MHX is a big experiment. That's the main drive for this game, and in that respect it's very similar to MH Tri and MH4. The developers are focusing on some major new gameplay elements, and naturally they want to see how their biggest fanbase takes it before releasing anything overseas.

A cash grab? No. There's going to be plenty of content. An immense amount of work is being put into this title with everything they're trying to pull off.
