BS. The reason is simple. Sony, please repeat:

Two Western 1st party games in a whole year. Two Western 1st party games in a whole year. Two Western 1st party games in a whole year...


In the same year they've flooded the PS3 with massive exclusives and some medium tier games. Not a single one was needed there and most of them bombed either way. These games would move millions of hardware, which would in turn generate millions of additional software sales and turn Vita into a viable platform for 3rd party developers for years to come. Instead Sony marginalised Vita and made PS3 even more attractive for late adopters, who won't give them much money either way. Great success! Way to go!

QFT,

Games like R&C into the nexus,puppetear,rain,dragon's crown etc would have established this year for the vita if they were exclusive to it,but Sony had to give priority for its home console.

They will NEVER support their portables the same as their consoles.

Not just that. All these games should be exclusive on Vita (except Dragon's Crown, which is 3rd party, so Sony can't say a thing about it), but I believe every single 2013 PS3 game should be Vita exclusive. This includes Beyond: Two Souls (it would work much better with touch controls!), The Last of Us (finally a massive system seller), Ni No Kuni and Gran Turismo 6. These games would move millions of Vitas, instead they help PS3 fight the X360... As if that fight mattered at all at this point. Just one year with full Vita focus and there would be enough Vitas out there to make it a market in which 3rd parties can safely earn money. Considering development for Vita is cheaper than for PS3 and that development for PS4 is much more expensive, Vita would have a secure future, cause devs could earn money there without risking a massive PS4 level budget. It would cause a snowball effect for years to come and generate huge incomes in the long run. Instead Sony decided to be as shortsighted as they could and now is surprised that a console with the worst 1st party support in history isn't setting the world on fire and decide to just put the blame on mobiles. Cool story.
