I was banned for 3 days, because I said the Vita is dead and I don't want to get banned again, but I don't see any positive news for it.
Sony basically skipped it at E3 and even the most vocal and hardcore Sony fans on VGC just ignore it as if it never released. It is selling 5k a week in the USA. And Sonys own forecast is like 4 million globally for the entire year. That is just horrible.

Do you think Sony might discontinue it afterall?

Wii U and Vita are close to death after all... anybody that said otherwise is blind.

Can happen some miracle to save them? Of couse... miracles can do everything lol... but the chances are below 10% to that happen... for Vita is even worst because it is at more time in the market.

The latest Sony hope is that Vita started to be used for Remote Play... so PS4 have a slight chance to save it but I don't believe.

The main difference is that The Wii U will have a pretty cool software lineup coming up.

Mario Kart
3D Mario
Zelda
Metroid
full pokemon

will move some hardware at least. Sure the Wii U will never be a Wii, but I would not call the Wii U close to death when these titles aren't releases yet.

Sony does not even have an IP that could move any hardware for a handheld.
