VGC is too critical of Sony

Is there no way that the vita can get the new monster hunter? We all know that it's probably the one game that can 'save' the vita in Japan, but have whether it can get it or not is another thing.. Have Nintendo and capcom signed an exclusive contract or is 3ds exclusivity simply down to capcom?

It was important last gen because NDS didn't get a Monster Hunter game, so it was a PSP system seller. Do Vita fans really think it's going to make a difference in Vita-3DS sales if both consoles have a Monster Hunter game? Vita can only tie in this regard, having both consoles their own game. Vita fans should look for an exclusive game that creates this difference, Monster Hunter won't be this difference maker this gen if Vita gets its version, if Vita doesn't get it, then it's a 3DS system seller.

I agree, Vita needs something else to step up and become the next big IP. Who knows, maybe Soul Sacrifice can do something, but either way I think things will be much different from last gen in regards to both dedicated handhelds. Too much going for those mobile devices. I can only imagine what happens when these mobile devices get even more support.

Thinking about it rationally and looking at the sales, Monster Hunter was growing in popularity but not quite 'there' yet until the PSP, where the sales seemed to grow exponentially with each installment.  Sony just need to get onto the next big thing before it happens.  Maybe Soul Sacrifice like a lot of people are saying, I'm sure they'd prefer it to be their own IP (since that won't go anywhere!)
