I don't know where the basis for your expectations are coming from, but I feel studio japan is doing an excellent job. Have you actually played delta? There two times as much contents as the original so how can it not be considered. for the record polyphony only ever released a single game for the psp. And you haven't answered how is it feasible for western big publishers to release games on the vita without sony moneyhatting. For a portion of the number of sales and a portion of the price of their console counterpart, how is that market even worth considering? Releasing a single game specifically for the vita versus releasing multiplatform across ps4, xbox and pc. If I'm a publisher, I would be raving mad to go antwhere near the vita. If western support is not there, square enix, capcom and konami, who are focused on the international market have no reason to follow. |
You seem to be confusing SCEJ with just Japan Studio. The latter is but a small part of the former.
I didn't realize there was any question about western publishers because they don't really do handhelds and haven't done them in years. They aren't even interested in the 3DS. And hell, at least western publishers coughed up Assassin's Creed and Call of Duty (such as it was) in the Vita's first year. No similarly large Japanese franchises showed up, and that despite having a lot more viability on a handheld platform. So I'm not sure I follow you there. Sony goofed big time by not making any effort to corral substantial Japanese support. All their efforts were on western games, and that turned out to be as horribly misguided as anyone with even a cursory understanding of the market knew it would be.
