Oh, my mistake. I didn't realize how relevant Vita is... in Japan. But are there any noteworthy Vita games coming from Sony? Nope. Also, you're ignoring the Playstation Vita TV is simply called Playstation TV in the west. Another sign Sony is trying to kill off Vita. The Xbox had about 5 years of noteworthy software support from MS whether it was published or developed. Sony has basically thrown in the towel on Vita games about 2 years in. |
Sony is just killing the Vita name. However, the PS (Vita) TV is still technically a Vita down to its core. And while the American and European branches of SCE aren't supporting the Vita, at least the Japanese and Asian branches are supporting the platform. On SCEJA's conference on the 17th, they're giving more support to East Asian countries with English translations of Japanese Vita games. I wouldn't call that not listening to the fans at its entirety. Also, the entry price for the Vita TV is way lower than the handheld version. Sony is giving consumers more options and they don't have to splurge as much cash to get a Vita. Yeah... totally not listening to its fans... -__-"
MS pulled the plug on the Xbox early to get an early leg up with the 360 and they did the same thing with the 360 after the Kinect was released. I hardly call abandoning the core audience later in the 360's lifecycle listening to its fans. In fact, it costed MS dearly coming into this generation even without the DRM debacle because of its struggles trying to make the X1 not look like a dudebro-only machine.
