A Japanese news report is claiming that a large number of developers who were creating games for the PlayStation Vita have chosen to cancel their projects and instead are switching to creating Nintendo 3DS games. Sony on the other hand has responded to this claim, stating that third party companies are still fully backing their system.

Nikkei was reportedly told by an unidentified source that “Major Japanese companies are cancelling all projects intended for Vita and are changing development to 3DS.” Sony’s Scott Rohde was quick to dismiss this claim, simply stating that it is largely exaggerated to Gamasutra. He went on to say that “I know many, many, many third party developers are feverishly working on Vita titles, not just for now, but for the foreseeable future. There’s always going to be the hot platform of the moment in our industry. There’s always going to be reason to talk about a story like that.”

Tecmo Koei recently revealed that they would be bringing the franchise-combining Warriors Orochi 3 to Western gamers next month on both the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 consoles. The games are set to be released in America on March 20 and in Europe on March 30. However it seems that, while the Xbox 360 version of the game will be seeing a full retail release, Sony has a strange policy that is forcing Warriors Orochi 3 to be a digital download only.

According to Destructoid, Sean Corcoran, Marketing Manager for Tecmo Koei America, has explained that Sony does not allow games without English voice acting to be released on retail discs. The game will not be sold at full price however through the PSN, though no price has currently been set yet.
