So this is something I'm curious about. When the Vita came it out it bombed. It bombed pretty hard. Nobody was developing for it outside of a couple exclusives from Sony released each year. In Japan every 3rd party was flocking to 3DS in the beginning. Games were getting announced for that platform left and right. And then on a dime, everything changed. For some reason the Vita started to get a ton of Japanese support. To the point where it was getting most of the mid-tier and small-tier releases. Sure the major franchises like Dragon Quest and Monster Hunter stayed on 3DS but what about everything else? Toukiden, God Eater, Demon Gaze, Hatsune Miku, Persona 4, etc. all saw releases on Vita. Why not just put everything on 3DS? That's what they did with the PS2. Nobody was clamoring to put games on the GCN. It got to the point where the Vita actually managed to build a respectable install base in Japan and continues to get regular releases. 

So what happened? Was it just good old Sony loyalty? Japanese pubs still mad about Nintendo's scummy tactics in the 80s and 90s and now they're getting some revenge? 



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!
