I don't think this rumor is accurate. It doesn't make financial sense to release it on the Vita right now, when it only has sold around one million units, compared to the 3DS's 10 million. If they do port it to it, it will probably just be a straight 3DS port with barely any graphical improvements. I don't think this will help the Vita much though, since its not an exclusive, so most people will get the 3DS version.

 

Think, you really believe its not logical when you know that many gamer will buy a Vita for the game ? And just with the one million, i can say without a doubt that the game could easily sells more than 500k.

 

ITs enough to bring Capcom

Many gamers would buy a Vita for it, if it was a Vita exclusive. But if someone owns a 3DS or their friends own a 3DS, they are going to get the 3DS version. It might push some units, but not a significant amount.

By that logic, square enix shouldn't release final fantasy on the xbox, because it doesn't sell well

exactly! People on this site can be such hypocrites, its a cringe to be on here sometimes.

Welcome to the world of gamers, where arguments change on the fly when it suits the agenda.

Gamers have an agenda? I thought we were just nerds having fun in an internet forum, you know, gaming, having fun... 

You must not have been around these parts long.

I wish it was how you just described.



iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.

Currently playing:

Final Fantasy VI (iOS), Final Fantasy: Record Keeper (iOS) & Dragon Quest V (iOS)     

    

Got a retro room? Post it here!

why waist development costs on Vita when they can get all the fans on 3DS and earn more?

The same reason why 3rd parties wasted development costs on the wii for the games that sold magnitudes more on thePS360, same reason Ubisoft releases just dance for multiple systems even though the Wii sells more?

I'm not sure you can talk.  There are vital differences between a market split 50/50 and a market split 90/10. Dont go blaming other people when you cant see that.

Predictions that the game would sell 400-500k on the Vita, while beeing available on the 3DS are very optimistic.

um the japanese market, where games like final fantasy and monster hunter tend to sell the best (in terms of individual regions) there is a 90 /10 split between sony and microsoft, or close to it.

well the Wii is cheaper to develop for while it is more expensive to develop for the Vita than 3DS

so In Wiis case you go down not up with development costs so they can still make good profit even if games didn't sell as much. the user base of the Vita is just to tiny

FF didnt get ported to the Xbox because of the Japanese market. Are you sugesting that they should port MH for the Vita because of the Vita western market? The system is doing bad everywhere and the game isnt a soaring sucess in the west.

Not true; COD3, Modern Warfare, Black Ops, and World at War all sold over a million on Wii. Even MW3 sold over 500k.

lol I was talking about Japan only... I can't see a MH4 release on Vita outside Japan.

Honestly, I didn't even think they released COD on Wii in Japan, COD doesn't even do well on PS360 there.

Where does it say its more expensive to develop for the vita than the 3DS?  I need links please!

And Capcom created its MT Framework for mobile to work across the 3DS and Vita, where would the higher cost come from?  And how big do you think a handheld game's budget is, im sure its less than the wii to develop for.

There is no mention of what capcom is using for the game but im sure its MT.
