My theory. MH3G is being released in Japan shortly before the release of the PSVita. This is a smart move for Nintendo as many.... Many people will actually buy a syatem for a chance to play a MH game and if Nintendo has succesfully blocked any announcement of a MH game on the Vita for the time being it will lead to a lot more holding off on getting a Vita until the announcement is made. Most likely I do believe MH3G will be released in the west as well but again I see Nintendo holding off on that announcement until the Vita is given a release date in the west. Nintendo will then announce 3G to be released around the same time. By that time, 3G will have been out for a while and will have gotten a lot more hype in the west. People will then have to make a choice. A PSVita for $300, or a 3DS with 3D and a new Monster hunter game for just $200. Even without online play and with local multiplayer instead, it will be a very tempting offer. We already know there are more than enough people willing to buy a system (even in the west) for a MH game. And with the prospect of 2 on it's way for one system and none for the other... It will sway the opinions of many people. Just a thought... Any ways, I do think we will see an announcement for 3G in the west around the same date as the Vita launce in the west...
