Because fuck the vita

... :(


lol exactly what i said to myself XD i dont understand sony, if they dont want to bother making games for the vita, why on earth did they make the handheld? i understand sony wants to make their first party devs stronger and grow them. but why make the Vita if they want all their devs to be AAA console devs?

In my opinion, after the many first party flops (too many to list) and the little increase in hardware, Sony decided that it's not worth the investment. They don't want to discontinue the console, because of the uproar and loss of brand loyalty. I think as things are now they're making a profit from all the hardcore gamers, who may be few, but buy a lot of games. 

In Japan, there are enough big 3rd party developers making games for it and it does have a future there. So, in Japan they're still making games for it. There's no point for them to make big AAA games for vita in the west considering how little they affect hardware. The sales of Tearaway and Killzone are a slap in the face as far as Sony is concerned. They're relying on indie developers in the west who can make a small profit from releasing games on the vita and Sony at the same time makes a small profit as well. At this point the psvita is an afterthought for Sony and I don't see how anyone could blame them after the effort they've put to save the system.
