While the PS Vita has built up a crediable platform for indie, retro and cult titles, questions still arise about the likelihood of seeing more AAA games appear on the system.

In a comments thread on the US PlayStation Blog site (spotted by MCV) SCEA product planning and platform software innovation director Don Mesa responded to one reader's query about more Triple-A by stating that "the [traditional] economics simply don't work."

"We have to do something different to get AAA games on Vita," he continued. "We accomplished it to a certain degree by making PS4 games work on Vita via remote play. PS Now will be another way, streaming PS3 games on Vita. I can't wait until PS Now is out on Vita - I hope you'll try out the experience and let me know what you think."
