Why doesn't Sony cater to the Japanese?

@pokopoko. Why wouldn't they transition to the 3DS? I ask because this is a topic on 1st party development, and so to count on 3rd party software is not such an answer to OP.

You'd have to ask each individual studio that.  A lot of them have made games for both Nintendo and Sony.  Many studios also form loose partnerships with either Sony or Nintendo, though what kind of support that entails I do not know.  I think it's also worth noting how strong the PSP finished in Japan, and how big that brand is there, so I really doubt the Vita will be abandoned.  It's just going to have to fight with the PSP early in it's life-cycle.

As far as the OP goes, I think saying that extensive first party support hasn't been necessary in Japan counts as answering the question.  It's a two horse race over there, with plenty of room for both, so it's a different situtation than in the west.  

I agree, you answer one side of OP. But don't you think Sony's 1st party jap games would increase the interest in vita while it's waiting for 3rd parties, making the transition more promising?
