I guess it wasn't, but I hope it ends soon

I know they are min-maxing, still they could make a cheap port to the Vita. They wouldn't have to put a lot of effort into it. OLED and higher res alone would make the game look better and I'm sure the textures and other stuff they prepare for the game is of higher quality than what we see on 3DS screen, just like it was in the case of DS games that look incredible on PC emulators. I'm sure the extra sales would more than make up for the port's costs.

True.  But let's not forget this is Capcom.  Intelligent decision making isn't really their usual shtick.  I mean, MH as a franchise makes more sense on home consoles for the west but that hasn't gotten through to them yet either :p

However taking away 4 million plus sales of the 3DS is a hard move. So I think they are smarter than you think, at least with Monster Hunter. Low cost games making 4 million plus Nintendo handling pubslishing versus higher cost and not proven western sales. 

Add: Also lets not forget, Nintendo most likely does have some monetary deal in place, so they most likely cover a lot of normal costs with that as well.
