Offcourse the 3DS has counter parts, which are similar. but guess what people still buy them because it is purely on 3DS


My whole argument around the free vita version is arond these spin offs.

If in future I can play a PS3 version of COD, AC, KILLZONE, Uncharted there is no need for me to buy the spinoffs mentioned above as my needs will be satisfied as I can now play them on a portable device. So the gamer wins but the developers of those spinoffs (which are purely used to milk extra money from people) loose out because considerable less will have a need for these anymore. Yes these spinoffs may be their own story and well presented etc.. but for some people it is as simple as IF i could play ps3 games on my vita I would not have the need to purchase these side games.

However my initial understanding was that this will not be a mandated thing. Now I know that 3rd party devs will have a choice if they want to release spinoffs, stand alone vita retail versions or offer a free VITA version iwith the PS3 copy. So in the end it will not be much a bad thing for the industry.

Yeah, if devs wanna make dedicated games like the new Killlzone, for instance, they can.  Or if they wanna save costs and make one version of a game, then they can do that too.  Everyone wins.
