Who should Capcom give Monster Hunter to next gen?

Well maybe if it had Monster Hunter it would have...

Is that very plausable though? One single game would be enough to turn the fortune around for the Vita? I think not, it took the combination of two games to turn the 3DS around - both selling way better than any MH game

It's not implausible. The 3DS sold more, but a part of that is because it had Monster Hunter. If that was on Vita instead then the Vita would definitely have sold more and the 3DS less. That alone may not have made a huge difference by itself but it may well have resulted in other games that were 3DS exclusive appearing on Vita as well.

Regardless, the point is that Capcom never just got lucky or anything that they released it on the better selling console, they are part of the reason it was the higher selling console in the first place.

I agree that the Vita would have sold better, but it would never have outsold the 3DS. And having MH as an exclusive wouldnt have improved the sales in the West all that much. All in all, Capcom made the right decision
