SN Systems, the developing group responsible for the dev tools kit, took notice of the developing issues for the PS3 when it first launched, and since "thought about how developers pick it up and how they got started" when they started working on Vita.

According to SN Systems director Andy Beveridge, "We love the technology, so confronted with something like PS3, the first thing we think is 'how are we going to support debugging all of those SPUs, and how are developers going to use them?'."

One might consider that the PS3 was the trial and error model for the PS Vita considering the initial difficulties they had with it. "[On] the PS3 tools, that is the direction we went, and we dded support for all the intricate hardware. The fancier it was, the more diagnostics we could show developers, and the more they could interact with. That can be different from what some developers coming to a platform would expect."

They've learned their lessons definitely now, though, thanks to the feedback they've had from the PS3 experience the past five years, and now they'ev come up with a more accessible development tool kit for the Vita.

Sony had previously guaranteed that they will be making sure that they come up with just as much titles on the PS Vita as they did with the PS3.
