The Monter Hunter games sold millions on PSP. There's a reason for that. It's because the PSP doesn't have Pokemon or Mario. Monster Hunter pretty much had the PSP all to itself. Monster Hunter on the 3DS will have trouble reaching the same success as the PSP since it has a lot more competition. This is why you see 3rd party games selling better on Vita or PSP instead of DS or 3DS. Yes, the games should be where they sell best and for Monster Hunter that should be the PSP or Vita. Capcom has to build a fanbase for the franchise on the 3DS when there is already one on the PSP. If they had made a Monster Hunter game for Vita, it would have been a smooth transition. But Nintendo stepped in and pulled a Microsoft. Now look at the Japanese market. Look how dreadful those sales are across the board....3DS isn't picking up the slack for the Vita. This may sound crazy but the lack of Monster Hunter on the Vita due to some Nintendo/Capcom deal has hurt the games industry in Japan. |
VG, I don't how you work yourself into these Glen Beck like posts lol. Yes, it sold millions on PSP, but it so did also on Wii. It sold like shit on the Sony home consoles, so not seeing your point actually other the fact you want Monster Hunter on Vita because you think it save the Vita. The fact this is a business, and Capcom probably made a business calculation seeing that the 3DS install base is over 6 times the Vita's. I3rd party games sell better on 3DS than Vita, example RE:Revelations has sold over 700,000 and that's more than ever Vita game except Uncharted I think. Pulling a Mircosoft? Please don't use that tited Sony fan nonsense people keep yelling about Microsoft buying exclusives. Every company, including Nintendo with thier army of super selling exclusives, enters into deals to bring software to their consoles, its nothing new. Its up to the developer whether or not their game will be exclusive or to a platform. Sony tries to buy exclusives too so don't act like they don't.
