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.

Obviously not, because Monster Hunter was announced before both systems were even released if I'm right. (in the early days of the 3DS's life before the Vita released; correction is courtesy of Yakuzaice)

However, everyone with a brain could definitely predict the outcome. Capcom apparently had a brain, 3DS was always a safer bet from the start. aikohualda here too, he got what I meant.
