Kyle at the Vita Lounge has done a write up of the "Legacy Platform" thing which does make sense:
http://thevitalounge.net/2015/06/01/rumours-of-my-demise-have-been-greatly-exaggerated-again/
Basically, this debacle all boils down to the fact that Andrew House – the current president and group CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment – said this at the Sony IR Day 2015 event, during the Game and Network Services Segment (about 3 minutes in);
“We had an increase in some fixed expenses, notably around our network platform – and as you’re all aware, we took a write-off against some of our components for legacy platforms.”
So the "Damage control" over the use of the term legacy platforms wasn't necessarily wrong. Especially as they were referring purely to write downs when referencing. It's been taken out of context to say Sony now considers it dead. (There was a lot of stuff where apparently he'd said outside of Japan it was a legacy platform, it sounds like this has been Chinese whispers?"
However, that doesn't alter the fact that Sony haven't really properly supported the Vita since Tearaway released in 2013.
