I meant it more that it would sell more on 3DS than Vita, as well as just in general.  DR isn't as nearly as niche as CII, and the install base for the 3DS is just that much larger. But who knows.


Larger user base doesn't mean squat when games are selling in such small quantities.

And actually, DanganRonpa is more niche than Conception 2.  It sold 13.5k in its first month in the USA, so lower than the Vita version of Conception 2 and much lower than Vita + 3DS versions.  And we saw how that worked out, so I actually think it's coming to the correct platform.

But this is a pointless debate anyway.  It would need to be ported to 3DS in Japan by Spike Chunsoft, and at this point in the game they've clearly got no interest in doing that.  The next Dangan Ronpa game is Vita-exclusive so it looks like the series is staying for the time being.

I know its pointless, haha, I am merely stating my thoughts on the matter. Obviously its not going to get ported.

That said, DR was more niche but I do not think (know) it is anymore with the exposure its gotten from its TV serialization in Japan, which inevitably spills over into the US, all of which was just a long commercial for the games. Its more likely now that people are, if even marginally, more aware of DR than of Conc.

Conception 2 surprised me in how much it sold on the 3DS, more than anything, considering that it was a terrible port, and anyone interested in the game would have been well aware of its defecits. The fact that it sold as it did comes/came as a surprise to me.
