Jet Set Radio PlayStation Vita Release Delayed

SEGA Europe has today announced a delay in the release of the PlayStation Vita conversion of Jet Set Radio. Recently made available for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 via Xbox LIVE Arcade and PlayStation Network respectively, the PlayStation Vita version was expected to launch shortly thereafter, however the videogame has now been pushed back to an unspecified date.

Well, that's too bad. After hearing it wouldn't be cross-buy, I've been debating which platform to grab on. Right now, I'm thinking... neither.

Already got it for 360 but I was thinking about getting it for Vita too. Maybe not now, I'll probably have had my fix by the time it comes out...

I wanted the game as well. I was going to buy it on the PS3, but decided playing on that OLED screen and being able to play it on the go would be better. Now, I'll past if/when it's released.

I wouldn't give Saga's reason that much credence. I'd say this is a smart move to be honest. This game isn't a console seller and so it's wiser to delay it and allow the console sellers to expand your market over Christmas. A bigger install base will improve your chances of selling well and (from a gamers perspective) guarantee long term support from Saga. We win, they win.

why doesn't it work on both PS3 and Vita seriously ?
It's the same game same trophies same everything

I don't know if you have noticed, but ever since Sony announced Cross-buy, there have been a few delays to either the console version or the portable version. Some of them coincide with good reasons for the delay. But it could also deal with the fact they don't want to take part of the cross buy. Which isn't a problem, because its not being forced on them.

As posted above its about the money.

Ahh nostalgia.. I could not put this gem down along with shenmue back in the day.

Boooo. I was really looking forward to get this. Hope this doesn't foreshadow the status of Zone of the Enders HD for PSV.

Wait, wasn't it delayed until today so now their delaying it again?...

Necessary optimization. That and October is filled with alot of vita games. Seeing as its delayed, it'll have more of a chance of being bought.

Didn't know it's out for xbox yet. might have to grab it. I only played it for like 3-4 hours back in the day on Dreamcast but I remember it being really fun.
