Maybe because there's less competition on Vita they expect it to be THE game in Spring 2013 and therefore sell more than on a 3DS that's packed with games (in Japan at least). Especially it being a remake, it could attract less attention from the satisfied 3DS crowd, whereas it will get loads from Vita users. Plus maybe it's more of a PlayStation franchise.

Don't know, just some theories. They must have done some market research.

Hmm, maybe because a lot of 3DS users (sold 260k on DS) already played that game less than 4 years ago in japan?


Or maybe because Vita in not an inviable platform for games? That one too, you know.

Im gonna be the guy to say it: Sony has begun moneyhatting devs

Nice seeing vita getting some support it so strongly need and so fuckingly deserved.

Marvelous is also putting their games at Vita. Maybe their games could do better on Vita than on 3DS.

Well it's good to know the game is releasing on some powerful hardware almost on par with 360..

As far as I know, the original version of these tales of games are DS games, so if they decide to make a new version extended it's not really surprising to make it on another system from another company.
Kind of like Tales of Graces, originally for Wii and then was ported (and enhanced) to PS3

(1) so current Vita owners never had DS?

(2) funny you'd say that http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=4841732

3rd party games can sell on Nintendo consoles/handhelds, it's just that they can sell SO much more on a Sony one. That's basically the reason. Sony has no Japanese-style games that are competing with Japanese publishers. Nintendo does.

Good point! They might be fearing Monster Hunter 4.
