I think you have to buy on psn for cross buy. So no buy and then trade in shenanigans. |
If this is true, then they not only piss on third party companies, they also piss retailers taking sales from them.

There's nothing stopping third parties from doing this to. If they don't its their loss.

If they do its their loss, as Sony don't have to pay themselves to develop games on PS3 or Vita, as they are the platform right holders. Tell to the third parties that they have to develop the same games on PS3 and Vita, and they have to give one of them free, and I'm sure they can't be happy with that.
Sony does this to try to make Vita a viable platform in the long term, they should be worried with its future if they do so. It's a bit of an uncompetitive behavior, but they seem to think that they need to do so. To me it's like if the first parties sold their games 10-15 US$ cheaper than the third party games.

This has nothing to do with "having" to make a vita version of a game. There's nothing stopping EA from making FIFA and Madden cross buy games except their own greed. And if another game gives a better deal and sells better thats called capitilism.
