Sony: Vita to be “Easiest and Most Well Supported” Platform Yet
“It had very, very high potential and peak performance, but programming for the PlayStation platforms was a huge challenge for game developers.”
And He discussed an important reason for a change:
“Development efficiency has become more and more important,”
“The focus has shifted to be less about getting the most out of the hardware, to be about having a very smooth production process. That’s because now it involves so many more people to make one game.”
Senior Vice president of SCE Worldwide Studios Michael Denny made sure to state the new goal:
“When it comes to ease of development, the Vita is a platform with which we’ve been very mindful of that, In terms of smoothing the development process, certainly what the Vita offers is close to that of the PSP, and with some of the help we’re giving to developers, I would say it is the easiest and most well supported platform yet.”
Sony World Wide Studios CTO Richard Lee agreed and confirmed ease of development a top priority:
“We made every effort to make it as easy as possible, I think we took the experiences from PS3, and decided that we wanted to go out there with a great developer environment that is compatible with the third party tools that developers normally use.”
So there you have it. Good news for developers and perhaps gamers.

Hopefully this means more quality for the price. Looking forward, could this possibly mean that the PS4 could be easier to develop for than the 720? And furthermore, not just be a port-fest?
