Theres no logical reason for Capcom to do that, except if they want to clean their hands of secondary guilt for the Vita's flop.

money hatting


Sony isnt supposed to have money.

Yet they continue to found titles for both the Vita, Ps3 and are about to launch a new system in the next 16months, with its own exclusives. They clearly have enough to invest in projects, they just must have realised that 3rd party titles might make for better investments in regards to the Vita than most 1st party titles/franchises. If this rumour turns out to be true it'll definitely turn a profit for sony in the long run, boosting the systems profile in Japan 3x fold (even if it is multiplatform) and thus promoting japanses game development which will benefit even western owners (provided they like japanese games). I still have hope for FF-type 0 in the west!


Ok, i guess i have to get literal with you.

They have money to keep their current operations and for now to keep paying their debts. That doesnt mean they have money to squander (wich is why they cant afford a drastic price cut on the Vita).

Remember, for every loan that Sony takes to pay their operations and pay their old debt they have to pay an even greater interest.

When they no longer have the financial means to finance their current operations is when they bankrupt. Hopefully by next year the PS4 is out, and the PS3 keeps churning money for them and they can turn it around.

Also, if this rumor is true, it might be enough to save the Vita if its an upgraded version from the 3DS. If its just multi-platform, then i dont think it will make a huge difference.

So explain to me, what constitutes current operations and how would funding a Monster Port not fit into this category? 

Secondly, I see no reason why this wouldn't save the Vita in Japan, especially considering the strong Q1 it has comming up. Knowing that they could also get monster hunter on the Vita is bound to increase people interest in the system as opposed to making 3DS the mandory handheld purchase.  Bare in mind the Vita being saved does not equate to it selling 3DS numbers.
