It's a toss up.

On one hand, Capcom only supports the clear winner, and right now that's definitely the PS4.

On the other, they aim for PS2 graphics to avoid actually upgrading their game, which makes 3DS the right choice.

The clear winner is definitely the 3DS. Especially in Japan. That may have changed in a few years, but somehow I doubt that for Japan. So all points to 3DS.

Except Monster Hunter stopped being a failure outside of Japan and the rest of the world has caught on to how awesome it is, meaning that Capcom will now take that into consideration. They want money, regardless of where they get it, so a PS4 MH could easily happen. 

Still, even outside Japan 3DS has the biggest install base and Capcom already has proof MH sells on 3DS - inside and outside japan.

PS4 has smaller install base and Capcom has no signs to whatever.

Think how long PS2 got big games.

An install base that isn't rising as fast as the PS4's install base.

And PS2 isn't a good comparison. That wasn't a console, it was a gaming phenomenon (whereas the Wii was less a gaming phenomenon and more of a cultural fad, as shown by the game selection).

In Japan, still by far the main market for MH, 3DS install base is growing faster. Worldwide PS4 will still need years to catch up to 3DS. In Japan it might never do that. Capcom wants money from the customers, MH can sell on 3DS, that was already put to a test. So I don't see why you picking for arbitrary data. In the post before you Capcom is cited to have sold 3.9 million units of MH4. Can it do it on PS4? Speculation. But Capcom knows it can sell this on 3DS. MH5 probably will be on 3DS, what happens later we will see.

And why do you arbitrary decide which console was a gaming phenomenon and which a fad? That's highly subjective and base for fights. I would say that clearly all consoles are fads, as they stop selling after a few years, including the PS2. Compare that with Coca Cola for instance. Clearly the PS2 was a fad.
