And Resident Evil, MGS, and Kingdom hearts kind of games.
Outside sony's Ips and some Final Fantasy titles, what's left?
Well, if we look at the actual confirmed or announced games, you are right.
Also if other episodes of those franchises will be presented for Vita, we can find them also (up to now: only) on 3ds. Good point.
My doubts were related to the actual "results" of other titles but MH in terms of actual "stealing" the demographic from PSP. I'm still not sure that 3DS up to now could be declared successfull in this "plan".
Let's see if it will confirm this status with other "in-demographic" titles in the future
However, it doesn't help them on hardware front. PSP had great software support last year but the hard number still dropped by a large amount even after adding PSV numbers. It is declining even further this year.
re: Japanese Wii U support
I have not seen any third party Wii U game announced other than DQX. I hope you wouldn't really expect zero third party game in Japan for Wii U launch because they didn't show any at E3.
I don't think that PS3 hw numbers are so important to third party developers to decide if putting their 2013 games on the Wii U or on the PS3. I think that the strong results of One Piece Mosous, Tales of Xillia and other games, as the ones I'm expecting from RE6, Yakuza 5 and Tales of Xillia2, will be way more important.
Also considering that Wii U will have zero install base compared to the 8.5 millions install base of PS3 (with those software results clearly underlining an activa user base)
About Japanese support, we saw very few games announced up to now, but not only SQ10 (some Sega game as All star racing, Tekken from Namco, Tank tank from Bandai and so on). Why should I judge the actual Wii U support situation imagining non-existent titles? If (or if you prefer: when) they'll announce more games, we'll evaluate the situation and change our mind. Nothing is forbidding third parties to announce their games via Famitsu or individual conferences or other ways. And we also have clear sentences from some publisher that is not supporting the Wii U with its own already announced games (such as Konami for example, or Capcom).
I'm not saying this is the end of the discussion, but how many million sellers has Wii had, and how many million sellers had PS3 had (in Japan)?
Wii had a great run in terms of both software and hardware in Japan.
Main problem: almost no third party software house understood the opportunity at the very beginning, and also Nintendo aimed the console in a "selective" way (almost only Nintendo fans and casual market), so the traditional third party products struggled on the Wii, compared to the PS3.
That's the reason why I think that now that third parties are able to obtain great results with their own classic games (such as rpg and mosou games) on PS3 I'm not so sure they'll change their mind betting on the Wii U
