Monster Hunter aside, I wonder whether capcom will stop neglecting the Vita once its sales explode in Japan this winter.


what is the holiday killer app?

No one killer, but series of high profile titles. Final Fantasy XHD, J star Versus, God Eater 2 and a ton of lessor but still notible titles like Gundam breaker, Dynasty warriors 8 ultimate, Legend of heroes. Since the release of Toukiden (multiplat), its sales have increased around 70% and remained relatively high despite no high profile releases. So I can only assume that come winter where their is a consistent stream of titles we will see a significant boost, not talking 3DS levels but enough for the Vita to become the next best platform to release your games on.


So you think that all those titles you mentioned will explode Vita sales, while those games are also on another system. You last comment is more positive than it actually is, because the next best platform is the last platform too.


Well,yeah... explode Vita sales in relation to what they've been (12k).  And yes even though most are multiplatform, I specified Toukiden because that title is a new IP and multiplatform (PSP, huge userbase) yet provided a strong boost to vita's sales. The top 3 games I mentioned are all likely to perform better then Toukiden and will likely be mere weeks from each other. So if the Vita is currently selling around -17k whilst selling 33k on the week of the week of Toukidens release, I don't see why you won't expect some impressive sales this winter where the system will have a superior line up compared to this quarter.

Also your last statement is untrue as developers also have the option to release games on the PS3, PSP and Wii U. By years end the Vita will likely be the 2nd best option next to the 3DS.
