Because its 80% true, im not denying that Sony doesn't make an effort(with your previous statements), but too many its non existent, especially outside of japan.

It's not exactly fair to compare a few announcements made at one event to WiiU's entire library for the next year... Vita already had plenty of games coming in 2015 and now it has 16 more, not just 16.

It seems to me that people who say that are just uninformed and think 3rd parties magically gravitate to Sony systems (even though we're talking about systems like Vita...). How about just recognizing that Sony works very well with 3rd party devs and that DOES require an effort. If it DIDN'T require lots of effort, Nintendo wouldn't have been practically without 3rd party support in comparison generation upon generation.

Ports and indies? No thanks.

Thanks for stopping by

You ask, you get! I found a list of First Party published Vita software before PlayStation Experience software.

So they will have put out over 80 Vita games before the end of 2014.

Thank you, damn didn't realize sony did 80+ games. 

They need to keep releasing Madden on Vita!!! Madden 13 on the Vita was so badass. It wasn't even that great of a Madden but being able to play that game on the go was f'in awesome.  I have played it countless times and still do regularly.  They did a great job on it.

Publishing is funding development, particularly on a system like Vita. That is no different at all to the people doing the development being on salaried on your internal development staff. The games wouldn't have happened without Sony's involvement and funding.

Surprisingly, even ports don't just grow on trees.

I suspect the lack of FIFA, Assassin's Creed, COD etc on 3DS and Wii U is far less down to 3rd party spite than many would think.

After Killzone Mercenary and Tearaway's sales, I can't say I blame them for giving up on their own IPs, they clearly don't hold enough clout.

If Nintendo was any other company, their 1st party content would suffer similarly on a handheld. (I doubt Gears of War and Halo would shift many Xbox Portables, if one existed for example).

I guess this is why 1st party has become such a key issue with Nintendo fans. 3rd party is by far a bigger driver of hardware and software sales on their rivals.
