Monster Hunter 3 cut from PS3: Sony Playstation 3 loss Nintendo Wii gain
Yet more bad news for PS3 owners as news has come to light that Monster Hunter 3 is being cut from the Sony games console. Capcom has said that the developing costs to get the game on to the Playstation 3 were very high, so they have now decided to switch platforms and move over to rival Nintendo Wii.

The Monster Hunter series has not been as big as what Capcom though it would be, but the franchise has been very big in Japan and once it moves over to the ever popular Nintendo Wii Monster Hunter 3 is set to be the biggest in the series so far.

Do you think Capcom has made the right decision to scrap the PS3 version and move to the Wii?

    Capcom made a smart business move when they dumped the PS3 for this game. Monster Hunter appeals to a large japanese audience and the Wii is king. Why spend all the money to make a PS3 version when most of your target audience is buying the Wii?

  8. Jack says:

    The target audience in JAPAN are buying the Wii, if Capcom made MH3 on Ps3 it could capture a world wide audience. Millions of people around the world have a Ps3, if MH3 was released on ps3 everyone would know. Feed back from freinds using the messaging system on the ps3 would prompt you to buy this game.

    MH RULES!!!!!!!!!! + I have a Wii and Ps3 so ether way i can still get the game.
