Creditable Japanese Magazine claims developers jumping the Vita ship for 3DS
According to an anonymous quote, from Japan’s Nikkei newspaper, developers are moving there Vita developed games to the 3DS.
“Major Japanese companies are canceling all projects intended for the Vita and are changing development to the 3DS.”
With no surprise Sony is debunking these claims. Sony’s senior vice president of Worldwide Studios, Scott Rohde had this to say.
“I did not see that quote, but you see extremist quotes like that all the time,” says Rohde, who spoke to Gamasutra about the incipient launch of the Vita in North America.
“I mean, obviously, there is no way anyone could stand in front of a camera and say that all developers are changing focus from one platform to another, no matter what it is.”
Rohde went on to say that his guess is that it’s “largely exaggerated. I know many, many, many third party developers and publishers are feverishly working on Vita titles, not just for now, but for the foreseeable future.”
I guess we will have to wait and see.
