Sony had to give them something...putting it on vita is suicide. Then again, it does have better looking games but...Game Gear? Eh, it'll be interesting anyway. Nintendo seems to be losing SE support for now. Still waiting on a proper Mana game after Mana 3. |
Japanese centric game released on what is currently the 2nd biggest Japanese platform is suicide? Makes a lot of sense given how much 3DS limitations are clearly showing now. Also allows for easy porting to PS3/PS4 should they decide to release in the West.

It's suicide by 3DS standards. It's outselling 4:1 ... sometimes even more. The 3DS isn't selling games on graphics and power but pure fun. The New 3DS aims to make those limitations vanish as well. If you want to sell more games, the thing is to sell on a platform with a larger install base, all I'm saying.
|
But 3DS software sales are very... Particular. Not much sells well on it. But what sells well sells incredibly. Heck even Samurai Warriors Chronicles 3 debuted better on Vita than 3DS.
Install base isn't everything. The type of user in that install base also plays a factor. Hence FPS games sell like ass on Nintendo consoles despite being one of the biggest genres on the PS3/4 and 360/One. Vita is really setting it's stall up as a JRPG home.

Even if it is a JRPG home, most of them are obsucre and don't match up to Dragon Quest, Yokai, or Monster Hunter.....dare I mention Pokemon. They'll get Tales, Persona even though 3DS did get Q, and Legend of Heroes, and Y's...stuff that barely gets past the 1M mark. Most JRPGS on 3DS don't come over here and cut their chances too early. Handheld JRPG and Dragon Quest and Pokemon have become synonomous in Japan. And those are only on 3DS. Oh, look at me sounding like Reggie, let me shut up.
