This. This. And This.

GT, Uncharted, and God of War. Sonys 3 tier IPs (adopting MSs approach). All else simply doesnt cause a retail splash anymore or sell less then multiplats.

Vita needs those 3 franchises ASAP. Otherwise, you need 3rd parties and deals with them.

""Sony’s fans won’t want to hear this, but the gaming public is getting less and less interested in its in-house games""

what? Oh come on that's like saying just because ponderosa does not sell as many steak dinner's as say outback steak house does not mean people are not interested.

hey if you want, they are not interested as much, hows that is that better for you?

With every new generation, costs go up, staff increases, and salaries have to be paid. To make a full retail experience and without the luxury of being multiplat (more opportunity for income), you need to be really good to profit as a exclusive to one console.

Id imagine selling 500k-2 million lifetime as a exclusive wont cut it next gen.
