The article only mentions the Vita being easier to develop for, that doesn't necessarily mean it's cheaper.

I didn't say it was cheaper than ios, just "better." I mentioned that because it goes against what most people think.

You said it was cheaper than the 3DS for development. Where's that quote.

Even though you didn't say it, it was what almost everyone reading your post thought.

"The Vita is much cheaper to develop for then the 3DS. Heck I'll find you a quote saying it's better than iOS if you care. Your reasoning comes from the fact Vita games usually are way more "AAA" which doesn't really factor in with ports."

To Rafael who said "Wouldn't be surprised to see it selling more and even higher then the 3DS version." I already know for a fact that if they launched at the same time, the Vita version would NOT sell more than the 3DS version.  There's absolutely no indication that says the Vita version would do better.

On topic:

I feel a bit uncomfortable at thinking of MH4 coming to the Vita simply because of how annoying it will be if it does.  People will be all like "3DS ver. sucks Vita is best, Vita > 3DS" then the inevitable defense from 3DS owners who actually like the 3DS, and it will be an ongoing argument for several months.  I really don't want to see it.

Wouldn't it be easier if MH4G launched on the Vita lets say 1-1.5 years after the MH4 on the 3DS? Then Vita fans can have their better version and 3DS fans will have already played it and moved on.

If it were something like "MH4G" about a year or so later, then that whole argument that may occur would definitely be reduced.  I'm more thinking about if they do a "multiplatform release" like releasing them at or near the same time.

I'm not surprised because he said this weeks ago. I dug up the link I was talking about. See this thread.

It will get on vita eventually just not yet. Chances are we will hear something at tgs but until then its a 3ds 'exclusive'.

@ MDMAlliance

At the end of the day this game was built with the 3ds hardware in mind. A port for vita with extras doesn't make it better. Nintendo will always have the best hd version of monster hunter anyway because monster hunter 3 ultimate is on wii u and I know vita is not as capable as wii u from a technical standpoint.

Yep let's play.
