That said, I don't think MH would have sold quite as well on the Vita. The MH faithful would have bought one, but it clearly has a larger market to attract on the 3DS.

I do think you can find that, sometimes, a game's target audience is resistant to buying a certain platform or a particular console's user base is more receptive to certain games. Certainly JRPGs didn't move the needle much for the 360, and there have been late Wii->PS3 ports that sold better than the original releases despite the much smaller user base.

You are missing the more obvious point though.
Most people won't buy a system for 1 game.
Software drives hardware sales, which drives other games software sales. They both feed into each other. It's not either or.

I agree. But there are gamers that buy a system for THE GAME with other lesser games to back up the purchase. Vita has lots of good games but it still doesn't have that heavy hitter.

Some, sure. I'd say that isn't true for the majority though, even for buyers of huge franchises.
Actually for big franchises that's more true than anything, since they are big specifically because they appeal to multiple audiences.
