Monster Hunter may not be just for Wii

Considering how popular Monster Hunter is in Japan (and how fast wii is selling there) I wasn't too surprised when I found out that the new Monster Hunter game would be released for the wii....first that is. Capcom loves money and that means there's going to be more than enough Monster Hunter love for everyone. (expect for maybe DS.) At least, that's how I deciphered the quote below. I'm pretty sure I hit the nail on the head.

"Also in the news section is a tiny interview regarding the recent platform switch for Monster Hunter 3 from the PS3 to the Wii. Asked if it was possible that the Monster Hunter series would still come to the PS3, Capcom’s publicity department said that Capcom has a multiplatform strategy, so they cannot deny the possibility. Asked if numbered versions of the game could appear on the PSP, the response was that the PSP portable series has an important position within the company. Finally, Famitsu pointed out that some people may have purchased a PS3 once Monster Hunter 3 was announced last year. This drew a big apology from the Capcom reps, who said that PS3 owners should wait for further announcements in the series."

[Update: so far, Monster Hunter 3 is exclusive to the Wii. Check out some new Monster Hunter 3 Scans from Famitsu magazine.]
