Heavy Iron studios doesn't think the PS Vita will have much of a market, and they aren't alone. Over the past few weeks, developers and publishers have increasingly voiced their doubts as to whether the Vita will find success in an industry increasingly dominated by smart phones and tablets.
"If people aren't willing to pay $249 for a Nintendo 3DS why would they pay $299 for Vita?" a studio exec said recently. "People don't want to carry more than one thing in their pocket, that's why Android and iPhone have done so well, they are the devices of choice, they offers multiple functions outside of gaming."
The Vita is due out early next year, although it was originally scheduled to hit stores at the end of 2012.
