I still believe this is just another mobile game, it doesn't really make much sense to release another AC for Vita now. |
Why not? AC 3: Liberation sold well on the Vita and now it has an established fanbase on the system. Keep your fanboy stuff to yourself, I get it you're frustrated that its not coming to the 3DS.

Yup, Liberation sold well(based on VGChartz numbers it probably gave Ubi a small profit), and that's exactly why. Announcing a new AC game for Vita would make no sense, because it would kill Liberation's sales which should grow much higher over the year thanks to the lack of system sellers on Vita. Anyway, that's just my opinion, no need to get mad, I didn't even mentioned 3DS in my post, as by saying mobile I meant iPhone, Android, WP, etc., releases.

Sequels are what push franchises to new record highs, not sitting on your ass and waiting until that old game you released reaches a certain milestone. The game will still be available to purchase in stores so if people want to play it it's available. I think Liberation is done selling. It clearly doesn't have any significant long sexy legs.

AC3 is still selling well now despite having been released quite a long time ago, and that's considering 360, PS3 and PC got many new games being released during that time frame. Vita is low on releases and AC:L is one of the few must-buy games on the system, it makes much more sense to let it keep selling (because of the lack of competition) than waste money to release a new game whose profit probably won't be much higher than the first one.

AC3 is selling beacuse of the huge install base of PS3/360. Liberations isn't because of the tiny install base. New games convince people to buy a system, not old ones, regardless of how good they are. This early in the Vita's life cycle, its more about keeping a healthy relationship with Sony than making profits.
