Vita is done, it is continually loosing support for applications, and Sony is slowly draining it of features. It is not getting any updates to tie it into the new PSN like PS4 and the smartphone apps.

The future of Sony handhelds I think is very interesting though. I believe we will see Sony release a handheld/phone hybrid in the next couple of years. It will be fully compatible with all of the PS4 ecosystem. This will give it a huge bank of applications and games from day one, and not require it to sell blazes out of the gate.

With Kaz sayong smartphones are lacking in innovation, and Sony trying to create its own OS and Ecosystem with PS4 and PSN, I think the writing is on the wall, and they want to slowly exit the current smartphone market, and try to innovate their way into the next wave of mobile craze.

Did the Vita ever get "real" support for applications besides the obvious like Netflix? As for future handhelds, they already tried the "game/phone hybrid" with the Xperia Play, so I doubt they'll bother with that again.
