Yoshida, I don't think you understand your fanbase in general.

It's pretty clear you don't understand the fanbase. Game Quality is generally more important to gamers then its budget.

I wasn't referring to the topic.  I was referring to Yoshida in general, or did you forget about all his latest comments.  In the past month or two, he's said how he, and Sony, thinks PS Vita fans love indies and that they'll be pushing indies harder.  How he thinks indies are the future so Sony's will be publishing less retail titles.  Let's not forget that comment that was a slap in the face to any Vita owner, how the Vita is a great companion to the PS4, so they're not going to be developing much on the Vita, but hey, you can remote play.

He's one of Sony's voices, but he's one of their bigger voices being President of SCE World Wide Studios.  And yeah.  Those comments above clearly show he doesn't have the best interest for anyone who wants a decent game.  Atleast 99% of all indie games are garbage.  There is the very rare gem in the bunch and those gems are rather average compared to most retail games, but we've already discussed this in another thread so not going to bother again.   Hey, we're abandoning the Vita.  Hey, indie indie indie indie.  Out of Iwata and Yoshida, I know who I'd like to be removed from their position.

Kotaku sum it up pretty well. It is an unexpected direction for the Vita, but it's software lineup now is fantastic, and it's lower budget games and indies that have done that.
