3rd game for 3DS, how about a Vita game already? Not to mention they announced a PSP version years ago at E3 that faded away (probably became 3DS game).


LOL...probably because the PSV is selling so badly(less than 2M sold after 6 months of an official release); Capcom is hesitant to bring the game to the system.  Even if the attach rate is 10-15% (very high for a RE game) the game will only sell 190K-250K barely enough to make up for the investment making the game.

With that logic nobody would make any games on any console before the second year. 3DS was in a similar situation when Capcom released The Mercenaries. 

There is such a lack of competition on PSV right now it would make sense to at least port one of these games over. Attach rates are always much higher with big titles near the release of any device.

Except that succesful consoles don't sell less than 2M units after 6 months of being on sale.  Look at UC:GA and you'll see that it only sold 500K despite being the PSV biggest game!!!  A full fledge RE game will not sell more than 200K units and barely make the effort meaningful for Capcom.


Doesn't need to be a full fledged game, could be a DS port for all I care - just give it something. It would definitely sell more than 200k, I can tell you that for a fact.

 

I doubt it man.  Besides the fact that the PSV's future is uncertain; most of the PSV top 10 games barely passes 130K mark!!!  The only one that did is Uncharted Golden Abyss and that only manage to sell 500K despite the bundles and such.  It's so sad because Sony was hoping to sell at the very least 2.5M PSV BEFORE March 2012(meaning in Japan only) but it hasn't even sold 2M world wide approaching this mid May.
