A Japanese news publication is reporting that the delay that struck Monster Hunter 4 was due to the fact that Capcom wanted a simultaneous release of the long-awaited game for the Nintendo 3DS and the PlayStation Vita. The reason why the game could be coming to PlayStation Vita is simply to boost sales of the device which has failed to catch on with consumers. Here’s what the publication had to say regarding the matter.

“Whilst originally it was said that the delay of MH4 was due to wanting to make a better quality game and graphics, the real reason appears to be that it may be released on the PS Vita to increase sales.”
