This is like the biggest news with the smallest impact of anything yet in 2013.

Yes, it's all good and Sony is getting better from here. I've just never seen a company do so many drastic changes before. Especially one that was at the top of their game 15-20 years ago.
They had a deal? That's news to me. Man Sony seems to have so many contracts being left unfulfiled.
Wow, that's basically the dude saying, yeah we were going to do it, we have a contract to do it but fuck it we decided against it. Kinda sounds like the Agent situation.

PS4 will most likely outsell Vita in Japan. I recently did some research and there's still at least 20-25+ million home console owners in Japan this generation, just like every other generation before it. Home console market in Japan has gotten a bit smaller, but not as much as some folks would like to believe. Maybe this upcoming generation will be different and WiiU+PS4+720 will sell less than 5 million combined, but I doubt it. WiiU has a lot of problems and reasons why it's not selling, being a home console is probably at the bottom of that list. And Puppeteer and Knack > Locorocco and WKC portables in terms of production value by a good green country mile.
Becker is actually getting good quality games announced and out of the door by Sony Japan. If you noticed, Team ICO got shuffled and Ueda went from employee to contractor after Becker got there. He's straightening things out, but that takes time. What great games did SCEJ develop for PSP before Becker got there? Nothing at all. SS should have been a PSP game, SS for PSV would have been more successful if the IP had been established at the peak of the PSP's life, when MH was exclusive to it.
Agreed, even though SS and HSG were developed externally and not by SCEJ.
Looking at Knack's style and design, I feel like it's definitely being catered to the Japanese audience.
You must think Vita will be discontinued soon.
All good. Title scared me for a second.
Yoshida says its all good, must be good!
of course!

You must think the Vita sales are great.
They're certainly better than PS4's
Well after been dead for like 5 years Japanese flip cell phones are getting popular again...so consoles might follow them and rise again in japan.

Since I'm assuming they're still taking small losses from selling the hardware, especially in Japan, I don't think so!They're certainly better than PS4's

Any word on if or how this will affect the Japan and Asia (Hong Kong) PS Stores? Will they be merged or still separate? Will releases now be on both instead of only one?
For example, HK gets a lot of US/EU content mixed with JP. However, JP doesn't get that US/EU content most of the time. Now JP Store can possibly get all the perks of JP and HK Stores.
