Because of these reasons it will also slowly start geiing more support, look at RE Revelations 2. The 3DS has been a huge success but for numerous reasons the Vita which is selling horribly is getting it.

the vita is getting "revelaitons" 2 because it's easy as hell to port to vita from ps3/4. and by easy as hell i mean fool-proof. you too could create your own vita port!

as for the vita sticking around, that's how the psp got to 80m, but the thing is the psp at least had support. a resident evil port and a bunch of jrpgs and dating sims will not help the vita sell. and lo and behold, the vita has not sold. 2m in 2014 (mostly in japan), much less than in 2013, and likely much less to come in 2015. vita'll be lucky to get to 12-13m without sony pulling the plug on it completely. freedom wars will probably be the last high-profile release, and that wasn't even that high-profile... as for the wii u comparison, there is no comparison. the wii u is getting the lion's share of nintendo's attention whereas vita is getting indie games and jrpgs. please, try harder. wii u will easily pass the vita in mid-2015. and the wii u will be around until 2018--no nintendo platform has ever been supported for less than 5-6 years except for the virtual boy, and the wii u is not doing virtual boy numbers (the vita's much, much closer to that).

Your probably right. Tbh I'm a bit bitter at the lack of RE on Wii U.

I mean, where's the Wii U port of Revelations 2? Fair enough it might be harder to port but it can't really be hard? They did it with the first and don't get me started on REmake. How can the Wii U not get these games? It can't be the sales excuse as its outselling Vita.

I don't get it tbh and its not as though it hasn't happened with other games, but they make sense. SFV, MH4 and Dead Rising 3 being good recent examples but with RE there's obviously not contract or agreement between developer and HW manufacture. I find it odd.

Anyway if it is that easy to port to Vita then maybe it'll get more games because of that? Success breeds success, I could just imagine Vita trickling along more than some expect.

Regarding bolded, this is historically true but that doesn't mean its a guarantee with the Wii U. It might not be a Virtual Boy but at the moment it can only dream of being a GCN. Recent software has shown that nothing is creating a big enough jump with a real lasting effect. If MK, SSB, SM3DW have all failed how do people expect Splatoon or Zelda to do anything going forward.
