2 of those were in the first year and a half, in which the Vita's future was still relatively bright. After that, we've gotten quality first-party exclusives at a rate of one or two a year (Tearaway last, Freedom War this year), and Killzone was kinda a disappointment. Really, they seem to have handed the device off to third-party Japanese devs, which is something that is killing it everywhere else.
And what makes you say that? The system will get its 6-7 years of fame, like every Nintendo console, before Nintendo will start developing on the new console. Sure, third-party devs keep Playstation consoles alive for longer, but Nintendo consoles don't have that kind of development advantage. Even the PS3 is getting mostly inferior ports from third-parties at this point. The PS2 was sold for over half a decade after the PS3 came out, but does that mean Sony supported it through software the whole time? I've learned to enjoy software while it's out, and both Nintendo systems and Sony systems have some great titles during the lifecycle, and peter out after. |

Sorry but that's your personal opinion. We were discussing great Sony developed games and Killzone is accepted as a great game by most who have played it. Both Tearaway and Killzone released last year. Both of them were commercial flops. Not exactly encouraging for future Sony support. Getting 3rd parties to port their games to Vita is easier and far more viable. That doesn't mean you can say Sony has developed nothing for it, because as I showed they have made plenty of Vita titles (with little support from the userbase).

Uhm have you heard about Wii? Released in 2006 it was dropped by Nintendo almost immediately after Zelda's release in 2011. Now with WiiU being sort of a lost cause in the sales perspective they won't stay long. My bet is that they'll abandon it soon after Zelda's release next year-2016.
PS3 is still getting support from Sony though...LBP3 just released on it and it has gotten most of the 3rd party games this year. Don't even compare Sony consoles to Nintendo's. You can even look at DS vs. PSP and see that Sony kept PSP alive longer than Nintendo kept DS alive.
