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

Grand Turismo

One Piece (japan)

Grand Theft Auto (west)

I don't think any of those titles you mention will have a lasting impact on Vita sales worldwide.  The Vita needs more than a temporary hardware boost, which is all those titles would provide.  Monster Hunter sustained the PSP in Japan.  It was an evergreen title that stayed on the charts and kept PSP numbers at respectable levels.  Final Fantasy, One Piece, GTA, and Gran Tourismo aren't gonna do that anywhere.

Its not about a single game making the system a success, its about a sequence of them within a given season (winter/spring/summer) giving the system momentum and convincing people its worth the investment, and that its going to get great games. Also giving developers confidence that they can make money off it.
