Where do people keep pulling this dev cost non-sense from? Every dev statement points to the Vita being extremely dev friendly.

dev friendly doesn't mean dev cost is not higher though.

It is much cheaper though. $2,000 for the Vita dev kit, that's it. PS2 and PS3 were $20,000 at launch. Vita has been touted by devs for the ease of development and porting. Not knowing which devs, I heard a quote from an industry person (don't remember who) talking about the remarkably short time to development the Vita was. The makers of Oddworld praised it for being able to port over their code in under 2 weeks time and have it fully rendered. I don't remember exactly what they said but they were reallly amazed by it and hands down is cheaper than developing on PS3.
