Sony hopes to make the PlayStation Vita's firmware updates less intrusive than on the PlayStation 3 and PSP, according to worldwide studios chief Shuhei Yoshida.
Yoshida wouldn't offer GameInformer (http://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2011/09/18/sony-s-shu-yoshida-talks-vita-psp-lessons-and-nintendo.aspx?PostPageIndex=1) any firm details of how things will work on the new handheld, but confirmed it was working on a solution.
"I agree, it's very annoying when you only have one hour in your busy life to play a game, and when you have to spend 30 minutes out of that one hour to update the hardware," he said.
"So it's not necessarily the frequency of how we update, it's like you said - intrusiveness - of the current processes that we have on PS3 and PSP. I cannot talk about specific plans, but we are very aware of the issues, and we'd like to address those issues on PS Vita going forward."
Great news if true. One thing that has let the side down this generation has been the severity of the constant updates for me. I want things to go back to the simple 'plug and play' ethos because coming home, downloading updates, waiting then waiting some more just changes the entire experience and puts me off.
