FIFA14 is really FIFA13 on 3DS

It`s not because a console sees some increase in HW sales that we should expect a correspondant growth in SW sales in games.
What i mean is, it`s not garanteed that all those who bought the last game will be buying it again + a percentage of those who bought a Vita since the last game came out.
The HW increase hasn`t been great enough to assure that, no matter what, the game can grow in sales this year aswell.

Look at Wii U: games like Splinter Cell aren`t being given the full port treatment because Ubisoft knows the install base isn`t there to maximize profits. And i could use other examples.
As Vita, Wii U hasn`t grown enough to ensure developers that they can spend more money on ports.

Problem of the Wii u is people will always prefer multiplatform on Sony and Microsoft consoles.

About Vita nobody know the future so a real port of Fifa could do bad but it could do quite good, and i hear it's easy to port a ps3 game on Vita so i don't they would cost them a lot of money to make a great port,if they don't want to do some risk,Ea should not even make a Fifa on Vita because  it will bomb ,the first fifa sold 0.48 second does 0.22 this year it would sold less then that

At the start of Wii U`s lifetime that really was a problem. Also, it didn`t help that Fifa and other games were already in the market before it came out. But when the userbase grows, so will that potential userbase grow aswell.

No one knows the future, but they know the sales of the HW. And in their mind they see a userbase for that game and, to them, it doesn`t pay off putting the extra effort (money) to add extras to the game.
If the 3DS or Vita sales for Fifa suck this year, you can bet that next year, chances are a new version may not even arrive.
