It's a shame but handheld gaming in general is dying and not just vita. I do hope by the time Nintendo launches another handheld, they fix their garbage account system and if Sony decides to bailout, the small japanese devs move towards 4ds and not mobile T_T


I was thinking this exact thing some time ago...

Sony is basically out of the handheld market since 2013, as a matter of fact. Yes, they made some HD remakes and indies and Sony Japan is still trying with Freedom Wars, but, from a worldwide politic point of view, Sony has already bailed out.

This leaves the future of the dedicated handhelds back to the monopoly of Nintendo, and we must hope that the eventual 4DS, or whatever its name will be, will attract some serious/adult/seinen game developers. Because if the future of Nintendo is still more Mario, more Pokemon and more Tomodachi with better graphics and region locking, I will galdly save my money. Because, as it is, to me 3DS is even worse than Vita. Vita has been abandoned, and it's sad, but hyper-supported 3DS doesn't have a single game that interests me, except perhaps Zelda: A Link Between Worlds, but a single game doesn't make a game library.
