but they were also heavily marketed and hyped

Are we talking about the same games here?  Mind=0 heavily marketed and hyped?  Silent Hill: Book of Memories?  Tearaway?  Half of those were stealth releases in Japan.

There were "heavily marketed and hyped" Japanese Vita releases for the year, but we're looking at things like Soul Sacrifice; Toukiden; Ragnarok Odyssey Ace; Phantasy Star Online 2; God Eater 2 & Final Fantasy X HD.  Not the games you listed which seem to be from publishers who don't have the money to do any marketing + western developed titles.

I think you misnderstood that part of my post.  The "heavily marketed and hyped" part was in referrence to the "ports and remakes" part, not the exclusives part...which Tearaway, Silent Hill and Mind 0 fall under.
