The issue isn't possibility, it's pattern recognition. I could be hit by a bolt of lightning out of the sunny sky while standing in a forest tomorrow: but if you know how what patterns lightning follows, you'd realize that the chances of that are negligible. Acting like something is in likely just because it's not impossible isn't reasonable at all.

Again, the online games are in a different position. With online you can always find someone to play with: splitting up the audience isn't a problem. But even then, if you look at the pattern, you should see that Capcom's never ported a Monster Hunter game to two competing platforms.

For the portable games, they were first ported from PS2 and PSP. Are these two competing? No, one's a handheld system and the other's a console. You can't be expected to carry a console around to play locally with friends. Portable 3rd HD's the same way.

What about porting Monster Hunter G from the PS2 to the Wii? Well, those weren't competing either: the Wii was one of the newer, more powerful system that people were buying for new games. The PS2 was an older system that people were still buying, but because of the large library it had built up - Sony had created the PS3 for people who wanted new games to buy. The port was a generational transition, something like Tri G, to prepare people for the release of Tri G for the Wii.

As for Monster Hunter 4 not being confirmed as exclusive... At the moment, that's wrong too. It's been announced for the 3DS and nothing else. Isn't that what an exclusive is? I can understand if it's just wishful thinking, but why would you believe that anyone would hide something like that at this time? Does Capcom want Vita to fail from the lack of Monster Hunter just for kicks?

Don't use Monster Hunter Tri's move from PS3 to Wii as an excuse, either. First off, Capcom hadn't released a PS3 Monster Hunter game beforehand and changed their minds afterward - they had made their decision early on and then used the G port as the generation transition. Secondly, they've come out with their decision as being based off of the lower production costs on a SD console and the fact that there were far more Wiis sold than PS3s. The 3DS already has both of those advantages over the Vita.

I've given more than enough evidence to show that a Monster Hunter game for Vita is pretty ridiculous. Nothing I can tell you will be able to convince you if you refuse to accept it.
