I'm not going to argue with you about localization - the Western fanbase isn't going to buy Monster Hunter games if there aren't any to buy - but the rest of your post seems like blatant fanboyism.

You say that the loss of a PS3 Monster Hunter caused the community to turn away, but Tri was the most popular console outing yet, and the most popular Monster Hunter game in America. So, what, fans were so upset that they went out and bought a Wii? Seeing as Nintendo was the one who published the game in Europe, I'm guessing it would have even fewer fans there if it had stayed on PS3.

As for the 3DS providing Monster Hunter restricting where the series can go... Really? What I've been reading is that Monster Hunter Tri G proved itself already. It's also received some decent coverage from the Western gaming press (or at least coverage of the localization rumours). Monster Hunter 4's trailer shows the series being perhaps more adventurous than it's ever been before, going off the beaten path of conservative expansions to the same gameplay. It's been floating at the top of Famitsu's most wanted games list since that one trailer was shown. What a surprise that a series that's far more popular on portables than consoles is popular on a console. Surely, the 3DS is holding the series back!

Excuse me for being cynical, but it doesn't seem like you're interested in Monster Hunter's future at all. You're interested in Sony's future. Your post may worm around it but that's where your statements are heading.
