If the rumored MH4 port comes to Vita, and I think there's a good chance it will, the Vita very well might outsell Wii U lifetime. Look what MH did for the PSP.

Difference is it won't have that exclusivity. Will you go out and spend $300 for the PSVita version, or just $50 for the 3DS version? 


Didn't some notable multiplat between the two last year sell significantly more on Vita despite the lower install base?

I don't recall, bar maybe Rayman Origins (though this isn't a fair comparison as the 3DS version was awful and it was already on most systems). 

I'm not saying it won't sell well; I'm just saying the effect of a MH4 wouldn't have anywhere near the same effect as it did for the PSP, and it certainly wouldn't save the Vita in Japan when it's up against the 3DS.

 

Coincidentally, where are this week's numbers?


Hardware numbers for Japan (Media Create Jan 21 - Jan 27)

PlatformThis weekYTD
3DSLL 48,226 311,802
3DS 26,898 217,097
PS3 18,322 125,362
Wii U 13,746 118,198
PSP 12,897 100,182
PS Vita 9,748 63,181
Wii 2,093 11,797
XB360 611 4,131

PS3 still above Wii U, PSP still above PS Vita, 3DS dominates. More of the same I suppose.

Were these numbers already out? I'm not sure...
