damage control anyone? I don't think i've missed anything as its plain to see. Impossible for game to do similar sales on the vita unless it has a 100% + attach rate. Don't know how i can make it any clearer. It's impossible to spin this into anything other than devastating for the vita and very good for the 3ds




Reading problems anyone?
It's impossible that Monster Hunter could move Vitas, even though it moved 3DSes (which hardly need help)? It's impossible that the presence of a Monster Hunter would have given other publishers more confidence in the Vita's future as a platform, resulting in more software support, resulting in more systems sold?
IMPOSSIBLE IS NOTHING.

There's a reason why Capcom moved Monster hunter from playstation portable series to ds series and right now i'd say that this decision has been vindicted and that Capcom are delighted by it. Anything else is conjecture and at best hypothetical.

In my opinion the N64 was not just the best console of the 5th gen but, to this day the best console ever created!

Well, that's not what this thread is about, Mr. Confrontational!

What people seem to be missing is that Capcom wanted growth.

What Capcom wants is multiple markets for MonHun.  If they just wanted straight up sales, MH4 would have been PSP/PSV, which would probably have sold over 2M.

MH4 is going to be ported, it's going to get "new" versions on other consoles, and the next MonHun will probably be on a different device.  It might even be on smart phones first.

So you disregarded my entire point and didn´t adress any of it

Wasn't your point that Capcom wanted the 3DS market?  If not, then I'm confused.

I doubt MH4 sold more than 5.7M.


He was obviously talking about the japanese install base

...oh and btw. are you happy with the "decline" of the franchise ?


Last I checked, the numbers aren't anywhere close to the PSP ones (and those were ports too).



MH4 selling much better than MHP3 though so its all good

You might want to check the definition of "much". And "better".

If that is not what this thread is about, then explain the title.

Anyone who thinks that Monster Hunter wouldn't have sold roughly as well on the Vita is completely misunderstanding Japan and the Monster Hunter franchise. The Vita hardware curve would have began moving upward from the moment the game was announced. The Japanese would probably buy a Vita just for Monster Hunter, to be honest, but Monster Hunter PLUS Toukiden, Soul Sacrifice, and God Eater 2?

Yeah, it would have sold just as well.



it would have sold very well and vita sales would of been over 2mil, but it wouldn't had sold close to wat it has on 3ds. if vita had ex 3mil then it would need over 60% attach ratio just to get close... Also dont forget on eShop its the 3rd best selling game of all time on its 3rd day, sales are proving its the best MH sold within 2days of release even higher than MHP3!!!

Ahem.

There's also the possibility of continuing to have two "series" and doing a Monster Hunter Portable 4th. If Sony were smart they'd $trongly encourage Capcom to do such a thing.

I'm expecting Lost Planet 4 to be announced as a smart phone game.  Which, actually, would be fine with me.

Anyway, I'm surprised at how many people think that Capcom and MonHun have "switched" over to Nintendo.  I think those people might be in for a surprise later.
