Where's your source that Nintendo kept MH off the Vita?
And Sony killed the Vita in Japan and everywhere else in the world.
Switch is selling just fine in Japan without MH.

If I remember correctly, the general consensus agrees that Nintendo had an exclusivity deal with Capcom on Monster Hunter, which makes sense because the series skipped the Vita and PS3 in favor of 3DS and Wii. Why else wouldn't they be on Sony's platforms for several years when third party games generally perform much better on them? I don't remember if this was confirmed or just a logical speculation.
Yes.. Sony did play a big part in killing the Vita, which does actually correlate to them failing to secure exclusives and bringing Monster Hunter to their platforms. So your statement and mine aren't contradictory. MH could have had a ripple effect, increasing Vita's support and thus sales to a potential 40m+ worldwide. So if we assume Nintendo paid, then they are also indirectly responsible for killing the Vita. Sympathy has no place in business... if Nintendo senses a potential threat, they'll do all the can to eliminate it. Monster Hunter did wonders to PSP..
I can say with absolute confidence that mainline Monster Hunter will be out for Switch in no time. It's just silly to jump into conclusions so soon. As everybody knows, MHW has been in development for over 4 years now, that's long before Switch's announcement. If Capcom wants to get it running on the Switch in an acceptable form, they will have to take their time and optimize it for the weaker platform. By announcing the Switch version too early, they'd be risking the sales of the PS4 version. None of that necessitates Sony's involvement. I won't deny the possibility that they might be involved, but there is so little evidence to back such claims at this point. We should be glad that Capcom upped their production values due to PS4's success instead of whining about it 24/7. All PS4 did is speed up the transition of the series.

This is the same "baseless lie" that accurately leaked both mh world and both versions of XX late last year

And that makes it accurate when the leaker is a Nintendo fanboy who claimed it's not a mainline iteration? Who didn't mention development time? Who said it's an excessively westernized/casualized spin off? Who also said Monster Hunter 5 is in development for Switch? Do you believe all of that nonsense? If you do... then why on earth are you upset? Have your smile back! MH5 is coming to the Switch :D much better than the trash PS4/PC/X1 owners are getting!

Yeah, so no doubt Bayonetta 3 is Nintendo exclusive like Nier Automata or Nioh are Sony console exclusive
