I'm just thinking that maybe the third parties aren't amused right now with cross buy. That will mean more first party games sold, much less third party games sold. It's a great feature for the users, at least in the short-mid term, but it can create problems in the long term Sony-third party relations. I see it as a rather desperate move by Sony to make Vita a viable platform, but I'm not sure if it's a healthy long term tactic.

Uhm, how so?

A game that you can play on Vita and PS3 is more desirable than a game that you can only play on Vita or PS3. There is also the psychological effect that having several games to play has, you can have them also on the PS3, but you don't feel the same way than having only one or two games to play on Vita.
