Capcom MH4 on Vita: ''No plans at the moment''

[Tarumon]

Vita will get a port. But Capcom is not stupid. MH probably coulda have sold more on the DS, which had a 2:1 userbase to PSP in Japan.

This is not all gloom and doom for Sony. There is AM, FM, and XM radio, Vita is like ...VM...no matter how clear the signal, how many features in the VM radio, if you don't provide enough content, it's just a big paper weight.

Sony cannot afford the same console strategy of PS3 in a market that has only one competitor, the indisputed leader of handhelds. As much as it sucked that MSFT encroached on Playstation's turf, but the coopetition at least ensured the biggest piece of the pie was with them, not Nintendo. In that environment, having hardware that can keep up with MSFT, and light years ahead of Wii, was enough, 70 million units enough. Multiplatformers took care of sales and just some exclusives here and there to combat the lone Halo was enough.

Vita doesnt have a buddy that was throwing money at creating a common userbase for 3rd parties. So now you are more expensive, not getting a 2fer 1 marketing blitz effect vs Nintendo, and simply not any first party portable game franchise. Nintendo has Pokemon to toss out in times of trouble and uncertainty, Mario to the rescue, Mario Kart to ride on. I would love for Sony to invest in some franchises that are not Mario wanna be, Smashbro wanna bes.
