According to Kiyoshi Shin, the Japanese branch director of the International Game Developers Association (IGDA) an anonymous source has tipped him off and stated that
“Major Japanese companies are canceling all projects intended for the Vita and are changing development to the 3DS.”
It’s hard to take this quite seriously, as Sony has been emphasising third-party support ever since the PlayStation Vita’s public début.

Personally, I feel that smaller developers (not necessarily the “major” developers) are shifting development to the Nintendo 3DS, due it being relatively cheap to develop for and having a large install base.
After the break you can find a reply from Sony’s Worldwide Studios Vice President Scott Rohde, when he had an interview with Gamesutra and discussed the rumours. Continue reading

In terms of software, it was a pretty good week for the Japanese giants, Nintendo, with three Nintendo 3DS games landing in the top 5. Continue reading
