It would sell at least 3-5 million in Japan. It's a system seller.

In addition GE2, SS, FW, Toukiden prove there is already a large market for that style of content from current owners as well.


No way at Least... It needs a much bigger userbase and 3DS has a huge userbase on it already. Most Vita MH it would sell now is 2.5mil imo

I expect MH to do MH numbers.  It's a proven system seller so it could easily grow Vita's userbase.

Nobody said it wouldn't, and its a proven system seller but it wont sell 3-5mil on a userbase of 5-8mil. NSMBU for example can sell 10mil, but it wont if WiiU hits 12mil-15mil lifetime

1mil by itself is huge! What are the best selling vita games in japan? (also numbers if you kno!)


I think it's God Eater 2 that may have passed 1 million in Japan. It sold 630k in its first 6 weeks.

A Monster Hunter would be huge for the Vita and unlike the dominating 3DS it really needs a title of this caliber.

Unfortunately it has no Pokémon, Mario or Animal Crossing and Sony is not in a financial situation where it can afford to invest heavily in huge first party titles other than those coming to PS4.

If it only had that Monster Hunter, Kingdom Hearts, MGS, GTA, Gran Turismo, GoW, Daxter etc. Let's hope that Freedom Wars, Digimon Story, Minecraft and Vita Pets can help it a little.


Freedom Wars should be huge. That said GE2 has about 630k sales retail now (justed checked) and another 30k-60k Digital to date. (PSP sales are in it as well so Vita hs about 450k currently


My bad. Didn't get that the 630k was combined for Vita and PSP.

I hope that Freedom Wars will do good as well but it's really unfortunate that Sony can't afford to make a Vita GT and GoW or pay Rockstar to make a GTA. It would do wonders in the west despite of the inevitable decrease caused by the arrival of "free" smartphone games.

People are actually being serious when they say it could sell over 3 Million?

Wow, and I thought I was being a little outlandish with no more than 2 Million.

3DS didn't have the Monster Hunter userbase until Monster Hunter was announced ;)

Fair point, I still think 3mil is too high though!

BTW wat happened to that vita MH game? (frontier)

There are about .5 to 1 million people currently on the Vita whom would be interested given the sales of it's clones.  MH raised 3DS hardware  to about 300K which is near launch level.  We are talking about the one region in which Vita is doing ok and a game that is rather proven to move systems there.  It would increase the userbase of Vita to something that could support it's sales.

Think it's out this year? But given it's pricing structure I don't expect it doing anything. Yeah I agree that 3m is too high. It'd need to be a completely exclusive and amazing MH game to have a shot at a figure like that.

0. It's not exclusive to the Vita, it's not going to be exclusive to the Vita, it's a nonsense speculatory question that will never be known.
