100% exactly, why would Sony themselves pull early and kill the only real Living room entertainment Hub extender Handheld device built from the ground up for living room extended games , when Sony has invested so much into streaming, and remote access functionality? 

Many keep saying Sony will pull the PSVita off the shelves, and that has been said even last year, and yet here we are still here the PSVita despite not selling as well as the Nintendo 3DS there are the retail stores are still reordering more PSVita's!

Nintendo is #1 place by a wide margin in the dedicated handheld space, but the blunt truth is Sony is still the 2nd largest market share holder in dedicated handheld game systems space! the Wikipad, the Archos Game Pad, hell even the Nvidia shield come no where near close to Sony's market share %.

So many still seem to think that the 2nd place market share holder in this part of the handheld game system market is going to up and quit on the PSVita?

Sony invested way too much to pull the product, after the cost's involved in GaiKai, remote play investment, playstation Mobile,PSVita TV and also setting up a indie Pub fund, and that they are just going to up and Quit all that and let that investment go to waste?

1st thing's 1st, the ps4 games can be streamed to the PSVita by local, and by over the internet, add in Playstation Now to the mix, add in playstation Mobile Game's. why would  the majority of the largest  3rd party's invest into making an exclusive for the psvita right now, when the most cost effective point now is just make it for the PS4 the PSVita and the PSVita TV will pretty much get the game by default. Hey it works for microsoft ; example with TitanFall aslo on the PC and the xbox360 many on here still count it as a Microsoft exclusive! 

So now the PSVita will be able to run PS1,PS2,PSP,PS3,PS4 AND Playstation Mobile Games and PSVita games on one Handheld.

the mere fact is right now the unity 3d game engine was just made ready to use for the PSVita now, and since the PSVita also has the same GPU that the iPad 3 has but with a faster clock rate and a hell of alot of dedicated video ram, the PSVita can get ports from the iOS and Android App store for a much lower cost of investment.

its a waiting game that the PSVita is more than viable to handle any and every freaking game or app that would be released on Apple's and Google's app store for the next 5 to 8 years anyway. because no other handheld has 128 MB of dedicated GPU  video ram other than the PSVita, that means the platform was not just made for the here and now it was made for the market like a living room game console is but for the mobile market. no other mobile handheld device will be able to out perform in gaming against the PSVita unless Nintendo wants to loose a boat load of money on their handhelds. by then the PSVita will still be cheaper and the network would be more robust.

the Nintendo 3DS has 6 MB of dedicated GPU ram for its PICA 200 GPU, Nintendo sold the handheld for quick profit why would they disrupt that design of charging higher premium for lower COST HARDWARE  investment.?

Sony and Nintendo did not set the handheld systems to the same market in the same way:

Sony:

is taking a PARTICIPATORY APPROACH TO PLANNING WITH EVERY PLAYSTATION AND IT SHOWS BOTH WITH THE PSVITA, THE PS4 AND THE NETWORK THEY ARE INVESTING INTO.

after the market viability perception of Sony handhelds after the PSP, just look at the PSPGo, than the Xperia Play, Now the PSVita, many consumer felt Sony's support for the PSP was lack luster, and both the PSPGo and the Xperia Play was seen as a direct and utter flop, so further erosion of the perception of a Playstation Game handheld, add in smartphones and even Tablets it was not going to ever be in any way shape or form an easy climb for Sony. but Sony did not want to be the only company out of the big three without a living room extension platform, Nintendo has the WiiU game pad, Microsoft has Smartglass, and Sony has the PSVita. now out of all three companies who has invested more resources into making remote access and remote play with a very real and evident step toward really making sure your living room game console entertainment  can be taken on the go over the internet or local network.

Its clear all three have to some extent . Add in Google, Apple, samsung, Time Warner, At&t with Uverse, all have remote access to your content via a living room box to your handheld. An People think Sony would have no choice but to pull the PSVita?

even if its only 50,000 units or less a week, its still 50,000 units of a handheld @ over $150.00+

Its one thing ;is  if the retail chains do not order again, but until that happens the PSVita is still being distributed into the market. Sony has no real reason to pull it when they invested so much into the network's that make the most use out of the PSVita anyway. Not just to sell games and app's but also invest into a functionality of remote access to that content of your living room, why invest into Playstation Now only for one of their platforms?

which pretty much every content creative company is doing so already. Saying Sony is going to pull that platform without forced retail revoke of such platform is pretty silly idea at this point.
