I just can't see the Vita dropping off the market any time soon, and here's why: Sony simply won't let that happen.

They have invested too much in it to admit defeat and let it die. They might hurt its sales by holding off on a price cut, but they'll stubbornly continue to support it.

And it probably won't come to that; AC:L, COD, bundling and the holiday boost will most likely turn its fortunes around.

Why are scaled-down versions of titles on home consoles going to turn the fortunes around for the Vita?  If someone can play Call of Duty at home, with their multiplayer stats and leveling there, why would suddenly the portable version be of interest?

Because you can't play the console versions of Assassin's Creed 3 or Black Ops on the bus/train, or on your lunch break, or on holidays.


True, but statistically most handheld gaming is done in ones own home. With great games on portables that are cheap and growing in the amount of publishers supporting it, Vita is looking more and more like something that does not offer as much. My mobile can play great games and go with me anywhere. I see little room for portables outside of phones and tablets very soon. The only region that might save it is Japan. People should not be surprised if it goes the way of the Dreamcast.
