The 3DS has decent 3rd party support in Japan, but the Vita, like the PSP before it sees better sales on 3rd party software ( i believe this is because Sony isnt as strong as Nintendo as a first party).

I would like to see some suport for this statement.

This is the best I could find:

These are the best selling 3DS/Vita multiplats, games with low sales like Angry Birds Star Wars (3DS>Vita too) aren't there.

Here's the Vita and 3DS' top 10 games published worldwide by third parties (hence no MH 3 U or Layton):

The 11-20 best selling 3DS third party games have outsold Vita's top 10 too.

So it's the opposite actually.


Bolded the part of the Nem's statement I think you're missing.  This is Media Create, after all.

Not that your conclusion wouldn't be the same, just that comparing a lot of worldwide releases isn't really answering the "3rd party sales are better in Japan" argument.  You just need to link Monster Hunter to show that, but you'll open a whole can of worms if you do.
