also if the Suite titles need to be rated by ESRB doesn't it make it hard and slower for games to get released on it, it won't be like iOS or Android store.
Yeah, it'd be an added step.
Minis needed a rating. IIRC it's about $2500 to get one. It's one reason devs give when there's a price disparity between a game on minis vs a game on the app store.
From Sony's comments so far it does sound like the Suite submission process may be a little higher-barrier and targeting slightly more expensive content than the iOS or Android Marketplace, but the requirement for a ESRB rating would be a little disappointing. Still, I guess it's an improvement over minis where you needed to invest in specific dev kits AND the rating (not to mention a more involved porting process).
edit - also, I'm sure the nintendo platforms stuff is purely ESRB 'fooling around', putting in random platforms etc. Nintendo would never allow a competing digital store on their platforms and stuff like DS etc. wouldn't meet Suite's minimum requirements (assuming Xperia Play is sort of the baseline).
