Monster Hunter sold "like shit" on Sony home consoles because it didn't become the juggernaut it is until the PSP releases. The Wii game released after Monster Hunter exploded in popularity. 3rd Party games DO NOT sell better on 3DS. Looking at games that have released on both 3DS/Vita you see that some have actually sold better on Vita despite the much lower install base.

A perfect example is Rayman Origins.
0.03m on 3DS
0.31m on Vita

Fifa Soccer 13
0.13m on 3DS
0.18m on Vita

3rd party games sell exponentially better on Vita despite that MUCH MUCH lower install base. That is reason enough for a game like Monster Hunter to be on Vita. Not only because the fanbase is there, but because it will sell more.

And you are basing your arguments on the results of a delayed game on the 3DS and a franchise that usually performs better on Sony devices, yeah right.

A rather weak claim, if you ask me. The thing is that with as both systems are new not a long number of multiplattform franchises have been released for both handhelds. For example I could say that Sega must be mad with PSV because their version of Super Monkey Ball, which was quite advertised, didn't even charted in it's japanese launch. Now, I could just keep going saying that this is the perfect example to show how great the 3DS is for 3rd parties as the 3DS version fared a lot better. But that would not be correct, would it?

Anyways, the guy states some obvious points but the outrage is not necesary, but who can't blame him, all canadian devs suck, amarite?
