"Do you think the Vita then will be getting fewer first-party games, I asked.

"I would say, yes, that's correct," Yoshida said."

There you have it folks.  From Sony's mouth that they don't give two shits about the Vita.  Anyone who doesn't have one.  Ignore the system because you'll just be throwing money away.

I think the next portable Sony releases, if they do release one, is going to bomb harder than the Vita, because people are going to be wary about purchasing it again when they can't count on Sony giving the system they've purchased for hundreds of dollars any support other than cheap indie games that are usually poor experiences.  If they do release another, I'm going to wait until there's a minimum of 10 games that are true exclusives that I'm interested in.

No Kupo... there is no next time for Sony. Ps Vita is their last gaming portable device, and it's for the better.

They are freaking Done with a dedicated Game handheld, playstation Portable will be software and network software distribution onto smartphones and Tablets you want physical controls? Bluetooth Game Pads are going to be the Solution, I think Sony is fed up with it and for Good reason. Moving the Playstation Vita to be a Micro- Game Console gets the Playstation Vita as a platform out from under the Nintendo DEDICATED GAME HANDHELD Shadow! just look at this and other game boards about how many threads and talk about how dead the PSVita is vs the Nintendo handhelds..but Nvidia Shield, or Now how about the valve steamboy when it releases. and shows once again no other company can grow handheld market share against Nintendo in a sizeable chunk.

What Sony is doing about the platform is pretty Smart if no one is really set to give the system a chance developers and consumer's alike vs Nintendo, than atleast moving the platform to a Micro- Game console front atleast can gather the system some d@mn support as a Micro-playstation living room game console where Nintendo and Microsoft do not have a Micro-Living room game console..only real platform in the Micro Game console front with large sales numbers is the OUYA.
