We're all concerned about how dead it is. Pretty much means that handhelds are going away.

Btw Sony 2006 is not Sony 2013. Sony 2006 could afford to take losses on their hardware. Sony 2013 can't. They shouldn't kill it for fear of losing customer trust, but no one can deny it's in critical condition. 

You also have to consider the fact that Nintendo seriously wants to outright kill this thing, they don't want to give up anymore of a increasingly smaller market. They're playing hardball and Sony doesn't have the $$ to keep up.

has the dedicated PDA gone away? That answer is no! the same with dedicated handhelds, tell me something this article has stated that has not already been said about the PSVita in one shape or form already 1000 times. for a dead platform it sure is getting alot of Press, some may say Bad press, but with Sony pretty much that is all they have been getting even with some good news the doubt about Sony's viablility in the Market or pretty much any market has been bad, and rightly so. but on the same token Like i stated after a while it's just beating a dead Horse, right now it's like keeping Sony in the lime light and giving them free press. for a dead platform that is a good thing not a bad, because the more people keep saying it's "dead" but still stay's in the Media, the more is asked about if it's so dead why talk about it? you have to wonder is it really a negative if people still keep talking about it if it's dead and no one really cares about the product in the first place.

and like you stated:

"You also have to consider the fact that Nintendo seriously wants to outright kill this thing, they don't want to give up anymore of a increasingly smaller market. They're playing hardball and Sony doesn't have the $$ to keep up."

If Sony right now is selling 10+ million xperia smart devices every three months right now, do you really think Sony is that worried about if the PSVita sales at the pace of the 3DS?  would Sony like for it to sell at that Pace you betcha, but the fact that smartphones and Tablets are the market leader in Mobile right now its like in Sony's in house sales its over 10:1 in the leader of xperia over PSVita..Sony knows exactly where the market is heading, do people think after the PSVita that Sony has a hurry to make yet another dedicated game handheld?

we will be lucky if Sony even makes a re design of the PSVita.
