So while shopping several places this weekend, I checked out the gaming section. Not gaming stores - but big box retail (Wal-mart, Best Buy, etc).
I noticed this: you really can't buy the 360, PS3, Wii or Vita consoles anymore at local retail. There's still a good number of 360 and PS3 games available. A few Wii games too.
The Vita is particularly sad shape though. Other than a demo unit next to the demo PS4, there's no evidence of the Vita's existence. Honestly, you may have a better shot of buying new original DS games and consoles than the Vita here in the American midwest.
PS4 and X1 are of course stronger than ever. 3DS selection is very vibrant too. There's a glut of WiiU games and a few WiiU consoles. Probably a few too many WiiU games for a system that will be totally replaced by March. I'd guess the last few WiiUs out to sell through the holiday.
RIP 7th gen. Farewell Vita. Good luck WiiU.
I predict NX launches in 2017 - not 2016
