I would drop handheld gaming all together. I'll Just worry about home consoles from them. They did it with the PSP GO and that might be hurting them now. I never had a PSP Go, so, it never affected me. I doubt they would drop handheld game anyway. Don't they have a studio or 2, dedicated to handheld gaming alone?

All I know is that if this were to happen, then your sealed PS Vitas that you bought for $250 will be worth a wholleee lot more money in a few years. I think the PS Vita would see its biggest sales spike from people trying to scavenge money by selling it for a profit lol.

Iam thinking of geting the vita . I hope sony dont stop makeing it,

Nothing would happen, but it doesn't matter because this is most likely Sony's last handheld and Nintendo will soon denigrate with Smartphones devouring their market at a steady rate

The Vita is bleeding all of the profit they are making on the PS3.

Not happening. Best handheld yet. Also, if someone is saying that vita doesn't have games, and 3ds has, then they are flat out lying. 2013 has more big vita games than 3ds ones, in both japan and overseas. That even though sony hasn't even released the latter 2013 schedule whereas ninty announces its games years before.

everyone in the forum would go crazy and than you'll make a thread about it called " an unbiased jaywood2010 review of why sony stopped making the vita"

People would not be happy lol..

I'm still considering a Vita myself, but I can tell you that I expect a long life span of the system, maybe 7+ years. After this long gen of consoles I expect my systems to last longer then just a year.

To spend $250-$300+ on a hand held system only to have production halted just over a year on the market would create a rather massive backlash and quite a few people would lose faith in Sony.

IF it happened it wouldn't have much effect. Nintendo are fearful of smart phones and want to continue a strong lineup because of that. The handheld market has changed and it isn't just dedicated handhelds as competition anymore but I say the more game devices on the market the better.

For sony it would effect the lineup of their consoles much better because all the vita games would be transferred to ps3/ps4.

Sony needs to dedicate their money to three major exclusives for the Vita.
