This to me makes no sense at all. Sony exclusives need more sales (aka more cash flow)......giving away free games to slightly boost hardware handheld sales is just further recipe for a bad quarterly statement.


Unless they dont make physical copies of the Vita versions and release them through digital only. This in turn would help sales for the PS3 version and get people motivated to buy a Vita to play these games on the road (if its tied to their accounts and not released as a coupon/code).

Is this speculation or what they are actually doing? 

In the end, its giving away a free game and losing out on money. Its a band-aid solution to poor Vita sales, and this certainly isnt the road to go to bring them in league with what 3DS is pulling in. 

It's not losing out on money though because practically no one at all buys the same game twice. It would probably cost them more to discount the game by a $1 or something, at least that would be almost 2%. I wish we had the results from that survey Sony put out about this, then I could be sure, but you get my point. The loss of sales is so low that even a small amount of people buying cross buy games that otherwise wouldn't would probably make them more money than they could possibly lose out on.



Before the PS3 everyone was nice to me :(
