Will honestly have easily outsold Vita by May. Also it's probably easier to port the game between the consoles than to Vita itself.
Lol, would kind of be impossible to make that statement because its already designed from the ground up to be used with a second screen touch interface.

Thinks buying more servers can fix a bad patch
Its part of the "Capcom Five" which has quite a history of its own.
They didn't just announce the port, but did it 2 months before it got released on the GC back then.
Ha, then it got ported to virtually every other device known to man. Besides a Sony handheld of course.
It'd be better than nothing, which is what the Vita is kind of facing right now.
perfection.
I remember that, not only that, it was a port with some extras too. The GC version still sold well enough but talk about sabotaging your own product.

Yeah, one was going to be a near launch game too (MHP3rd HD maybe?). The other was probably E.X.Troopers.
Lately WiiU sell shitty on japan too.
Shinji Mikami was fed up with PS2's architecture and went to Nintendo and M$ looking for a new home for Resident Evil. M$ Japan's representative wasn't convincing enough so Mikami stuck with Nintendo.

Not as shitty as Vita though, which is sort of the point.
Way to sabotage your own sales,anyways let's just stick to RE:Rev.

But vita 3rd party titles sell more than wii u's(ask madden, fifa and soon to be need for speed).
Doesn't mean 3rd party games will sell better and lol wat? Both vita and 3ds have a arm CPU and run MT framework mobile.
What's the point? WiiU sells bad too, end of the story. If not will coming out on psvita there isn't absolutely more reason to port on Wii U just because sell slightly less badly, what the hell of logic is that? Jeez sometimes some posts are really absurd.

If even Capcom won't touch it, it must be bad.

But they're touching the Wii U, so that argument is invalid. Especially in Japan, where the shift is greatly towards handheld and mobile over home consoles.
Wii U isn't going to consistently tank like the vita has.
The Vita will be fine when a few things happen:
More games
Cheaper price
Orbis functionality
Jailbronken 
Why are people trying to drag the WiiU down that same hole as Vita in this situation. The Vita has been out for a year and sold like shit. The WiiU has only been out for 3 months. Even if it's not doing so hot now it can still be saved just like Nintendo saved the 3DS. Even Sony has abandoned the Vita. Capcom doesn't want to throw money at a ship that already sank but investing in a WiiU port has potential for immediate sales and future sales.

Wii U will be doing vita numbers soon and Vita's third party games sell more than wii u's.
Problem is that the system actually has noticeable games on the horizon. Staying at Vita levels consistently isn't feasible.
Think about it, why would they invest in a platform they believe to be akin to the vita?
Fixed.
Vita is doing very bad (both HW and SW) everywhere.

The Wii U at least has some semblance of a future that isn't occupied by vaporware and empty promises.

Nintendo people stereotypically don't buy third party games though (or at least not outside Japan). The people who buy a wii u for Mario isn't going to be interested in resident evil. Higher consoles sales does not mean higher third party sales (ps3/360 vs wii should have taught you that).

Afaik of the multiplatform games on both, Sonic Racing did better in Wii U, EA Sports ports did better on Vita. Pretty expected.
Besides which if we're talking about this specific 3rd party, MH3U on WiiU is doing pretty well while UMVC3 and SFXT Vita megaflopped.
And yet the system is getting the port. Please explain why.
Sonic Racing on Vita also has phenomenal IQ and runs well post patch ..

Yup, pretty much expected. I'd hate to bring up the Nintendo family friendly stereotype but it definitely applies here. There is a reason why sonic in general sells more on Nintendo consoles while other games sell more on other consoles. Fanbase definitely does matter imo and I would argue that the 3ds/wii u fanbase does not care about a game like resident evil(which is why it has/will flop on both platforms). I think the vita fanbase would be more interested in resident evil than the 3ds/wii u fanbase. I also think games like little big planet would do better on 3ds/wii u.
Nintendo and Capcom's fantastic relationship.

Nintendo owns much more powerful IP and will be supporting Wii U better than Sony can afford to support PSV since they have their hands full with the nearing PS4 launch. After Pokemon 3DS will reach relative market maturity meaning Nintendo can focus more on Wii U.
Doesn't mean Wii U will receive great 3rd party support, mind you.
Also just enjoy PSV for what it is, not what it could have been. The writing was on the wall.
You don't know what you're talking about. MT Frame Mobile is made to easily port games to vita and 3DS.
Because they don't want to burn bridges with Sony in the hopes that one day they'll be getting money bags from them, too.
but still, RE 4 Wii (late port of a game that almost everyone and theyr pets played) was a million seller, a third party game can sell well if said game turns to be good, I know that I can double dip on the game (already ahve the 3DS version) if they add pointer controls to the Wii U version because RE4 wii controlls where Godlike

My guess is that probably there must exist some sort of portable exclusivity deal in place.
A direct port using MT Framework Mobile would be just too easy. They wouldn't even need to add animations or update textures like they do with the HD ports.
So easy that even if they released it as PSN exclusive it would still probably be financially worthwhile. This way they're just leaving money on the table, and Capcom likes money.

I've honestly come close to buying a Vita a couple of times. News like just confirms to me that I shouldn't bother.
How can Sony allow that platform to die.

Well, the Sonic fanbase is well concentrated on Nintendo systems thanks to Sonic Team going all in on GC/GBA after Sega left hardware. Meanwhile EA's pretty much always screwed Nintendo on their sports ports in some way.
I'd also say it's no coincidence that with both Sonic Racing and EA Sports ports, the last version released sold worst. Sonic will likely reverse that with 3DS/iOS though.
The problem with your argument about RE however is that series has a relatively strong sales history on Nintendo consoles. It's less about "family friendly" vs "mature" and more about simply where the fans are. And looking at how "mature" Vita games have sold in general, this sort of argument doesn't even really support that platform in the first place.
I am seeing something like that myself, since the markdown was a Sony directive, I can only guess that things have returned to normal.
I think that this has been the main problem with Sony Corp. as of late. They seem to want to "Stay the course" but I don't think that doing so will lead them anywhere at this point. The Vita's prospects have gotten so bad that properties like Presona 4 Golden and Hatsune Miku: Project Diva f have only be able to sustain Vita hardware sale for about a week before going back to tanking. And Tanking HARD.
On this side of the Pacific, the fact that Sony put in a lot with CoD and assassin's creed when neither game turned out to be a system seller that they wanted them to be speaks volumes.
It has, so technical difficultly is not really the issue here. I think that Capcom's biggest worry is a "Chicken and Egg" problem... they can't really afford to port the game onto a platform that is not sustainable, but the Vita need games like RE:R to at least try to be sustainable.
But then numbers are simply not there for the Vita to a least make the effort. For Sony, this is a BIG issue that I have yet to see management talk about.
This is true, but it's mostly on a lack of software.... something that it seem Nintendo is putting an effort into rectifying if the last Nintendo Direct says anything.
As I said before... Nintendo has been reacting to issue that befall it's platforms in the market. Something that is rather different from the company.

not fit for Vita? Fuck you.
You can make it on a tiny screen for 3DS and make it HD for PS3 and 360.
I fail to see their point still.

It's more like that people who buy third party are the one that don't buy Nintendo.
yeah i remember when all Sony consoles got all the games too...those days are over it seems....get over with it...
