They've been planning this remake ever since ToIR came out. And Tales fans usually own Playstation systems. Granted, ToIR didn't sell a whole lot, but there you go. They might put another game on the 3DS.

I think it's in the interest of publishers to expand the market as much as they can. People keep implying that developers are going to abandon the Vita, but I can't see that happening. It's bad business long-term. Rather, what we've seen is that developers are clinging on to the PSP longer than they should. The big publishers, and the developers Sony works with closely, are going to have to be the ones to move the market forward. It just makes good business sense, though it might hurt short-term earnings.
In other words, if everyone is only releasing games for one handheld, then it's going to be an extremely crowded market, especially when you're talking about a Nintendo system with Nintendo developed games steam-rolling just about everything else. The smart publishers know that everyone is better off with a second viable platform available.
I've said it before, but I think the Vita is going to be fine once developers finish up their PSP projects. It's just not going to be soon enough for the doom-callers on forums and gaming websites. I think the end of next year and the beginning of the year after are going to see a healthy crop of Japanese Vita reveals and releases. |
It has nothing to do with this. The producer literally said they put Tales games on PS systems because Tales fans expect games on PS systems. If the situation was switched in Nintendo's favor they wouldn't even bother making Vita Tales games.
Not to mention a crowded market didn't hinder PS2 Tales games.

I wasn't speaking directly to this, but in a general sense, as people are going to be asking the same question with every game that releases for the Vita. If you don't think publishers would prefer competition between consoles then that's your opinion. I've stated mine.
