Once again, I'm not talking about their internal studios. I'm talking about SCEJ as a publisher. They used to be a very active publisher of third party developed games, but SCEJ fell into serious neglect somewhere between Sony getting embroiled in a war with Microsoft over the western market and the death of the PSP. Now a lot of their former collaborators are best buddies with Nintendo (Level-5), primarily make mobile games now (Media Vision), or have gone out of business altogether. Let's forget all this about western developers because it's quite tangential to my main point, which is that Sony decided to launch a system for which they either didn't (my opinion) or couldn't (your opinion, apparently) get sufficient developer support. That is absolutely Sony's fault, and no one else's. And as someone who paid for a handheld system in its own right and not a PS4 accessory, I find it irritating in the extreme that Sony tries to convince me that the Vita is the latter rather than the former and tells me to forget about them developing any substantial new games for it. |
Yeah, true enough. I just looked through the games they published during the psp era and compared to the vita, it wasn't exactly flattering.
