Forums - Gaming Discussion - What Would Be The Biggest Meltdown In Japan: DQXI for 3DS or MH5 for Vita? (Both Exclusive)

MH on Vita, definitely XD



Around the Network

Monster Hunter purely because capcop already got the MH user base to buy a 3DS this gen.



RIP Dad 25/11/51 - 13/12/13. You will be missed but never forgotten.

MH5 on the Vita would make people happy I think. Capcom just sees the install base of the Vita, not thinking about how much the game would sell Vitas...



Easily MH for Vita! This shouldn't even be questioned if you ask me.. :/

Fact: Sony is never going to lay down that much cash for a Vita exclusive for any reason.

Truth: For both DQ and MH,  a PS4 version would really sell no better than a WiiU one.


I can't speak on monster hunter because its not a console franchise, but DQXI on PS4 would destroy a Wii U version. Especially if we're talking about outside of japan. 

Fact: Sales for DQ outside Japan are pitiful. Outside Japan, it's niche. There's just not enough there to inspire Sony to dole out cash for something like that.

Japan WiiU and PS4 sales are pretty similar so therefore, no real difference in sales between any two version.



I predict NX launches in 2017 - not 2016

Even though DQXI has been hinted on consoles, MH5 would be an unbelievable coup for the PSV at this point. I wouldn't be shocked if the 3DS ultimately got DQXI tbh (though it is highly unlikely).

It's not huge like in Japan but it's definitely not pitiful, check DQ VIII/IX, their sales are still pretty respectable in the west.

Since when was 1.4m ''pitifull''? Thats what DQVIII managed n the west. In anycase I wasn't talking about the chances of sony money hatting, simply correcting the later half of your statement.

''Truth: For both DQ and MH,  a PS4 version would really sell no better than a WiiU one.''

A PS4 version would obviously sell notably better because of the west as we've contribute over 1m to the last 2 entries in mainline series and the PS4 will proabbably have quadrubled wii U sales by release. Not to mention the PS4 has an obvious impending or already existing JRPG fanbase with all of the games that are coming to it both in west and in Japan (Persona 5, FFXV, Kingdom Hearts 3) and an entry in the franchise itself in the form of DQHeroes. All things considered the PS4 has a much healthy future, actually has an abundance of RPGs coming when compared to the Wii U in Japan, so really a PS4 version would be more succesfull universally. Theres no sensible line of logic to really doubt that.

The biggest will be when both comes to the PS4.


Isnt DQXI heavily hinted for ps4 though?

It is. They said it's going to be on a console, which should rule out 3DS.
