If the rumored MH4 port comes to Vita, and I think there's a good chance it will, the Vita very well might outsell Wii U lifetime. Look what MH did for the PSP.



not really, Maybe MH5, 3DS will probably sell a whole lot this year, and there wont be a vita release of mh4 this year which will hurt the chance of a huge hardware boost. Jus being realistic! The thing that will push vita alot imo, is a GTA and GoW thats *not have* a ps3 or ps4 copy!

Difference is it won't have that exclusivity. Will you go out and spend $300 for the PSVita version, or just $50 for the 3DS version? 



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

Didn't some notable multiplat between the two last year sell significantly more on Vita despite the lower install base?

None of those rumors have any form of legitimacy. The latest rumor we got was from a magazine that made rumors up like DQ IX for the PSP.

Can you really see Capcom, the guys who ported RE4 to every system under the sun, MH3 Portable to the PS3, and MH3G to Wii U, passing up the chance to grab ome extra sales with a cheap and easy port of MH4 to Vita?



your correct on the fact vita will get one also (mh4) but you have to see that since its not a simultaneous release, it'll hurt it later on! Lets say MH4 will have 4mil Sales if it came out for both handhelds. 3DS would have 2.8mil of it and vita have 1.2mil by years end, since its only coming to 3DS instead of 2.8mil now it'll get lots of wat vita would have so lets say 3.5mil! Nw Vita gets theres in spring 2014. They wont have that potential 1.5-2mil sales but instead 750k-1mil cuz of time exclusive

I don't recall, bar maybe Rayman Origins (though this isn't a fair comparison as the 3DS version was awful and it was already on most systems). 

I'm not saying it won't sell well; I'm just saying the effect of a MH4 wouldn't have anywhere near the same effect as it did for the PSP, and it certainly wouldn't save the Vita in Japan when it's up against the 3DS.

 

Coincidentally, where are this week's numbers?

Well they did pass on the easy port of Revelations to the Vita.

If Vita outsells Wii U I think the world would implode. Imagine two falcon punches colliding. 



It's just that simple.

Hardware numbers for Japan (Media Create Jan 21 - Jan 27)

PlatformThis weekYTD
3DSLL 48,226 311,802
3DS 26,898 217,097
PS3 18,322 125,362
Wii U 13,746 118,198
PSP 12,897 100,182
PS Vita 9,748 63,181
Wii 2,093 11,797
XB360 611 4,131

PS3 still above Wii U, PSP still above PS Vita, 3DS dominates. More of the same I suppose.

Were these numbers already out? I'm not sure...

Nah, it was some Japanese game I'm not familiar with, I remember it being held up  proof that the Vita could compete in third party sales.
