Famitsu: 64% of Japanese players plan to buy PS Vita this year.

I don't doubt that many would be looking forward to buying a PS-Vita

Who wouldn't rather play Monster Hunter 4 on PS-Vita (than 3DS) with Party Chat guaranteed built into the system already, dual-analog built in, HD-visuals, and better battery life.

The only  problem with the PS-Vita is the perceived lack of software support, but the hardware itself (aside from unnecessary inferior and more expensive proprietary memory card solution) has always been a winner for any gaming consumer.
