I thought there was a slide from the last financial report having MH4 still at 2mln. Anyway, those are official projections, they cannot downplaying with investors just because.
Saw this on Playstation Lifestyle earlier today. How come the link to them won't work?

Weird. I wonder why?
A chance for MH to be multiplatform and potential to be the best selling vita game....
Are the Vita numbers that bad
Ehhh, not really. And SS is very different from MH. Have no idea about GE, though.

Nope. They removed the forecast because it was not a FY2013 game anymore
6 months or so vs less than 1 month and MH have long legs, so the new forecast should be higher.
Isn't the 3DS version rather similar to the PSP version, doesn't seem like there would be much benefit...no-online as well?
With soul sacrifice, GE2 and PSO2, doesn't seem like there would be much point of a port to Vita. Maybe a new one from the ground up down the line.
Well... 3DS is selling a lot, especially in Japan... and Nintendo is handling western releases...
I can imagine Capcom might put a Monster Hunter game out on Vita if they see Soul Sacrifice having success.
I think so, well 4 will have online thoughIsn't the 3DS version rather similar to the PSP version, doesn't seem like there would be much benefit...no-online as well?

In japan Mh3g has outsold the biggest vita titles about 10 to 1 and has vastly outsold vita hardware
Vita numbers aren't so bad that port wouldn't make sense. Persona 4 Golden sold very well and that was with a small userbase.
I think the main reason of MH port happening/not happening on Vita is depending on whatever deals Nintendo has made with Capcom concerning the games.
It looks like this forum is getting to you, ShockingAlberto.Oh shit, you're right. Here, let's make that post how it should be.
From the unveiling of the Vita it was pretty obvious the 3DS was going to dominate.
Ah okay thanks everyone.
Nintendo should fight to keep 4 exclusive for a decent while if it isn't already.
How did Monster Hunter become so ridiculously big in Japan anyway?
It seems more prevalent than even Call of Duty is in the West.
From the moment it was announced at no point did it look like the Vita would ever come close to competing with the 3DS. Not in Japan or any part of the world. Not even for a moment.
My fault for missing two words. Not doing myself any favors.It looks like this forum is getting to you, ShockingAlberto.
When the price of the Vita was unvailed the 3DS was also 250.
Ah okay thanks everyone.

When Ragnarok Odyssey, Soul Sacrifice, and God Eater are better, of course they won't even bother.
Got it, thanks for the clarification. Anyway, MH4 should top easily 3.5mln, it's unlikely it'll underperform.
The problem with a multiplatform portable MH is the fact that the game is so dependent upon the social gaming angle in Japan. Having two separate versions on two completely incompatible platforms would only divide the base, and make it inconvenient to organize playing the game locally. It would benefit Capcom more to keep the focus on 3DS with MH at this point, and consider a Vita-exclusive one in the future if its performance becomes more favorable than what it is right now.A chance for MH to be multiplatform and potential to be the best selling vita game....

Why would they need to fight, capcpom knows what side their bread is buttered by now

Software sells hardware.
This isn't hard to grasp. Nintendo has the most popular franchises worldwide and Sony does not, and third parties were shy day 1 when it came to the Vita.
There was a sect of GAF that thought the Vita stood a chance, but this was based more on hopes and dreams.
So? If you want to play Monster Hunter go buy a 3DS/Wii U.
Problem solved.

How does that benefit us?

Keep on fighting the good fightI'm sure that list of games saved Nintendo during year one right? Let's not try to rewrite history and act like people knew Vita was going to be selling the way it is from the very beginning.
Holy shitI think he was just talking about the "Capcpom"...
In any case, what's with this supposed Nintendo-Monster Hunter deal? This is the first I've heard of it, and it must have been a pricey moneyhat.

Was PSP outselling DS in Japan before Capcom made Monster Hunter on the PSP?

Nintendo games hardly appeal to the same demographic that Vita is.

Why did Sony decline to publish Monster Hunter outside of Japan?
Not everyone wants to buy a new system to play a single game. We already saw this with Bayonetta 2.
