Is this a joke? Vitas a dud. Third parties supporting it is just more proof of a biased agenda regarding Nintendo. Not that it matters as the 3DS is dominating. But it is curious. The guy said developing for vita ruined him financially. What idiot would choose an installed base of 7m over 3DS'?

Well I've heard that there still studios doing ports for Wii U. Once you know that it doesn't sound as crazy.

Not sure what Wii U has to do with this. You probably have me confused with a Wii U supporter. Of which I'm not one. Vita is not a sound business investment. Sony doesn't have the first party muscle to drive hardware. This system will continue to sputter through the gen. And I doubt there will be a vita successor.

I don't think all is bad for Vita. Yes, it soldworse in it's second year, compared with the first. But Sony was able to save it somewhat in Japan. The Vita has nearly doubled it's sales in 2013 in Japan, compared to 2012. Yes, that means it's very bad in europe and the US, but Sony could go for the strategy to concentrate on one market. And to some degree it's working. The Vita is getting support from Japanese 3rd-parties. Not the best, true enough, but it should be enough to help the Vita survive in Japan alone and build from that a base for the next gen.
