Its a stupid term, but he evidently means the challenging type of games Atlus makes^

WiiU may become the machine that scratches that need for the Japanese.

There have been many changes done to football simulators in the recent years. Going to full 360 degrees of movement instead of the 8 directions there used to be. Adding goalie control, the whole mode where you play with just your one player, etc. But the most important thing I want is cross-play between Vita, PS3 and PS4.

God I hate when publishers dont spend time on making a game 

It might have. But the thing is, all of those consoles rose a lot in sales while Vita isn`t rising.
So, my guess is, they know they won`t sell more than they did so why lose profits by giving the game more dev time.

This is, of course, assuming Vita will get the 3DS treatment (= same game as last year).

You know why psvita sold that poorly it's because 3rd make any effort to push the console,yes the install base is not big but i believe it's enough to have serie growth on Vita.

For a franchise that seems like a bit of a cash in to me, this appears to be a bit too much of a cash grab.

It would not be Fifa if it would not be that way.

It`s not because a console sees some increase in HW sales that we should expect a correspondant growth in SW sales in games.
What i mean is, it`s not garanteed that all those who bought the last game will be buying it again + a percentage of those who bought a Vita since the last game came out.
The HW increase hasn`t been great enough to assure that, no matter what, the game can grow in sales this year aswell.

Look at Wii U: games like Splinter Cell aren`t being given the full port treatment because Ubisoft knows the install base isn`t there to maximize profits. And i could use other examples.
As Vita, Wii U hasn`t grown enough to ensure developers that they can spend more money on ports.

Problem of the Wii u is people will always prefer multiplatform on Sony and Microsoft consoles.

About Vita nobody know the future so a real port of Fifa could do bad but it could do quite good, and i hear it's easy to port a ps3 game on Vita so i don't they would cost them a lot of money to make a great port,if they don't want to do some risk,Ea should not even make a Fifa on Vita because  it will bomb ,the first fifa sold 0.48 second does 0.22 this year it would sold less then that

FIFA is FIFA? Who knew.
