That's the biggest reason that the PSP sold as much as it did, it was so easy to hack. The PSV was basically doomede out of the g€ate, and it would've been a waste of Sony's 1st party resources to develop games to get moderate to low succes for the Vita platform, instead of developing for the smash hit that is/was the PS4. |
It was the PS3 that caused Vita software problems, not the PS4. And making the Vita a mild success would have been more financially rewarding then selling an extra 1m copies of God of War Acension, Grand Turismo 6, Ratchet and Clank Nexus. There are countless PS3 games that arrived between 2011-2013 that should have instead been developed for the Vita. Business wise sony made the mistake of pushing the PS3 harder in 2012 then they pushed the PSVita. When you're a hugely successful system at the end of your life and being flooeded by every big 3rd party release announced, you don't need a ton of exclusives and non of them made much of a dent on the PS3's baseline or natural decline.
