In all things you put a certain amount of something into it. If you don't get at least a certain amount more than what you put into it it's not considered to be worth it. E.g... Predators hunt animals, but they don't expend more energy hunting the animal than they will get back. The same goes for corporations like Capcom, if they don't think MH3G will generate enough revenue they won't release it. One of the determining factors is how well the console is selling the other in this case is how well MH3 sold in the West.
