Install base. I'm sure most people who want a new monster hunter game already have or will have soon a 3DS, so it's a much cheaper investment for them to buy that game on the 3DS than on the Vita when/if the Vita has it's game. We are not talking of niche games, we are talking of MH, a huge franchise in Japan.

We have tons of examples of install base not making a difference in terms of sales. And in regard to Monster hunter, just a reminder: the psp sold more than 300.000 units in a week with the release of a monster hunter game (after the release of several monster hunter psp games). It is plausible that the vita would have a similar boost.


If I were a Vita fan, I wouldn't put my hopes on a game that has not been anounced, and will be soon on it's rival console. I'll say it again, it doesn't make much business sense to develop high budget games for a console that sells so little every week.


I'm not putting any hopes on a mh game. Just noting that I consider your argument flawed. I guess we're gonna have to agree to disagree.
