PSP2, Switch 2 and an Xbox handheld... a brighter portable future?

Most wanted Vita games in Japan, will PS4 launch help or hinder?

Vita games manage to creep into the bottom of Famitsu's latest most-wanted game poll in Japan, pushed down by a few PS4 entries, as the new console launches in just a few hours. Will the Vita really get a sales boost from the new big-screen console? Sony gave anecdotal evidence of a Vita sales boost, but what? 1-in-100, 1-in-1,000? As the PS4 passes five million sales, that could be a little or a decent chunk.

The second question is, after the launch, will Japanese developers focus on the PS4 and its big-screen appeal? Or will Japanese love of diddy-screen gaming win through? With lots of lay-offs in recent years, do Japanese developers have the depth for multiple efforts?

One thing is pretty certain, Persona 5 Portable/Golden can't come soon enough as that's clearly the big cheese in Japan right now.
