Why do you feel that way?

I'd say PS3 had arguably the strongest year of its entire life this year; which is great, except it seems to have come at the expense of early support for the PS4 and any support at all for the Vita.  PS3 didn't need as many games at it's gotten this year; it's been complete overkill.  Which is great for me as a consumer, but not great for Sony as a company.

I just feel his priorities are wrong.  He's happy to give Naughty Dog; SSM etc. a free pass on not developing anything for handheld consoles; which would be fine if he were mandating other studios to focus on them.  But he isn't.  Bend apparently are now switching to PS4; Studio Liverpool & Zipper Interactive both got shut down after making Vita games.  

It's just a mess, imo.  The Japanese arm is now bombarding Vita next year (Soul Sacrifice; Over my Dead Body 2; Freedom Wars; Gravity Rush 2) after neglecting it for 2 years; yet they've got nothing in the pipeline for PS4.  Meanwhile, western studios are all clamouring to get games out for PS4 despite most of them missing the launch; and not one of them has any Vita projects on the go.

I've been bitching about this for a long time now. Every single 2013 PS3 first party game should be a Vita game. Every single one. If they did that, Vita would be in a totally different place now, with millions more in the wild and 3rd parties actually having a market there. Instead they overkilled the PS3 with so many games that in most cases they couldn't even sell as well as they should. Stupidity, the guy responsible for this should be fired.

OT: This is sad news for me. I love U:GA, it's my favourite Vita game and I was looking forward to the next Vita game from Bend. I guess now there really isn't that much to look forward to. Just the two late ports of a mediocre Spiderman and Borderlands 2. Wow! That's bound to move shitloads of hardware.

Seriously, how can Sony still allow their teams to ignore Vita the way they do? And after that they are surpriced we aren't buying Vita? They need to give us 8-10 AAA first party games in a single year. I understand that the nearest future is going to be PS4 focused, since they hold MS by their balls, but they have to return to Vita at some point and sooner rather than later, so they better have some Western support coming.

Either way, I still feel that remote play will kill any form of support for the console.
