I think people need a reality check.

PlayStation Vita Japan Sales - 1,471,044

Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate 3DS JP Sales - 1,863,668

Numbers speak louder than words.

Absolutely! That's 1,471,044 additional potential costumers, they should start working on it at once.


They ignored a JP userbase of 30 Million last generation. A userbase of less than 1.5 Million is hardly enticing when youre already working with a userbase of over 10 Million.

I just dont understand the logic capcom has. They obviously do not have anything against sony, other wise RE: R wouldnt be coming to the ps3. I just do not understand why port it to ps3, but not vita even though the specs are pretty much almost the same. Oh well though, more room for games like SS and God Eater to shine!

I'm sure when the vita hits 30 million install base they will get a MH game.

I'm confused. People on these forums have been blasting Nintendo is doomed and should switch to software only. That Nintendo needs to do something to keep third parties making games for their systems and to lock up key titles as exclusives. Mind you these comments range from nintendrones to sonytrolls. Now when Nintendo goes out and makes a huge ay such as lock up monster hunter for their 3ds or pay to develop and publish bayonetta 2 Sony and Microsoft fans go bonkers. O crapcom this crapcom that... What if there was only a vita version? It wouldn't be crapcom anymore because it would benifit sony's platform. You people are so contradicting its just ridiculous. Grow up and deal with it. You laugh every time Nintendo doesn't get a port of an upcoming game yet cry for this please. Me personally I'm glad vita won't get this title even if it's a delayed release.

Instead of complaining about exclusivity why not just buy a 3ds and mh4 and play the game you are so upset about?

There are more than enough games to justify a 140$ few 3ds or 180$ for the XL. 

The major point of discussion here is not whether Ninty did a great job moneyhatting Capcom (I appluad them for that), but whether they are not developing a psvita mh game, porting an already made game or even making a spin off (ok that's just my point) for the vita to make more money. Based on their past decisions, the small install base of vita is not a compelling argument, as shown by games on WiiU and 360. Based on the facts we have it's much more likely that they have a deal and are not allowed to release a mh game on psvita. That's all.

@bolded

I'm sorry, but I find this a terrible argument. Following this logic, one should not complain about the lack of 3rd party  games on wiiu and just get a ps3 super slim. It costs less than a wiiu and has a much better library.


I'm sorry how is purchasing a certain device to play a game that you want to play a bad thing?  Another thing if I want to play gta4 can I do it on my wii u? Nope! so I'm forced to buy either a play station or an Xbox360. FYI I did purchase a ps3 for god of war and batman. 

The reason this argument pisses people off is because of how certain Sony fans go over board for one game. I mean really people calling them crapcom, or claiming they will boycott all future capcom games until a MH4 is released on vita. This type of attitude is just silly. While we are at it lets call this what it really is. Vita install base sucks donkey ass and a mh game would help the vita Immensely at least in Japan and that's the real reason people are crying. They don't like seeing their companies device flounder especially to a childish Nintendo device.

i am going to go with a guess that the install base is not nearly big enough to develope for the psvita. At the rate that 3ds is selling in japan they know they can reach out to more people. could change, no idea.



 

WII U // PC // 3ds XL // VITA

why this game is such a hit? some dudes killing some monsters , does this sell well in europe and amurica ?


I really like how all of a sudden alot of people are puzzled as to why people think MH is a good game.

And all of a sudden a game(s) I've never heard about before, GodEater and some other game I can't remember, are 'better than MH anyways, so who cares'.

Sour grapes and all that.

Yeah, cuz clearly it's impossibel for people to actually likle GodEater over MH. Sour grapes is the only explanation.


Yes, that is totally what i said.

Good for you


It's okay. Don't be ashamed of your bad reading comprehension.

Happens to the best of us.

If you're referring to DS, I hardly think MH would have been technically possible on that system.

most people are like "I ain't buying a vita until MH is released on it!, FUCK CRAPCOM/NINTENDO!!1" well , if you like MH so much then why not buy a 3DS instead? , I really don't know how people think sometimes, who cares about brand names, you're not buying a cult following or stocks of a company, you're buying games to enjoy them.

It's getting pretty obvious that Capcom simply doesn't like the Vita. It's not just Monster Hunter - they don't support the system at all. If I liked any Capcom franchises besides Breath of Fire (which is dead anyway), I would be pretty pissed as well.

Oh... and to all the gloating Nintendo fans: I hope you remember your cockiness the next time the WiiU gets shafted by a major third-party developer.

Given that RE:R comes out next month for Wii U, it would have had to been in production well before the Wii U's sales bottomed out. If the Wii U sales don't pick up by the end of the year. We'll be having the exact same discussion about the lack of Wii U support from Japanese developers this time next year.
