Kaz Hirai is at it again.

Happy 5th Birthday PS Vita! We are celebrating this important milestone by discontinuing PlayStation Now support for the device!

I laugh in Sony's general direction.

So how long until the rest of Playstation Now is shut down? I give it a maximum of 2 years since its pretty clear it isn't doing well (and thank god it appears to a flop)

Frankly, I'm not surprised. The business model isn't good.

Maybe now Sony can start focusing energy into real backwards compatibility.

PS Vita is getting less and less support by Sony....  

I've played a couple titles from ps now on the Vita and the kids usually did it with the PS3. When I played it it was usually the the PS4. I understand Sony focusing the services on devices that are future proof like PC and PS4. I hope though that eventually ps now can get rolled up in your ps plus account for free.

By real backwards compatibility you mean none right? 

I am willing to bet that PS Plus support for the Vita will end soon.

This is the strangest decision. The main point of PlayStation Now is surely to expand your potential install base, they should be adding devices (phones/tablets) not ditching them.
