3rd parties don't sell on Vita confirmed... wait that's pretty known right?

What on earth are you talking about?

Anyway.

Okay, for anyone who didn't read the postmortem, that title is misleading.  They aren't throwing blame on the Vita.

"The Vita is great and the development environment is first rate, but poor Steve just had too much on his plate. The task was huge, particularly as we had never added shaders into our engine before. All the new graphics effects were added from scratch. We ditched the old routines for things like specular and environment mapping, and rewrote them all to take advantage of what the Vita offered.

It all just took so long, Steve working silly hours adding to and adapting the engine." 

It's really an interesting read.  Basically, it's about a small team that over-extended themselves.  This is why using an existing engine will be key in the coming generation.
