So why does it have to fall to one studio? Surely the employees would like to work on other hardware (much like Ready at Dawn and The Order). SCEE has put out a couple of Vita titles (Killzone Mercenary and soon to be Tearaway), so that's your Western first party.

I already explained all of this in a post later on. This is not 'about' Sony Bend. It's about sony removing whatever little support the system had from a first party stand point in the west. And I'm talking about going forward. Tearaway and KZ Merc were revealed last year. How many such titles were revealed at Gamescom and E3 this year? That's the issue. 

It's sony's job to make the games happen. And they are employees...not the employer. And unlike R@D, these are first party studios. And Sony BEND is no ND to have such a big say in what they want either. If their studios don't wanna or can't do the games then make new studios...not our problem, it's their job to make it happen. make more smaller teams within ND, SSM etc just focused on vita development.

SCEA has been shit too. At least SCEE has done some great projects for the system so far. I will give compliments where it's due and do so if they actually announce some proper titles for next year later on. Right now, while we are approaching November, they deserve no such thing

Lots of Sony published Vita titles were shown from Western developers. They just weren't big titles, so they kinda get pushed to the side (Murasaki Baby, Borderlands 2, BigFest, Vita Pets are all Western games published by Sony). There's a lot of PS3/4/Vita games from Western studios, and I can understand the complaint of wanting something specifically for the platform. That said, this is most financially feasible way for Sony to go, especially after seeing how poorly Mercenary did.
