The only reason Capcom made Monster Hunter 4 a 3DS exclusive is the same reason they made 2 Residen Evil games like Mercemaries 3D, and is the same reason Square-Enix made a Kingdom Hearts 3DS exclusive.....3D.

Come on, be honest, do you seriously not believe a userbase difference of 30m had anything to do with it?

It didn't at the time it was announced, not even close.

I think it had something to do with a particular "hat" that Nintendo gave to Capcom.
