Well its clear Sony has little interest in supporting it based on upcoming 1st party software.

However, keeping it around and letting 3rd parties support it probably doesn't cost Sony much and keeps fans happy.

They are supporting it..   Just the purpose of the device has changed. The main functions for the Vita going forward are 1.) PS4 Remote Play and 2.) PlayStation Now. 3.) Indie Portable system. 

The Vita ultimately becomes a PS4 peripheral device. By X-mas we could see the it selling for $149 (non bundle)...  Hopefully we see a PS4/Vita bundle for $549 with games etc..   First part AAA games on the Vita don't make a huge amount of sense. People don't want to pay $30-$40 for PS Vita games. I think there will be a good life for the device. With mobile gaming on smartphones taking away the "casual" gamer who bought PSP and Nintendo's handhelds this seems a better route for the PS Vita.
