| Kenology said: The fact that Monster Hunter will be on 3DS first totally deludes any subsequent exclusive Monster Hunter game released for the Vita. It would certainly improve Vita sales but it wouldn't really help it in the race against the 3DS at all. This is a really tough question. Not because we don't know the answers, because we do. It's just the most plausible solutions aren't practical (i.e. price cut) or are a long ways away (i.e. an exclusive MH [if it even happens] and system selling games). |
Monster Hunter isn't the only software that would help and that franchise only has power in japan. There a number of titles I think can push the Vita worldwide from 50k on the average to closer to 80-100k.
Final Fantasy: Final Fantasy X HD, Final Fantasy Type 0 Vita (international release and japanese special edition), Final Fantasy V, A new spin of title.
Grand Turismo: Arguably Sony's biggest franchise, this would definitely sell hardware in japan, not so sure about the west, although it would definitely sell well over here.
One Piece (japan): this franchise has proven to be massive in japan and the ps3 title sold over 600k in its 1st week. If the Vita can get an original game from the franchise that would do sony good.
Grand Theft Auto (west): A stand alone Vita GTA would do great, its still the highest selling psp game.
I think In the west its more abou having a variety of AAA titles, whereas in japan one big franchise can change it all.
