I think that the Vita will be discontinued on 2015. Reasons are many, but to make it short. It is a system that doesn't provide exclusive and unique content. It wouldn't sell well even if its price were $129.


That's a stupid idea. Why would Sony discountinue a console that is halfway through by then? If I recall correctly, the Vita's attach rate is so high thatt average Vita owners spend A LOT of money on the software available. So I'm convinced they're not selling the thing at a loss.


Disagree. I'm pretty confident that they lose money with every Vita, that's why they force people to buy their expensive memory cards. Also, all the games in the Vita sell very bad, less than a million, which is a very good reason for Third-Parties to stop making games for it since there is no profit in making a new game like CoD or AC.

It's an endless cycle. People don't buy the Vita because there are no AAA games. Third-Parties don't make games for the Vita because it won't sell well. Sony don't make AAA games for the Vita because they need to focus in the PS4.

Hell, even the PS4 is getting more AAA games this year and it's being released on November.    


Vita is earning them money. Not enough to get the R&D money back anytime soon, but it is giving a slow and steady flow of cash. Considering the R&D money is already spent, it would be stupid to kill the platform instead of letting it earn what little money it earns.



Wii U is a GCN 2 - I called it months before the release!

My Vita to-buy list: The Walking Dead, Persona 4 Golden, Need for Speed: Most Wanted, TearAway, Ys: Memories of Celceta, Muramasa: The Demon Blade, History: Legends of War, FIFA 13, Final Fantasy HD X, X-2, Worms Revolution Extreme, The Amazing Spiderman, Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate - too many no-gaemz :/

My consoles: PS2 Slim, PS3 Slim 320 GB, PSV 32 GB, Wii, DSi.
