Sony Denies PlayStation Dev Support Exits
Japanese newspaper claims devs are jumping to the Nintendo DS
With the European launch of the PS Vita less than a week away, Sony is firefighting a rumour in its homeland that developers are exiting the platform due to poor sales performance.
Respected Japanese news source, The Nikkei has reported an anonymous industry source as stating:
"Major Japanese companies are canceling all projects intended for the Vita and are changing development to the 3DS."
GamaSutra reports that Sony has come out swinging - well, in the sense that it has commented. Scott Rohde, Sony's senior vice president of Worldwide Studios said that:
"I did not see that quote, but you see extremist quotes like that all the time. 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."
