if they are just beginning to distribute dev kits and actually launch next year then shitty 3rd party support is already confirmed. less than a year to ready your games is not enough.


Actually, 1 year before launch for third party dev kits is quite far ahead of what is typical, it's usually under 6 months. PS4 dev kits were only reported going out just a few months ahead of launch, for comparison's sake.


untrue as fuck.  we already had the full specs of the ps4 dev kit leaked to the internet at over a year out from launch.

i mean c'mon man,.  the ps4 reveal was feb 20 a full 9 months before release and third party games like the witness and deep down where shown off already at the reveal.  at the reveal the games where already shown.  jonathan blow went on record saying the only reason the witness was announced as a ps4 exclusive  at the reveal (reminder: feb 20th 2013) was because sony was the only one willing to give his team a development kit.  clearly the "just a few months" statement is wrong.  ..just wrong.
