Ermm, not really. Sony and Nintendo visions were initially the same but suspiciously all of the key contributors to the PSP (capcom, square enix) magically vanised and become 3DS exclusive. Can you say money hat?

I can indeed say money hat, but I don't know why I would. If Monster Hunter exclusivity was acquired through such means, it would suggest that Nintendo was actually good at coercing third parties to develop for their platform. So tell me, if Nintendo is in the practice of buying exclusives, and are good enough at it to get Capcom and Square Enix to abandon Sony handhelds for their own, where are all the third-party money hat efforts on Wii U?

hhmm, Monster Hunter Tri Ultimate and Dragon Quest X? Beyonetta 2 and Sonic Lost Worlds. Mayb more to be announced, monster hunter 4 was revealed 9 months after the 3DS came out.
 
Anyway handhelds and Consoles are different environments, so whether or not they've actually engaged that practice on the Wii U isn't a huge consideration of mine.
