In issue #118 of Develop magazine, Crytek CEO Cevat Yerli made an interesting comment when asked what he thought about the PlayStation Vita:

“The Vita is an absolutely fantastic platform but it will have a hard time, and it might be too late. 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

“Theres also the 3DS investing in this market. Its going to be a battle, and it will be about content and the platforms ability to receive the content. Streamlined social connectivity will also be very important.”
