Quantity and quality of games aren't definitely the issue. And I don't think price is either (3DS sold at $250 albeit no competition for next gen).

I believe the PSV lacks a killer app. Unfortunately, I don't remember any Sony 1st/2nd Party games that I'd consider as a killer app in Japan.

There wasMH before, but 3DS now has it.

Hopefully, the Vita sells well in EU/NA next year as the games attract and suit the western crowd better.

3DS = D.O.A
Vita = Strong start

Okay, SW.

Still kind of sucks to see XIII-2 flopping though.

600k units in total, I wouldnt really call it a flop. As for the Vita, the lineup is really disappointing. I know there are a few games that are good but the majority dont seem that interesting.

But a week is 7 days, you're adding together 9 days worth of sales.

look at the ps3. Sure it had a huge drop from the ps2 but after the first few months no one here guessed that it would finish roughly equal to the 360 in install base. The tech was too expensive but after some time the costs went down and the tech made it more future-proof. Just like the PSP the Vita will finish stronger than it started.

It's like talking to a wall, there is no point.

KONAMI, greenlight Castlevania 3DS as 3DS is currently a healthy platform.

It seems like Capcom foresaw this by putting a mainline RE as well as MH on 3DS.

Please don't. Greenlight one for current gen consoles and no I don't mean lords of shadow 2.

The DS games were actually pretty good. Did you play Order of Eclescia?

EDIT: Of course, it's simply possible that you don't like handheld gaming, and so want a Castlevania game on the consoles...
