Which comes back to; do you honestly believe Sony is that stupid to loose Monster Hunter over Ad-hoc party?  Capcom reps have said pretty illogical things that can only make sense if Nintendo paid a hefty sum for handheld exclusivity.  Capcom's reasoning for no Monster Hunter 4 on Wii U contradicts Monster Hunter 3 G.  No Resident Evil: Revelations on Vita's reasoning doesn't make sense since the 3DS version should never have been made by their logic.  On top; the rumour about the deal, the rumour about the Monster Hunter 4 delay which would bring the release date closer to contract's lapse time.  Monster Hunter Frontier G being announced a little after Monster Hunter 4's release, which also coincides to the end of the contract's date.  I mean Monster Hunter Frontier G for Vita could have been announced closer to the 360 port of the game instead.  Plus the game's a port and could have been released a lot earlier.


Yes,i honestly do. I think SCEA was too stupid to know what Monster Hunter was, passed it off as a cheap PSP upscale and didnt care. And that is also why obviously MH4 already comes with online play from the get go on the japanese version.

Like I said, Sony Japan would have taken over if this seriously was the case.  And you're going to completely ignore all the mixed messages that contradict each other from Capcom when it comes to their handheld titles involving the 3DS?


Sony japan had nothing to do with the decision. Capcom USA negotiates with SCEA. This was before the widespread of Twitter and the Sony reps like Shu. The reason MH3G was on the Wii U was mainly for us westerners and to add online play beeing as the 3DS is a more difficult console to add those features in (given the technology constraints). We embrace home consoles in general while the japanese do portables.

That is also the reason why RE:REv came out for home consoles. Capcom concluded the game failed on 3DS/portables, beeing the first proper portable RE and decided to port the game for home consoles where the series sells millions. Obviously they learned they were wrong on that one and now we can look at the 3DS version as a sucess considering.

We're getting side tracked though. The facts here are that Sony blocked MHP3 HD for the PS3 in the west. This gave capcom no choice but to go with nintendo. The why's and the how's pale in front of the facts. Thats what happened and shouldnt have happened.
