You can see that Matrix beats Yôkai Watch, the biggest IP in Japan atm.
SO, if Matrix is a bigger IP than Yôkai Watch, the only thing Sony has to do is to ask let's say Platinum Games to make a Matrix Vita game. Vita will immediately sell zillions, destroy the Yôkais, overtake the 3DS and reign over the portable market!
What do you think of my great plan?
