Sony has outlined a three-part strategy to reinvigorate sales of its lagging PlayStation Vita handheld, chief among which includes its Remote Play function with PlayStation 4.
Speaking during an interview with Kotaku, Sony’s Adam Boyes reckons the PS Vita’s ability to play PS4 content will help entice publishers to churn out more triple-A content for the handheld.
“You have this amazing sort of triple-A experience when you’re in bed knocking out a couple scavenger missions in Assassin’s Creed IV right before you go to bed. I think with Remote Play that I’m gonna be playing very little mobile games at home now within the house,” said Boyes.
“I do think that the Remote Play aspect of PS4 is gonna help the amount of Vitas that are out in the wild, and then that will start informing more publishers to build that bigger, meatier content.”
Boyes also pointed to PS Vita’s growing support in the indie development community as one of the platform’s many advantages.
“We had a ton of announcements at Gamescom for great content like that on the Vita. So the reality is, we’re trying to create a bunch of different content for a variety of gamers so they get satiated with a device on the go or within their house.”
