Well they fucked over Playstation fans with the Switch from psp to 3DS so they're pretty good at it,  it seems. 

When did they announce MH5? And exclusive to switch aswell? 

The jump to the 3ds was necessary because by that point monster hunter had cemented itself as a portable series and the Vita wasn't doing well. Monster hunter did great on the 3ds and it was the first time the series was ever truly relevant in the west then the pissed it all away 

Vita wasn't doing well because the Vita had not launched yet. I think the first 3DS Monster Hunter came out literally the same week as the Vita in Japan. Nintendo clearly did that on purpose to fuck over the Vita.

 

At the NGP launch Monster Hunter was shown on the Vita but nothing came of it. Monster Hunter 3 was originally supposed to be a PS3 game. The best selling Monster Hunter is still a PSP game.
