I feel like this belongs somewhere. It was leaked right before MHXX was revealed (the 3DS one), and has been right on the money about everything. MH:W is MH5, so going by this, Sony specifically barred Capcom from bringing this game to the Switch to gain leverage in Japan.

That doesn't really bother me. If companies can do exclusives, I don't see why they can't do reverse exclusives too. What I'm wondering now is if "MH Portable" is refering to the XX port or a separate MH portable line.

Here are the followups too, which answer your questions. 

 

The problem is that unless Nintendo publishes them, they probably won't come to the West. So nobody gets what they want. Sony doesn't get the Japanese exclusive they were hoping for, Capcom probably won't get a lot of money, and Monster Hunter fans don't get one stable Monster Hunter series that has a unified direction. 

All of this mess might be the reason Capcom is calling it MH worlds instead of MH5. Trying to not completely slam the door in Nintendos face and keep the way open to building a massive fanbase on Switch. It's a gamble.
