I guess people are confusing the word rumor for confirmation.

Capcom, ladies and gentleman. Working both Nintendo and Sony since 1994.
Because this rumor corroborates with the pre-TGS rumor which is batting a thousand so far. And it also makes sense since Capcom makes 99% of their games on more than one platform.

Hold on, let me get this straight. Capcom is planning to release another entry in their most successful series, and on the successor to that series's historic home platform?
I dunno, you guys.

GAF. Never change.
I'm talking about two variations with different purposes. I'm not distinguishing by platform/'camp'. I think Capcom will want to continue to pursue that strategy because I think it probably nets them more overall. I don't think the audience for the different tracks in the past can be unified under one track without a loss in sales, I do think there was a certain common intersection between the audiences for both tracks.
That's just one suggestion though.
I'm not saying it would be equivalent. I've conceded that bringing both lines onto portable as their 'home' would carry risks re. differentiation - just that I could still see them doing that regardless.

Didn't David Reeves hint at it too?
The Pre-TGS rumor that predicted there would be a MHP3rd HD port to the Vita announced at TGS? Haha why would people even be exited about that and talk about it like it's going to turn the Vita's fate around?
It's this rumour coming from the same person anyway? And still, it should be considered a rumour, not a fact. That old rumor wasn't right on everything (where's Bayo 2?)
Edit: So it's not even a rumor? Just a prediction from an analyst? That's even worse...
Because it´s going to happen.

Capcom has probably teams like ACTIVISION where they have full teams (plural) dedicated to MH franchise.
Sorry DP.

Yes, Reeves hinted both 3DS and Vita would be getting MH. Then again, he also hinted that the Vita game would be there at launch, which jives with the pre-TGS rumor (3rd HD for launch).
Since that didn't happen, everyone assumed Nintendo locked down the series (MH4 announcement reinforced that thinking) and/or Sony just bungled it.

I think that's entirely reasonable, but if that's going to happen for Vita I think you're more likely to get something like Portable Frontier than Portable 3rd G or Portable 4th. Again, the problem comes back to the mainline cannibalizing Portable's previous purpose.
Sure, it just doesn't make business sense. Not that it's stopped Capcom before.

Leave out the Japanese part, and GAFs anti-analyst instincts would definitely have been shutting this down left, right and center.

The question is, who are in denial really:
those who think a franchise historically not-multiplat is not going to get multiplat on one the most uncertain consoles which is selling less that its predecessor and just a fraction of the rival; and also after not one, but two games being announced for the rival.
or those who despite of these, think it is going to get released on Vita just because it was on PSP and that Capcom loves to port everything (but MH)?
Whether this rumor is true or not, I think this is going to end up like Capcom/Gamecube/Resident Evil.
MH4 will be exclusive for 3DS for a while, and eventually will be ported to Vita because Capcom likes money.
The only difference here, is, Gamecube was doing nowhere near the business the PS2 was when they dropped the RE4 bomb. I'm not exactly expecting a Ps2 out of Vita >_>

The gaming world will become a very interesting place if this turns out to be false.

Monster Hunters alone isn't going to save Vita. How relevant will Vita be if everybody waits until late 2012 to buy it?

Yes, it's from PREDICTIONS but, like RE:Revelations topics "Lulz, it's Capcom, it'll probably true!1!"
Even if it did happen, why bother? The damage as already been dealt.
If Sony holds another PlayStation Meeting they'll be announcing PlayStation 4. They only hold those for new hardware announcements.

I don't like these games, but it's pretty obvious what the appeal is. It's working with your friends to achieve a common goal. It's teamwork plain and simple.
Not true, I don't think. They used to hold them annually?
A PS Suite media launch could make sense for late Feb or early Jan

IIRC, they stopped doing them annually when Krazy Ken retired.

There are 2 givens here:
1. Capcom loves to port its games to a wide spectrum of systems and make very few console exclusive games nowadays, because...
2. Capcom loves money and since they won't need to put too much effort into porting this to the Vita (and / or the PSP / whatever else may tickle their fancy) it's a good bet that they can find a way to make money in this scenario.
To assume anything else given what we know is to be in denial.
Where was this stated?
Yeah, the last one prior to the NGP/Suite announcement was when the PS3 was announced.

Not true. He talked about a Capcom game for launch and that game is UMvsC.

I'm thinking that at one point, MH3rdp HD was in development for the Vita, but Capcom scrapped it in favor of a MH3rdp G instead. It would make more sense than 3rd-> 3rd HD (Which wouldnt be different too much from 3rd from PSN on a Vita) -> 3rd G.

Then Charelquin is in denial because he's explained repeatedly already that splitting the ad hoc userbase for MH portables would likely result in less sales of both. If Capcom loves money it makes more sense to stick to one platform this generation.

I can only find this, but it doesn't seem conclusive to me.

Apparently Capcom said "never say never" when asked about Monster Hunter Tri on Playstation 3 (and guess what... we.. I mean the Japanese.. got MH3rd HD!!) .

I predict this thread will be locked fairly soon.
way to ruin the only positive Vita thread on this board

It has been discussed to death why porting MH on two handhelds will most probably heart both its sale and appeal with a hard to recover damage
edit: beaten.
what has these two got to do with each other?
