If they were able to get MH on PS4, I wonder why they didn't do it for the Vita? 

 

Even saying that, The Vita could have gotten a new exclusive IP that should have exploded (Minecraft was "like" an exclusive to handhelds and it did sell over 1million) like how the 3DS got Yokai Watch, or the Wii U with Splatoon. 

 

Now that equation make sense! 

Nintendo got the exclusive deal instead of Sony. Yokai watch was also in development for playstation so if it had of had Yokai, monster Hunter and minecraft I think it would have sold 10m+

 

The bigger sales would have driven more support from other devs too. Basically after the psp disrupted Nintendo for the first time ever by providing competition in the handheld market they didn't want it to happen again and they shut down any chance the vita had. 

 

You have to say from a business point of view they played their cards right. 

Yokai Watch would have bombed if it was on the Vita.
