A report in the Nikkei yesterday has sent the rumour mill into overdrive, claiming that major Japanese publishers are pulling support for the PS Vita in favour of the 3DS.
However Sony Computer Entertainment Worldwide Studios senior vice president, Scott Rohde, has dismissed this report as nothing more than an "extremist quote" and that there are still numerous developers and publishers onboard.
Given that the PS Vita, at the time of writing, has yet to be launched worldwide, and that the Japanese launch has seen slow sales, it is likely that the Vita will have a difficult birth. However, the same was true for the 3DS, and sales of the console have seen a steady increase, perhaps a indicating positive long term prospects for the handheld console in general, and Sony in particular.
The PS Vita will be launching in South Africa on 22 February, 2012.
