Monster Hunter 3 Not Coming to PLAYSTATION 3?

Today, the PLAYSTATION 3 has sadly lost a very good exclusive.

Monster Hunter 3 was originally planned as a PLAYSTATION 3 exclusive title. Today, Capcom announced that the title will be released as a Nintendo Wii only title.

They explain to Games Industry. Capcom’s managing corporate officer Katsuhiko Ichii told Thompson Financial that:

“Due to high development cost of titles for PS3, we have decided to switch the platform to which we release our Monster Hunter 3 title.”

I'm very disappointed to see this as Monster Hunter is a great franchise and would of done very well on the PLAYSTATION 3.
