Well let me say it for you then!
"Vita's microscopic install base" |
Wich would turn gigantic with a Monster Hunter game.

Exactly. The vita version would outsell the 3ds version despite its 'microscopic install base'
|
no-but nintendo fears that the same could happenened with the wii vs the ps3.
In the beginning wii dominated the ps3 in any way but was buried in the end by the ps3 because of ps3's superior hardware.
They know that monster hunter on vita can create a momentum and people may abandon the 3ds in favour of the vita(they did the same with dragon quest though dragon quest sold best on ps2)

Right. That's totally what happened.
Yep. Remember how people abandoned the DS for PSP when it got MH?
You have a really delusional view on history and the reality of things.

OMG-how old are you.5 ?
The DS was the absolutely dominating handheld .Nintendo had a 100% monopol in handheld gaming and they have lost significant market share to the psp because of 2 reasons:monster hunter and hardware specs.Yes people started abandoning the DS because of the psp but the handheld market was growing at that time and guys like you won't realise this because of that but nintendo did.You can't expect that people will abandon a handheld company that has dominated the handhelds for decades but losing 1/3 of market is a very strong beginning.
A that time nintendo had one special selling point superior to the psp:the touch screen.This time there is no such special selling point:there was just:better software vs better hardware and the possibility to lose
Nintendo knew what happened when Square left Nintendo with anger because restrictive module policies that have ruined many companies in the 90ies.After Square abandoned them and ff7 was exclusivly released on psx nintendos market share dropped from 85% to sub 30% in the times of n64.The main reason for this shift was final fantasy.Nintendo is 100% aware of this.With monster hunter they just played the final fantasy game the opposite way .(take away the system seller and the system won't sell )
btw-you can see a similar thing happening with consoles.EA has abandoned Wii U while at the same time they are pushing their games for the xbox with some exclusiv deals.As result of this strategy you will see that the xbox1will outsell the wii u 3:1 within 3 years.
The situation can't be compared 1:1 with the 3ds/vita situation as Wii U has still some strong brands to be released but nintendo will lose lots of market share in the console market.
