no why should sony end the playstation vita? would you of really said this about the ps3 in 2007/8 or xbox 360 in 2005/6? its just slow progress, these systems didn't sell well cos they were expensive and had few games. this soon changed for ps3 in 2009 when it got better support and a big price cut, the same will likely happen for the ps vita


At their worst points, the Xbox 360 and PS3 were still selling a lot better than the PSP Vita. It's almos half a year old now and has yet to sell 2 million units.



I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.

It doesn't change the fact that it officially got released 6 months ago though!

Well to be fair it only released in japan six monts ago. The system is only three months old in in NA and EMAA.

ANd for the Topic: What a stupid nonsens topic. Really. Just wait after e3, gamescom and tokio game show.

Right now the only issue of the vita is the lack of good games. But that can chance.

Why should Sony ditch the vita? They have in vestet million in the vita, there games, there marketing and now they will ditch it because it doesnt sell 5 million plus in its first three months?
They would rather cut the price and make the cash back with the games then leaving all the portable market for nintendo.Hell let it rain brains guys. If thats so than they have should ditchet the PS3 as well.

It's too early to talk about ditching the Vita.
...
I'll be back in eight months.

Ah, the mantra of Vita fans "Just give it x more months" =P

Vita needs unique games, with appeal and produced specifically for it. And they need to be properly advertised. It should be OK when it starts getting those.
Like many have said, making console games for the Vita is a counterproductive strategy, because we want to play those games on a big screen.
