Sony Talks PS Vita Tech at Develop: Games for All

Various sources including Gamespot are reporting on Sony's head of development services talking at the Develop conference in the UK. Kish Hirani told the assembled coders nothing dramatically new, but he covered the details that:


  • It is designed to attract a range of games from mobile and mini-style titles to full AAA hits.
