Calling this an admission that the Vita is dead is like calling a death certificate an admission that a piece of roadkill is dead. It might make it all official sounding but the fact it's dead and even the cause are self evident. I've personally always found it funny that Sony entered the Handheld market. Nintendo had already given wedgies to numerous other competitors before.

I don't know, one generation Sony could strike gold and have circusmtances conspire in their favor and finally sell better than a Nintendo handheld. Look at Nintendo for example, they got that one chance to top Sony, at least for once, in what has been a complete and continious dominance of PlayStation consoles over Nintendo's.

Never give up!

The difference is Nintendo has the arsenal to combat Sony and has from the start.  They just keep falling on their face for no good reason other than someone keeps tying their shoe laces together when they aren't looking before each gen's race starts.  Sony, on the other hand has no and hasn't had any exclusive franchises to contend with Nintendo's exclusive offerings on handhelds and long experience constructing handheld experiences.  Sony got lucky to do as well as they did with the PSP.  It would take an absurdly, extraordinarily stupid screw up from Nintendo to make the contest even interesting.
