No no no. The Vita's fate is as a PS4 streaming device with a few niche titles thrown in. I forgot that I was wearing Nintendo so I see how my post got misinterpreted. I'll edit it.

Hey guess what, this game came out over a year before the Vita was even launched in Japan.

So no, it shouldn't have been a Vita exclusive, that would've made no sense at all.

Well I do think the Vita is missing some killer jrpg's right now, I don't think Ni No Kuni on Vita would have been the best move for the game. It sold quite well in the States in such a short time, had it been on the Vita, it definitely wouldn't have gotten the audience the game clearly deserves. I really hope some big titles hit the Vita to continue the legs, but please don't go the VC route with Ni No Kuni. The wounds are still sensitive.

Eventually a third party should take the dive and go all in on a Vita game. Yeah there aren't many of them but there aren't going to be until a big game is there. Why not make YOUR game the one people get when get a Vita? GAMES increase the install base yet everyone is afraid to make games for it because of the install base. It's a treacherous cycle and I don't see how any platform will get off the ground with this kind of attitude from 3rd parties.

But how would it help Vita in US and Europe? Ni no Kuni sold good there but to me it seems it's not a system-seller. 

I can't get it why Sony is pumping out so many exclusive games on PS3 this year, while Vita only has 3 noteworthy games coming (Soul Sacrifice, KZ, Tearaway). Ni No Kuni, Puppeteer, even GoW: Ascension would all be better on Vita. There is just no point in supporting PS3 so hard this late in its lifecycle, especially when Vita is struggling the way it is.

Nope, not at all. The game was completed and released for the PS3 before the Vita was released! It wouldn't make sense for L5 to scrap all the work they put into the game and to delay it for a brand new untested device.

The game even had it's own special edition PS3 console.

Vita exclusive nah. Maybe down the line with a future installment after PS3 fans have become familiar with the series, but this one on PS3 was the best move. If anything maybe remote play to let people get the feel of Ni No Kuni on Vita. People have used custom firmware updates to play it on Vita and claim it is a much better experience there than on PS3.

No, better not Vita exclusive. I hope for a Sequel, sales on the vita would be too low if it was exclusive.

I would actually buy it if it was in Vita. I just don't like these sorts of games on Home systems
