:D I don't think that's a really fair statement :) The Wii had a drought in quality 3rd party content, though some very high-quality titles shined through. The same can't be said on a console like the PSP or the Vita, which has a track record of being embraced by japanese 3rd party publishers, despite it (the PSP) being a much smaller success than the DS even in Japan. 1 thrid party exclusive exclusive less is no big deal. 1 exclusive less on the Wii is disastrous, you can't compare. Then again this is MH, the PSP smash success, so I can understand the hit it is to the platform and to the fans. Same goes for DQX. It reminds me of the days Nintendo lost all its huge 3rd party partners and their franchises to Sony, a tough time I found. Castlevania, Metal Gear, Final Fantasy, MegaMan, they were all going exclusive to Sony's Playstation. I found it was a tough time to be a Ninty fan. Then again, this is one or two major IPs, not all of them lol. |

..but you can't deny how very very very important monster hunter was to the sustainability of the psp. psp died everyone but japan and it only survied in japan on the back of MH. losing the franchise is pretty massive for the vita.
