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.

If Capcom did not want Sony to have a too strong hand(though i'm 100% sure that capcom were the last to show such altruistic signs in favour of competetion) they would have done the same to Nintendo= releasing MH on vita instead of 3ds.

There's also no reason for Capcom to not have made the game multiplatform. Hell if the Vita game was made they automatically have a PS3 port of the game that they could market outside of Japan. Let's face it, Monster Hunter on Wii U isn't exactly a good idea (Though I haven't looked at Monster Hunter 3's sales so I can be terribly wrong.)

Imo it's moneyhatting.
Similar to final fantasy not being released for nintendo systems(just these chrystal chronicles spin offs=comparable to the current mh release for vita)As i've heard MS has paid many millions to de-exclusify(does this word exist?)the series.
It also makes no sense that online games like Dragon Quest are exclusively released for the ultimate anti online console(Wii/U) but not for other systems.
