5 points for Toukiden 2 ps4 and 6 points for Persona ps4. Very good. Sword Art for the vita showing some good early signs.
And besteria gets another day at the top! Go besteria!

Well, Toukiden demo worked a bit then I guess... just on the wrong console ;(

Personally I'd like the ps4 to put up a good showing which it seems to be doing. I wouldn't ask for better than the vita version just a significant slice so the ps4 keeps getting vita ports.

I don't think the IP can get the kinds of numbers it'll need to survive from PS4. Maybe Toukiden 2 will prove me wrong but so far PS4 has managed to show absolutely no market for hunting games, presumably due to ad-hoc play while commuting being the main attraction of such games.
Besides that, the previous PS4 demo already showed the game ran fine. The new demo needed to prove the Vita version had more optimization, but it looks like Omega Force are back into "let's shit it out of the door" mode like they did with Attack on Titan, rather than the care they put in to Dragon Quest Heroes 2.

Hopefully not because as you say DQH2 showed vita devs how it should be done.
I'd disagree about there being no hunting game market. I'd class that as the same sized market as DQ series on ps4.
Say capcom released a monster hunter heroes, monster hunter builders and a much upgraded MH5 port built for the ps4 I think they'd do similar numbers to the existing dragon quest games on ps4.

People are busy playing Pokemon Go, no time to make preorders :p

I don't understand this comparison. Spinoffs are a different kettle of fish than main games - I'm sure DQ11 will do alright because RPG's are becoming abundant on PS4 (although they have the 3DS version to fall back on). That doesn't mean a Monster Hunter mainline game would as well.
Besides, this is what I'm talking about:
13./00. [PS4] Toukiden: Kiwami (Koei Tecmo) {2015.04.23} (¥7.344) - 6.103 / NEW
03./00. [PS4] God Eater 2: Rage Burst (Bandai Namco Games) {2015.02.19} (¥7.171) - 37.824 / NEW
02./00. [PS4] God Eater: Resurrection (Bandai Namco Games) {2015.10.29} (¥6.663) - 25.700 / NEW
06./00. [PS4] God Eater: Resurrection - Crossplay Pack & Animation Vol.1 (Bandai Namco Games) {2015.10.29} (¥10.778) - 16.281 / NEW
Granted, Toukiden was a late port, but it doesn't look like a healthy market to me (42k opening week for the highest selling hunting game on the console so far).
I'm assuming Toukiden 2 on PS4 is going to put up similar numbers to GE2 on PS4, which is fine, but they're cratering the Vita version by making it open world and focusing all marketing on the PS4 version. And the handheld versions of the previous games sold very well: Toukiden Age of Demons shipped 470k in Japan/Asia on Vita/PSP while Kiwami shipped 200k.
So basically they're gambling on the west, which seems like an odd move to make when Kiwami under-performed on both Vita & PS4 (tweet has been deleted, it was Koei Tecmo Europe's manager that said this edit: nvm, found it here) and the Steam figures are pretty abysmal.
I can understand why they're doing this - Vita isn't going to be around forever and won't be getting a replacement, so they're trying to migrate the IP somewhere else. But I honestly feel they'd be better served making the most of the Vita audience while it's still around and then using these resources to make a different game that will appeal to console gamers (like they're doing with Nioh), rather than trying to make Toukiden something it's not.
