It probably would have sold better on the DS, simply because for whatever reason, Monster Hunter always sells better on portables than on consoles. This parallels a certain other, suspiciously similar, series that shall remain nameless: perhaps that particular type of game simply works better as a portable game than as a console game.

Complexity is not depth. Machismo is not maturity. Obsession is not dedication. Tedium is not challenge. Support gaming: support the Wii.

What do I hate about modern gaming? I hate tedium replacing challenge, complexity replacing depth, and domination replacing entertainment. I hate the outsourcing of mechanics to physics textbooks, art direction to photocopiers, and story to cheap Hollywood screenwriters. I hate the confusion of obsession with dedication, style with substance, new with gimmicky, old with obsolete, new with evolutionary, and old with time-tested.
There is much to hate about modern gaming. That is why I support the Wii.

I don't think it would have. Besides, consoles seem to need an MH anyways, even though they don't sell as much as the PSP ones.

Leatherhat on July 6th, 2012 3pm. Vita sales:"3 mil for COD 2 mil for AC. Maybe more. " thehusbo on July 6th, 2012 5pm. Vita sales:"5 mil for COD 2.2 mil for AC."

Don't forget it would be selling more if Capcom made online playing free like on PSP.

No I believe it wouldn't have sold more. The game wouldn't work as well on the DS hardware and it'd have far more competition then on the psp.

@ Star

But Ad-Hoc Party is a free download in Japan, so you technically can.

"We'll toss the dice however they fall,
And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."
