It's the safest way for Japanese devs to do things at the moment and the easiest way for Sony to convince them.
People aren't gonna pick up a Vita for just one game which is also on PS3. But hopefully once they see multiple games appearing on both systems and factoring in that Japanese people seem to prefer gaming on handhelds, then it'll hopefully help Vita gain a little traction over there.
In the mean time, for the dev, a game under-performing because of Vita's userbase will be evened out by fairly decent sales on PS3 (or at least you'd hope so).
Over time I'd expect development to migrate to PSV naturally and phase out the PS3 versions as well. But for the time being it's just a workaround of PSV's low uptake I guess.
On topic: Looks great!
