I mean, you really think Vita sales would of more then doubled, and that nearly everyone who owned a PSP wanted Monster Hunter?  That's just ridiculious.

Sorry, but I think we're at an end here. That is not even close to what I've said anywhere, and I can't keep repeating that the Vita doesn't need to sell the same 20 million units as the PSP for Monster Hunter to sell on it what Monster Hunter's going to sell anywhere. You think it does, but I disagree.

I do think it's absurd to say that the Vita tanked because people felt burned by the PSP. The 3DS initially tanked because it was overpriced and had no games, not because people weren't happy with the DS. The Wii U is tanking for similar reasons, not because people hated the Wii.

Edit: Since it came up, I looked out of curiosity and it seems Capcom last proprietary arcade hardware was released in 1996.

That's the point though, you disagree.... but you're wrong.

Does it need to sell 20 million units?  No... but it needs to sell a hell of a lot closer to 20 million then it does 5 million the Vita has in sales now.

Attachment rates like you are talking about just don't exist outside of heavily bundled titles and launch titles.  (Though because of limited supply the launch titles have small numbers of sales.)

 

I mean, how much do you think the new port will do?  Will we see a sudden pickup of vita hardware starting next week?
