Here's a analogy for you " Only hipster gamers buy a $2000 gaming pc just to play indie games." 3.This is not going to happen due to licensing agreements that Microsoft and Nintendo would be insane if they agreed to. You see games like Chrono Trigger and FF6 on PSN because SquareSoft ported them to the PS1. You see all of Sega's, Neo-Geo's, and Turbografix's retro games on all platforms because they are out of the console business and want you to buy digital versions of their old games. You see Banjo-Kazooie and Perfect Dark on XBLA because Microsoft bought Rare and then negotiated with Nintendo to release the games. If you say just port over the exsisting code, then please tell me what button to press on the Vita when the game prompts me to "press A to jump?" You can get games like "Enter the Matrix" because it was put out on all of the platforms last generation and a direct port to PS3 would just use the PS2 version, but thinking that Sony can put up KoToR because Microsoft doesn't own the rights to is borderline nonsensical. The Third party companies would have to have waste so much time just to change the code and deal with negotiating the licensing that it just wouldn't make sense to spend all the resources to do the port. 4. Learn the definition of exclusive. All of those games can/ are going to be able to be played on consoles that are not the Vita. The real problem with the Vita right now is that more people are skeptical now that since Nintendo did a drastic cut early in the life of the 3DS that Sony might do the same. Once it happens to the memory cards, system, and game prices, then I will see the Vita piking up steam. |
At what point did i say developers could port games at no additional cost. The money invested will need to be weighed up against the potential revenue gained from sales. "thinking that Sony can put up KoToR because Microsoft doesn't own the rights to is borderline nonsensical" 0_o .....I was refering to sony negotiating with developers and publishers to have their games put on PSN. I assume this is how current HD collections which were once exclusive to the ps2 are appearing on the 360. I've corrected the 4th point, i meant multi-platform as well as exclusives.
