Really interesting post from hiska-san.  so builders and heroes have the same opening but builders more popular on vita and heroes more popular on ps4. Both games have had good openings. 

 

"Fun thing:

[PSV] Dragon Quest Builders: Alefgard o Fukkatsu Niseyo # (Square Enix) {2016.01.28} (¥5.980) - 178.016 / NEW (47,8%)
[PS4] Dragon Quest Builders: Alefgard o Fukkatsu Niseyo (Square Enix) {2016.01.28} (¥7.800) - 141.369 / NEW (37,9%)
[PS3] Dragon Quest Builders: Alefgard o Fukkatsu Niseyo (Square Enix) {2016.01.28} (¥6.800) - 53.154 / NEW (14,3%)
Total Sales: 372.539 

[PS4] Dragon Quest Heroes II: The Twin Kings and Prophecy's End (Square Enix) {2016.05.27} (¥7.800) - 184.820 / NEW (49,4%)
[PSV] Dragon Quest Heroes II: The Twin Kings and Prophecy's End (Square Enix) {2016.05.27} (¥6.800) - 120.664 / NEW (32,3%)
[PS3] Dragon Quest Heroes II: The Twin Kings and Prophecy's End (Square Enix) {2016.05.27} (¥6.800) - 68.376 / NEW (18,3%)
Total Sales: 373.860

Both games sold practically the same, but Builders had a better attach rate on handheld (almost half of the sales were on Vita). On the other side, Heroes II has better attach rate for the PS3 and the PS4 version".

In Japan, Vita is a lot more casual then PS4 due to Minecraft. While the hardcore western games sell nicely on PS4 compared to Vita. In the rest of world it is pretty much opposite.
