But I agree, they will be forced to discontinue it if the holiday sales are poor

Vita too

Nah. Vita is profitable, especially in Japan, where only 3DS sales better. Companies making Vita games get outstanding profits there, far exceeding their expectations. There is no way it's gonna be discontinued, especially now when the West gets remote play.

Disagree. I don't think Sony will discontinue the Vita but I doubt that it makes them alot of money if any at all. We'll see what remote play can do, but I wouldn't be totally surprised if Sony at least dropped all western support for that thing.

I'm not saying Vita makes Sony alot of money, but it does to the Japanese developers. In Japan multiplat games sell better on Vita than they do on PS3 or PSP!! For Sony it's slightly profitable, nothing to write poems about, but it's not generating loses. Considering that, it's just a matter of time when profits become bigger. Killing it makes no sense at all. It's better to let it generate a small stream of income in the West, and a decent one in Japan, than starting a sh!tstorm, which would cause harm to your most faithful userbase.

One thing is certain. Remote play is a long term strategy for Vita. On top of that, Sony opening studios which only task is the localisation of Japanese games is another argument that Vita isn't going anywhere. I also hope that once PS4 settles as the dominant force of next gen, Sony starts pumping games for Vita, cause a turn on this front is still possible.
