The extremely interesting Cross Buy system presented by Sony at last week’s Gamescom 2012 might be exclusive only to European customers, at least according to the boss of its Worldwide Studios, Shuhei Yoshida.

Sony took a huge step in making its PlayStation Vita more attractive last week by presenting the Cross Buy system, which gives PS3 owners who get a game for their console a free copy of the title for the PlayStation Vita.

The system supports upcoming titles like PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale, Ratchet & Clank: QForce (aka Full Frontal Assault) or Sly Cooper 4.

Sadly, at least according to Sony’s Worldwide Studios boss Shuhei Yoshida who talked with Japanese magazine Famitsu, via Andriasang, the Cross Buy system is just for European customers.

The situation might be temporary, but Sony has yet to offer an official statement concerning the service for territories like North America or Asia.
