GenGAME writes: Following the rumors that Monster Hunter 4′s delay was to accommodate for a Vita release, the topic was brought up over at Capcom Unity. A brief discussion ensued, after which Capcom Senior Vice President Christian Svensson himself entered the conversation, and his response essentially squashed any chance that the game will leave the 3DS.
Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate has been discounted to $16.33 on 3DS and $19.79 on Wii U. Also on sale are Monster Hunter 4 ($28.99) as well as the upcoming Monster Hunter Generations ($31.99 for Amazon Prime members).

Monster Hunter X sold 1,542,104 units within its first two days of sale in Japan, according to a Famitsu report. The number includes retail copies, download cards, and the Monster Hunter X Special Pack. (It does not, however, include sales of the download version through the eShop.)
Additionally, 3DS hardware (including 3DS LL, New 3DS, and New 3DS LL) moved a total 133,628 units, compared to the previous week’s 33,203 units.
Here’s Monster Hunter X‘s launch numbers compared to previous big 3DS titles:

Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate – 1,617,949
Monster Hunter X – 1,542,104
When Monster Hunter gets made for a non-Nintendo console I'll be more interested. I'd be much happier with a PS4/Xbone version with fully integrated online play.
The point is they need to release a Monster Hunter for PS Vita because it would be more benefit for them and Sony.
Yeah. I gave up on Capcom giving a damn about the MH fanbase since I am STILL waiting for MHF3.
So yeah, I guess Capcom built up a 3mil+ fanbase on the PSP and said "screw 'em" would settle for a PSN release of Freedom 3.
ahwell shame, cant wait for 3 ultimate and 4 for my 3DS :P
Pokemon XY and Monster Hunter 4 in the same month, overkill, headshot, stone cold stunner, boot to face, etc.
I've always been a loyal follower of Mh but given the direction capcom is going with it now I'm starting to lose faith. Money hungry pricks
