Sony has hit back at critics who say that the PlayStation Vita will not find a market among gamers who are more interested in mobile phones than in portable consoles.
"When you look at the type of consumer that's playing cell phone games currently, it's someone that enjoys smaller 'kill time' gaming and has not gravitated to the larger, richer, deeper experiences that true handheld gaming provides," an exec explained recently. "As we go toward the PlayStation Vita, I can tell you that as we started looking at that product and the market opportunity several years ago, we saw a real strong demographic for those deeper, richer, console-type experiences."
Several developers have recently said that they don't believe the Vita will find an audience, but Sony has strongly denied that.
The console is due out early next year.
