I think this is Sony's way of helping to improve the launch software numbers to be honest. Hoping to get people to buy more games than they normally would since they can see the games and the hype of the system getting to the customers. Also I have started seeing all the stores around me plastering all the advertising spaces with PS Vita stuff. Plus I saw a few college basketball games that were "Powered by Sony's PS/PlayStation Vita". |
I think it makes sense - afterall those games are going to be in the retailer stock cupboards before launch either way - this way they get a lot more public exposure. The retailers don't have too much else to sell in Feb either, so they're going to be more then happy to give up some shelf space to a console which has a host of accessories they get a nice margin on.
I think if you've got a good software launch lineup then you should so it off, and that's what Sony's doing.
