I wouldn't say it confirms it, they could always try again,but will they? that's the question

I remember a time when I thought connectivity between Vita and PS3/PS4 might renew interest in the system and potentially snowball it into a success. Streaming console games onto a handheld, using the second screen in a Wii U fashion, etc. Everyone dreamed about crazy cool connection stuff and bundles containing both systems and all sorts of stuff. But I guess that just didn't happen.

At this point I think they'd be insane to. The decline between the 7th gen handhelds and 8th gen handhelds is pretty staggering.

The strange part is, game announcements seem to be ramping up on the thing from 3rd parties. Physical Sword Art Online: Lost Song western physical release in particular has taken me by surprise today.



RIP Dad 25/11/51 - 13/12/13. You will be missed but never forgotten.

How much did Do? Freedom Wars? I think it did at least half the goal.

So I guess you can figure PSTV now being dead as well now.


It was going for like $40 at gamestop. 



It's been a legacy platform since November 2013 when Tearaway released.

Yeah but that leaves no competition for Nintendo in the handheld market. Competition is a godo thing :(

Am I the only one that thinks its a sad state of affairs?
That mobiles kill the handhelds? I dont get why the vita doesnt sell more (apart from its price), its a great system.
