o: I thought it was arguable that the 1st version Vitas were better due to the OLED screen...

When has Vita ever had a good E3? At this point calling it by name is a solid E3...

Exactly. I have the first Vita, which if I'm reading his somewhat confusing statement right, means I have a legacy Vita. The newer LED models are not legacy

I don't doubt it. Andrew house himself said that the Vita is still selling in Asia. It's bazaar how people misinterpreted his previous statement when it's obvious how it's in Sony's best interest to continue the production of the Vita, because while the market is still small, 3rd party Japanese developers are still supporting it. And stopping that prematurely could hurt their reputation.

What's the difference between the Vit with OLED and the one without it, exactly?

There's something I find odd about calling this version a 'legacy' version. Why are they now calling different versions of essentially the same console, but a newer version, a 'legacy' console. I just find that odd. Now they're dividing their consoles into sub groups or something...? Does that main the original 3DS is a legacy model too..?

Vita only fans will be satisfied with indies cross platform titles; based on some people on this site. 

OLED is a much higher quality screen. LED is standard everywhere, but I hear OLED gives better and more vibrant colors and makes things sharper. Newer models are thinner, have LED, and have a slightly better battery life (removable battery I heard too). Plus the originals dont come with a memory card while new models usually come with 1gig

1. Write statement
2. Check statement
3. Publish statement

One of these went horribly wrong.

No idea. I believe it's just PR BS to calm down the masses It was a way of avoiding a shit storm, otherwise they'd be attacked for killing it off even though only 3rd party has supported it the past 3 years
