Yet MH biggest sales was on the PSP...

MH sales would have been even bigger if the games could run on the DS. Capcom wanted DS, but only PSP could run it. 

When the oppurtunity came to ditch Sony portables, Capcom did it, because Sony needed MH more than MH needed Sony. 

Well its like you said that making their IPs exclusive keep hurting them. They should have released them on both the 3DS and Vita.
