Why did Japanese publishers save the Vita?

I wouldn't say they "saved" the Vita, but they helped it a lot. If it wasn't for them, Vita would be selling like the 360 right now. I think they gave it a chance because it was the perfect platform to realize their niche games. Notice how big japanese games, like MH, FF, DQ, Yokai Watch, etc. never appeared on Vita.

360 numbers? This is impossible for a Japanese console! 

XB360 sold 1.7 million lifetime, and was a 3/4 k basis in the firsts year... is not impossible for a Japan console sell those numbers. I think some guys underestimate what was the XB360 in Japan... yes, it flopped hard, but not so hard like some people think. (not at the 200-300 of the XBO)

 

After that, i doubt PSV was selling at the XB360 level withouth third party support like LipeJJ said...
