Crytek CEO Cevat Yerli is a fan of Sony’s next big thing, but reckons the PS Vita is going to have some difficulty competing in a market already stuffed with smartphones and tablets.
The Vita is an absolutely fantastic platform but it will have a hard time, and it might be too late,” he says in the latest issue of Develop.
“I love Sony as a company, and we have great relations with them, but the Vita is going to have a hard time against the next generation mobiles and all the tablets.
“There’s also the 3DS investing in this market,” he adds. “It’s going to be a battle, and it will be about content and the platform’s ability to receive the content. Streamlined social connectivity will also be very important.”
His comments more or less match up with id’s John Carmack, who recently predicted that, within the next year or so, the PS Vita is going to look “pretty pokey” in comparison to other portable tech.
