RE:Revelations hasn't even been out a holiday season so it should get a little bump this holiday season. I believe it is more an issue of install base than anything else. I wanted to just say that I believe they are doing it in Japan. MH going to the 3DS is one of the biggest games they could have secured for Japan. Just look at the weekly 3DS and Vita sales in Japan.

Vita - 5,319
3DS - 87,466

Japanese gamers have little reason to pick up the Vita considering MH4 is coming to the 3DS. This means the Vita will probably never achieve PSP sales while the 3DS will stay near DS sales.  If the Japanese have little faith in the Vita then that pretty much means game over for Sony.

I think the 3DS will surpass DS sales in Japan, developers are already begining to treat it like its the countries main platform.
