I'm going to be honest here and I'm ready to take whatever heat this comment kicks up: I think TriG was never slated for international release. Sven said "Portable 3rd HD was going to be how we would get 3rd gen content to the west," (paraphrased) as though it would be the ONLY way we would get extensive 3rd gen stuff to tide us over until MH4. The sudden pulling of P3HD due to Capcom and Sony's stubborn spat has created a catastrophic collapse in PR strategy for CUSA/CEU while CJP continues not giving a fuck because monhun prints money in Japan. CUSA now busies itself with damage control and trying to save face with their continued "keep the faith" attitude without really having anything to back that up ready anytime soon, meanwhile CJP takes its time pondering whether or not to globalize the next installment. It's a tough decision for them, because it's simply unacceptable and unreasonable if it sells less anywhere else in the world where it's not a household name and gets no advertising.
