Sony is looking at remastering PS3 titles the same way Disney remasters movies

In other words: We envy the huge profits they reap from putting minimal effort into remaking/rebooting classics. Why put money into script and story writers, when you can just take an few years old product and add bloom!

But on a more serious note, this is simply the next step of Sony's new stance of Expect Less From Us: Expect Less AAA -> More Indies to Fill the Gap! -> Remasters!

I thought I had just gotten accustomed to this stance early having been a Vita owner but now even Sony's higher ups are calling out the core home console gaming demographic with comments like I don't understand those people, they will roll their eyes.  

The funny thing is following that strategy will kill Paystation.  Cutting out the smaller titles from retail simply wont give Playstation consoles the appearnance of a software library with variety. It also makes software discovery a huge problem for anyone who doesn't already own the machine.  Vita is the living embodiment of that strategy but that rot will kill a home console too.   It just might take a little longer.  

bolded: Completely false

Also you don't seriously believe that the thing that killed the Vita were the missing smaller retail titles? What killed the Vita was a lack of appeal from the start bundled with a lack of support from first and third party developers. Both things that, even if people want to paint that picture at least regarding first party support, the PS4 does not lack.
