I agree, I've actually said as much before. Games take a while to develop; there's probably high profile games that have been in the pipeline for a while but which we don't know about yet. MHP4th on Vita wouldn't surprise me. |
If you were talking about a next generation console with processing power far beyond existing and emerging platforms this would be valid; after all, had developers had to drop the PS3 in 2007 to focus on the Wii they would have "lost" a large portion of their work. With the PS-Vita they can port to the XBox 360, PS3, PC, Wii U, and (probably within 12 to 18 months) smartphones with very minimal lost effort.
Certainly, there would be some work lost and not all games would be viable for every platform, but in many cases it would make sense to port the game to other platforms to increase the total userbase by 10 to 100 times.
