| Blood_Tears said: Why support something consumers are not going to buy? Sony didn't abandon the Vita, they supported it, they marketed it and no one bought it. The customers spoke with their wallets. The only people who say Sony abandoned the Vita are the owners themselves who want more support because they like the system and the others just jump on the bandwagon in the forums. Sony is doing the smart thing with the Vita, not wasting tons of cash on it. Even if they did, consumers wouldn't buy it anyways. They tried, reception was weak, move on. |
Wouldn't you think owners of the Vita are saying they want more support because they aren't getting any?
Just about everything releasing in the west is a port. Sony is doing nothing to push exclussives for the console despite saying these exact quote.
"The issue that happened with PSP is we got overrun with ports. "It became very difficult for us to define what made PSP unique. The content development became a bit unstructured or decentralized, in that we got a lot of content that was on PlayStation 2 and got thrown over to the handheld."
"The messaging is similar [between PSP and PS Vita/console games on a portable device], but I think the output is going to be quite different."
The message was different alright. Not just a few ports here and there like the Vita. Ports out the fucking ass. Back then I believe it, but for a very long time I haven't and I've been pissed at Sony for the money that I've practically thrown away because of them. Then when Sony has came out and said that indie games have been making a lot of money for them so they're going to push less AAA support and more for indies. Less AAA when they've been doing pretty much none to begin with? Plus 99.9999% of all indie games are appearing on PC priorr to their release on the Vita. So in essence, they're saying. "We're going to support not just ports, but shitty indie ports," since most indies are terrible.
