Why should a 3rd dev support it in a big way except Sony pays them to? a 3rd party dev has these options: - iOS / Android / Windows Phone --> Millions of users. (easy to develop for, very low budget, very high potential for the future) - 3DS --> 25 million users in 2013 (easy to develop for, low budget, high potential for the future) - 360 / PS3 / PC --> 150 million users (older hardware, mid - high budget, limited potential for the future) - Wii U --> 5 million users in 2013 (new tech, very high potential, mid-high budget) -PS Vita --> 5 million users in 2013 (easy to develop for, mid budget, uncertain future) - Browser games --> millions of users (easy to develop for, low-mid budget, high potential) Out of all these options, the Vita is probably the one that gets cut first. |
ouch...cold but very hard to argue. Looking at this point only hardcore Vita fans could see anything positive for the Vita. Still, if the system can reach a 5 mil userbase by Christmas day (a paltry number I know) it could at least delay the inevitable cancellation of the Vita; which is still costing Sony a lot of $$.
