According to the Games Connection Publisher Survey 2013, 22% of surveyed publishers plan to release games on the PlayStation 4 and Microsoft’s new console, but just 11% are interested in releasing games for Wii U.

The Wii U is still doing better than other current generation hardware, though, with only 6% indicating interest in future PS3 and Xbox 360 releases, according to a report on MCV.

As in a recent GDC survey of developers, more publishers (9%) are interested in future Vita releases than 3DS (5%), even though the 3DS has a higher install base. Interest in both PSP and DS is witheringly low at 2%.

Meanwhile, motion controls – the passing generation’s great white hope – are right out. 3% of publishers have plans for Kinect and PlayStation Move. The poor old Wii barely gets a look in with 2%.

As well as changing platform interests, the survey showed that publishers are rethinking how they sell their games. 60% said they almost never release physical boxed copies of games. This figure will seem high if you’re console -centric; on consoles, 62% of publishers utilised boxed releases.

But elsewhere, 25% of publishers said they only use free-to-play, and 40% said they often use it. 55% have gone right off subscription services.

let's wait and see

Wasn't this posted already?

Didn't its say like 50%+ was developing for Tablets/Smartphones so this included a lot of itty bitty developers that would never develop on consoles to begin with?

2 x 0 = 0. Bad news for Sony and MS.

damn

So, doomed yet?

Yeah I posted this about a month of so ago lol

Edit: Actually the numbers in mine are a little different : http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=156210&page=1

More developers showing interest making games for Vita than 3DS already show how retarded they are.

Current developers aren't able to make creative games, instead they make glitched movies and those indeed only sell on PS/Xbox. Games sell on Wii U and Nintendo will show this with their new strategy working together with (japanese) third parties on Wii U/3DS exclusives. Wii U will get exclusives, while PS4/Xbox 3 get multiplatformgames that perform better on PC.

If you want to enjoy all types of games, buy a PC and Wii U.

This couldn't have been posted a month ago, the results were only released today.

As for the Vita/3DS thing, I'm not surprised at all. The smaller indie games and mobile/PC ports are starting to come fast and heavy for the Vita, both Japanese and western. It seems like the PS Blog is announcing a new one all the time. The success of games like Retro City Rampage, which sold the best on the Vita, and smaller Japanese games like Demon Gaze seem to have developers and publishers interested. It's a platform that's wide open and hungry for games right now, and without huge first-party titles that choke the life out of the smaller content.

That's an improvement. They were 10x as keen on PS360 to Wii.
