| small44 said: What is the difference for you if first party game are from scea or scee and scej? How many millions of dollars Sony should spent to get GTA i don't think Sony pay anything to get GTA on psp Microsoft pay 50 millions for a GTA expansion for 6 month it would cost a lot more for Sony to get a full gta game and since Sony has now financial problem i doubt Sony can spant that lot of money for just 1 game and since it's easy to port ps3 game to vita why they don't port gta 5 to vita? Sale will never pick up if third party don't support it not even ps4 would do amazing number if they hadn't third party support,Vita sale pick up in Japan when third party made a lot of game not the opposite,if they don't support vita now they will never support it and they will lost the possibility of getting more income. Wii u is getting many multiplatform game vita dosn't ,Call of duty black ops 2 sold 4 time less then Call of duty black ops desclasified and yet wii u get another Call of duty game and vita not. |
It makes a HUGE difference for two reasons
1. Sony's best and most popular western first party studios are under SCEA
2. SCEE and SCEJA can't do the heavy lifting alone. 2013 was basically their show with SCEA not showing up. So 2014 is the time they should pick up the slack. Situation is made dire by Shuhei's dumb moves in not bringing games like rain and Puppetteer to vita.
A handheld game is much cheaper to make. And I assure you exclusive GTA games didn't come to the psp because Rockstar took a leap of faith. Money talks and shit happens basically. They also don't have a single huge third party exclusive for the first 2 years+ in Japan. No FF, No DQ. It doesn't always have to be money. A partnership with incentives such as more marketing, publishing and other future costs being paid would have done just fine. Sony came in with no solid plan but mainly focusing on the PS4 and it shows sadly. In Japan actually vita is gettin a decent amount of software support now thanks to sales picking up somewhat. Issue is in the west, especially NA. No marketing, no first party exclusives and no third party exclusives = big problem
As for your COD example, wiiu basically got a port of a current gen game. Vita gets bunch of ports too. But if Vita were to get a COD they will have to make a new one because of things like MP. And I am certain Ninty is paying if there's a need because Acitivision won't do it if it doesn't make them money.
At the end of the day the console was made by Sony. So it's their responsibility to the customers who bought their product to make sure great quality exclusives keep coming. They are doing a poor job at it overall at the moment.
