"Not in the business for highres nextgen ports," PES European community manager Adam Bhatti wrote on Twitter. "We can't and shouldn't do that. Bad habit etc.

"So the fact we're not on PS4/Xbone with PES 2014 is simple. We can't and shouldn't be just using higher quality textures etc should be new.

"In the past people accused us of being lazy. We're adamant of not making the same mistakes, and making sure we create amazing football games.

"It's hardly amazing making the nextgen version prettier. We shouldn't have that mentality, and you shouldn't expect that. Aim higher.

"I'm a gamer like you, can't wait for nextgen, so I feel your pain. But once u see #PES2014 in action, that pain will disappear. It's stunning."

Bhatti said Konami was making a PSP version "because there's still demand for it", but claimed that "the install base isn't great" for Vita.
