Sony insists Vita is here to stay - as an indie/kiddie game platform

But PS4 has a more noteworthy library of games and always had promising library down the road.

Sony put some noteworthy games on Vita early on, but they've clearly given up. Now they're telling people the upcoming library is basically just ports of indie games and other niche stuff.

Late ports of noteworthy games can still move some hardware. It would also be a bigger effort than we're currently seeing from Sony.

Their latest big budget games such as Tearaway and Killzone didn't sell well. Especially Tearaway did terrible and it was a great game. While everyone is dissappointed that they stopped supporting it so early on, making more big budget games for it would just throwing money away. If people were buying Tearaway and Killzone (both of which are very high quality games), they would still continue making them.  They also don't really move hardware. Vita sales were horrible for a long, long time.

I think late ports of noteworth games on Vita are worth doing. Making big budget exclusives for Vita would be a waste.

Either way, it doesn't matter. Sony is clearly fine with the Vita fading into obscurity.
