Many games on Vita sold well if you really look at the sales and compare them to to the equivalent on PSP( Ys Celceta, Persona for example) , in fact, Japan games sell pretty well on Vita, even new IPs like Gravity Rush ( sold more than any other new ip on PSP ) and Soul Sacrifice so it's wrong.
Obviously, little games will have little games sales, middle games will have middle games sales, big games will sell like big games ( uncharted sold 1M, good attach rate for a game given for free) and low budget games will have low budget sales ( COD, assassin's creed, both were low budget but they had great sales, almost 900k for ac vita ( ubisoft said they were happy with 600k) and for a smartphone game, COD sold very well ).
Japanese publishers understood that games sell well on Vita, this is why it's getting more and more support.
MH would obviously sell like hot cakes on it.

Sorry my comments were more geared towards the west and the PSV. I think the PSV will do well in Japan.
Hmmm seems like a lot of people in this thread are happy with the software sales of the PSV...
I ask you this..do you think that the big publishers like Activision, Ubisoft and EA will invest more or less in the PSV this year compared to last year? Given their ROI since the release of the PSV.
Edit: Also just to add my comment was "No vita game has sold really well" Not "No vita game has sold well". I'm sorry for not making this clear but i was thinking games that sold really well or have the potential to sell really well like 5m plus. No console can survive on 1 million sellers..

Vita needs other big exclusive games in the west, at the moment, the only 2 big exclusives are uncharted and ac:l ( not anymore an exclusive in fact) . But there is not enough games to show to the publishers games sell well on Vita, they only very bad system sales in the west.
(Btw i really dont think games like COD or ac:liberation would sell better on 3DS)
Vita will be a excellent japanese console, with few western games ( the next is infamous according to famousmortimer)

Thats what i was saying :O I agree!
Yeah COD and AC would probably sell worse on the 3DS even if the 3DS had double its current install base ;)
I think Sony needs to re-evaluate their strategy with their mobile consoles...they have tried to bring the home console experience to the mobile gamer but the market has rejected that approach. Sony needs to adapt.
