Sony has told CVG that the number of titles being created for PlayStation Vita roughly matches PS3's production pipeline - a step change in focus since the PSP days.
However, he asserted that it wasn't an error Sony would be making twice.
"We are doing about the same number of titles [on Vita as on PS3] so that means a lot," he stated. "One of the things we didn't do to well to support PSP was that right after PSP came out we moved on to working on the PS3 launch titles.
"So we shifted too much resource out of PSP so after a couple of years the PSP support when quickly down.
"We tried to back it up a couple of years ago but there was a time where we were not offering enough PSP content. So going forward we do not want to make the same mistake so we always look at the balance that we are doing in support of both PS3 and NGP."
Sony unveiled PlayStation Vita at E3 2011 last week. The handheld, which is expected to launch before the end of the year, is on sale for around £230 in the UK.

Let me correct you there Mr Sony ... you are doing the same titles, as in the same games from what I can see.
As nice as modnation racers is on the PSV, if I want to play it ... Well I will just play it on the PS3 .. Think you might have missed the point there somewhere.

Eh?
The whole point is to be able to play MNR, you know, when your not in.
Personally, I can't wait to play both Uncharted 3 on the PS3 and Golden Abyss on the Vita. Two totally different games, set in the same universe.
It's not like they're porting all the games from the PS3, is it?

They learnt the hard way with the PSP. No games and the release of the PS3 stopped me using mine.

Yeah but I dont tend to play handheld games 'on the move' ... Most of the time I am playing handheld games at home anyway, so for me it would be pointless.

Looking forward to when this drops, if it is end of year I will be playing two new Uncharted games - UC3 on PS3 and Golden Abyss on PSV - kudos to Sony

I'll play the wait and see game here. I bought a PSP day one but sold it due to the lack of games. I then bought a PSP further down the road.
At the moment Vita is a buy for me and if all is as good as it sounds I see myself buying it when it's out or not far off. Only time will tell though if this will be a mistake or not.
