That doesn't make any sense. Monster Hunter is primarily a japanese franchise and Japan is vita's best market. The reason vita is performing poorly is the western markets and Monster Hunter exclusivity wouldn't make any difference.

If Vita was successful in Japan, there would at least be a glimmer of hope that there might be another Sony handheld. The lack of Monster Hunter stifled its growth tremendously.

It was a heavy hit, yes. I do not believe it would've made a significant difference in the end though. The dedicated handheld market has massively shrunk in the recent years. And the 3ds simply had a much, much, much more appealing games on it. And as it stands there are very few people that would've bought a vita as a second console along with their 3ds.
