well first off, agree or disagree?  monster hunter single handedly saved the psp from being a completely irrelevant platform a good 3 or so years ago, maybe more.

now with that said and also knowing that i think this gen of handhelds will be down a decent amount over last gen, losing this game to nintnedo could really put the vita into a irrelevence quite quickly.  as i am intending to purchase a vita this makes me say "grrr..".  and as you may have noticed with my feeling towards the wii - i don't like investing in platforms that lose all game support 2 years into their life-cycle.

Agreed on the first part.

Okay, I mistakenly believed that you were content with your smartphone or whatever you have now for gaming on the go. Anyway, the Vita can still bank on good Japanese third party support despite losing exclusivity of MH (4 will still be on the Vita) and it's not like the 3DS will leave the Vita in the dust due to Nintendo's ongoing refusal to cater to their DS audience.

You might reconsider your feeling towards the Wii, because it had no actual game support in the first place. It's more like you and many others, including me, expected more of the announced games to turn out worth playing, but that was just wishful thinking on our part.

top paragraph - easy mistake to make i'm sure.  true, i do most of my gaming on my iphone but on this i don't exactly practice what i preach.  i still strongly believe dedicated handhelds are going to lose a significant amount of customers to smartphones but i'll get one anyways.  

bottom paragraph - if by support you mean games then the wii had amazing support in the first 2ish years.  okay yeah, it was almost entirely nintendo but still... even nintendo stopped supporting the consoles around the 2 year mark.
