The problem Sony has is that with those sales, no mentally sane developer would invest on a Vita AAA exclusive game. This time they don't have a twin console that could make it viable in the long term. |
Yeah, not really. A couple of months ago a Japanese game sold best on Vita (beat psp and 3DS). Persona 4 Golden did amazing as well. I have no doubt that a monster hunter game on the vita would sell extremely well, even better than on the 3ds.

The issue is; if you don't have this title in development, or if it is in the early stages of development, then why risk releasing the title on the PSV as opposed to the 3DS when there's such a large sales gap?
They'll always be anomolies, yes. But you'd have to be pretty gutsy to take the plunge on the Vita and the Vita alone with no backup plan. And if they do create a backup plan in the 3DS, then you've sort of defeated the whole concept in the first place.

I don't think any Japanese devloper would make a game exclusively for Vita anymore. Sony would really have to pay them to make the game, fund it themselves and maybe publish it too.

Exactly my point. So if you don't have exclusives, then what attracts people to the console?
And if the 3DS is outselling it by such a large amounth, then why bother even making the Vita version in the first place?
I can only imagine the scene getting worse. With DQVII and MH4 coming out early next year, for the 3DS, I think the Vita has literally no chance. The way things are going, of course.
