| TheLastStarFighter said: I doubt they would bother bringing it to Vita, and if they did it won't move a lot of units since it will already be on 3DS. It was big on PSP because it WASN'T on DS. Not unlike the WiiU, Vita needs good exclusive content. Having the same content is nice, but not great when you are more expensive. |
So the logic that many Nintendo fans were using for the Wii back in the hey day about games like COD being ported and Activition not leaving money on the table does not apply for Sony consoles? Why should the number of units matter if its pure profit for capcom because the 3DS version will sell well?
I'm not sure what logic Nintendo fans were using and I don't know if it's right or not. I'm just saying I doubt they would port it and if they did it's not a big deal one way or the other. Just like COD, Batman and AC3 are not a big deal for WiiU. They are nice, and if you have a WiiU it's nice to be able to play those games. But they are available on cheaper systems. And the sales may cover the cost of porting, but from the publishers perspective I still don't know if it's worth it since a lot of consumers would have bought it on another system if it wasn't on WiiU.
PSV has a userbase of 1 million in Japan. Monster Hunter is very popular and consumers will buy a system to play it. Capcom can make it for the 10 million and rapidly growing 3DS base. Making a copy for Vita would probably just mean some people picking up a Vita instead and canabalizing sales of the game on 3DS. For Capcom I doubt it means more sales. I could be wrong and Capcom will make their decisions. I don't care, I don't play handhelds and I don't play MH. But I just doubt Capcom would bother, unless Sony is funding it, which they might, because Vita needs games.
