Why does Vita have so much, but Nintendo so little. Plus the PS3 is owning at 9/20 spots....

Historically, there are 2 factors.
1. COMG is more popular with Sony fans.
2. Nintendo gamers are not as prone to pre-ordering as are Sony fans.

Yea, but I've never seen Nintendo at such a deficit. Only 3 games on the list, last year 3DS was outnumbering Vita by quite a bit. I remember people were even joking about not seeing another Vita game again after God Eater 2.
Biggest Issue IMO is the inability to pre-order Nintendo games over 3 months in advance. I can pre-order Bayonetta 2 (probably), why can't the Japanese?

You're thinking of the actual sales chart which was showing almost totally Nintendo in the top 10 at one point. But even when the 3DS would dominate the sales chart, the COMG pre-order charts would still be in Sony's favor.
Go back to the beginning of this thread. You'll probably not find anything greater than Nintendo having 7 out of 20 slots. Not even when Nintendo owned the entire top 10 in actual sales.
You also touched on antoehr issue. For some reason, Nintendo games are not offered for pre-order as early as Sony titles are. I don't know if that is a COMG decision or Nintendo decision though.

There was a lot of Nintendo presence last fall with Monster Hunter, Pokemon and Zelda. Those games raped the charts, and there were a few other big hitters releasing at the time which filled the chart blue (Attack on Titan, PDZ, etc).
Maybe I'm just annoyed because there is no "big" 3DS game on the top of the charts now. Since last June, a 3DS game always ranked on top. With Dragon Quest Monster 2 out, and Bravely Second a long way away, where is Nintendo?
lol, I dunno, maybe I'm just whining. Just bought my 3DS last fall, and I'm craving more JRPG's. Usually it takes up to a year for a JRPG to localize, and if Japan has nothing, then what do we get here out west?
