3DS cannot do such open World 3D game with playable frame rates and will look ugly.

i think you missed the point of that quote. If i understood right, he is saying that there is a large gap in quality between the two games so while they are both "beat em ups by Atlus", they aren't comparable and thus saying "DC sold better than CoP" doesn't really hold any weight in comparing sales on the two consoles. He isn't saying anything about how one game would do on another console.

Hope i helped clear things up

To add to that, comparing SMTIV and Persona 4 also isn't really fair as the Persona series is infinitely more popular than mainline SMT games and even still, it is quite likely that SMTIV will end up outselling P4

was just joking about the port-begging part

@bolded: you're just gonna have to suck it up and buy a Vita, I think every gamer wishes to have a game that is not viable on their console of voice but that's what makes them and the console(s) stand out...though the Vita might not be enticing to you and it's games are not selling like hotcakes, but it's the games themselves that are doing what they are suppose to; enticing you to buy them and the provided console.

besides having a bigger audience doesn't equal success, just look at the Wii; many devs tried to get a crack at that now 100M user base and few actually did

35m to 6m userbase so you'd have expected it to already outsell P4 (which has overperformed by the devs own expectations, just like many other Vita titles).

I wonder if SMTIV would have sold better on Vita :p

THANK YOU SOOOOOO MUCH FOR CLEARING THAT UP!!!!  Exactly what my whole point was!!!  It's already shown that for some odd reason despite the Vita floundering in sales it consistently gets games with higher production value than Nintendo's blockbuster handheld.  It demented in the fact that they should develop games for both systems with the same production value.  The investment put in by 3rd party on Nintendo handheld is a joke which reflects the fans reaction  to products that are second best!!!

you obviously never had the Wii...if you did you would notice the gianormous pile of crap/shovelware that 3rd party had put on the system!!!  Even Nintendo was guilty with adding shovelware to the system in the form of Wii Music!!!*shudders*

regarding the Vita...between my LG Nexus 4...Samsung Galaxy Tab...and my 3DS, I don't think I have room for the Vita in my life actually!!! My sister-in law (who works for Nvidia...I live in BayArea) just had me try the N-Shield for a few months and unfortunately don't have time and space for.  Obviously, the people have chosen their handheld of choice to go along with their smart devices.  I hope companies see that (even Sony admits it) Vita's future is bleak and should begin downporting these games to the 3DS or smart devices!!!

Persona 4, Tearaway or Sly Cooper

Yups...add to that Muramasa and all those JRPG's like Tales of Innocence R, Demon Gaze, Tales of Hearts R, etc... that are sure to find an audience with the 40mil 3DS owners out there!!!

There was also a lot of awesome software which couldn't even crack 100k.

It devestated me, I still think Wii controls have a hell of a lot of potential. Dead Space Extraction was great, sold pants. Silent Hill: Shattered Memories was possibly the best Silent Hill game there has been. You can say the same about a lot of other Wii games. Wasn't all Wii owners faults though. Developers wrote the Wii off, got caught off guard with how successful it was and had only committed the shovelware you refer to for the console.

By the time they realised it was a viable format, they needed time to make decent games for it (2+ years) leading to a massive drought. By the time the quality 3rd party releases finally hit the console, the userbase was already bitter/cynical over the shovelware.

That's a pretty good statement. I can't really say how its sales would differ from being on the other platform. There's pros/cons to argue either.
