Up until now Capcom has never expressly told us that an announcement is incoming, just that we should "stay tuned." So it's not like they've told us they were going to announce something in the past and then didn't, this is the first time since Tri that they've come to us and said that indeed they have something to announce in the very near future. You can understand why some of us are taking this a bit more seriously than we otherwise would.

P3rd HD WAS supposed to be localized by now, Capcom said so, from the sounds of it Sony threw up a bunch of road blocks which made it almost impossible to get it over here. So don't think they haven't tried to get us more MH since Tri. Not only that but if you can't wait as long as we have so far for MH3G then you obviously weren't around for MHP2ndG, which took more than an entire year past the Japansese release for us to get our version. It's not at all unrealistic to assume that the time for announcement is closing in, given that this is not the longest Capcom has made us wait.
