamecube was beyond idiotic. I always got the sense that maybe they didn't want Sony to have too strong a hand and so tried to help out Nintendo a little bit, but maybe I'm just reading too much into it.
