"No," Sony said with indifference in its voice. "Now it ends."

fixed

 

[Black Republican]

my Vita tv is pretty much my Valkyria Chronicles 2/ Zero/ Danganronpa machine anyways


i have no regrets!

 

[AzureSkies]

Suddenly i feel an urge to buy the Blue Vita 2000.

Spoiler

I've owned a 1000 since close to launch

 

[WickedLaharl]

The vita has been in a vegetative state outside of japan for years now. it's about time to old yeller it.

 

[Corto]

I need to buy a new model then.

 

[Tarin02543]

quick, someone needs to find out which games are the most rare.

 

[jjonez18]

In the Sonylands? Vita's on its last.

 

[Justified]

 

[2+2=5]

It's weird, there's the demand but sony says no, ok, but the article also says that other countries are still getting shipments, Netherlands is the only exception, why?

 

[Saoshyant]

I wish the memory card prices would finally crash, but if anything, they will likely stay the same and then slowly go up two years from now.

 

[Logash]

I lol'd

 

[Celine]

they responded with an evasive answer and they've "nothing to say" about the PS Vita.

That's what Sony always said almost from the beginning when asked about PSV.

 

[Occam]

It's weird, there's the demand but sony says no, ok, but the article also says that other countries are still getting shipments, Netherlands is the only exception, why?

Obviously because the Dutch didn't appreciate Vita enough.

 

[JamesAR15]

It's a shame, I absolutely love my OG Vita and play it everyday at work. I think I may have to buy a 2000 model just to have a replacement on hand.

 

[Linkark07]

"No," Sony said with Sadness in his voice. "Now it ends."

Of all the feelings in the world, doubt it would be sadness coming from Sony.

truly the dreamcast of handhelds

 

[sechsterangriff]

truly the dreamcast of handhelds

I seem to have a thing for "underdog" systems. Betting on the "wrong horse" since the Saturn lol

No regrets though!

 

[Heartfyre]

When I was living abroad (in the Netherlands, coincidentally) the Vita was my primary gaming platform for a time, and in that capacity, it was a wonderful device. Played so much P4 Golden, Uncharted: Golden Abyss, Shovel Knight, Hotline Miami 2, and many more games on it. Having played both the 1000 and the 2000, I found the latter to be the superior device for its greatly streamlined form factor and the lack of a yellow tint on the screen. It's sad to see it dwindle, but I'm so glad for what it has been. I'll still get many hours out of it yet.

 

[mpafighter]

Wasn't there a rumor going around a couple weeks ago that Sony also discontinued the PSTV (Vita TV)?

 

[kennyamr]

I'm telling ya, the PSP2 (PS4P) is coming.

Spoiler

 

[graboids]

A sad day for Vita Island

Kinda...

truly the dreamcast of handhelds

Pfft I wish it had the library of the Dreamcast..

 

[Goro Majima]

Really hope NX has a matching dedicated handheld because proper handhelds with buttons are great for travel or when the girlfriend is sleeping or watching TV. I'd rather that they didn't all die off entirely.

The whole oft rumored dual development of the NX really appealed to me.

 

[sono]

There are not enough tissues where I am for my tears

 

[ThoughtsOfSpeaking]

It was pretty obvious that the Vita was going to be EOL by Xmas 2016. Its had a good run but at this point its 4 years old. The only reason it being phased out is anyway significant is because we know it wont be getting a successor.

 

[Vashetti]

[kirby_cholo]

awebo, triunfó el mal.

 

[Alpende]

€ 419,95

It's not being sold by them directly though.

 

[Funyarinpa]

Pfft I wish it had the library of the Dreamcast..

dunno about you but it has 4 of my 5 favorite games in its library and I don't lose my love for a game because it ain't exclusive to my system of choice, so for me it has the best library ever

 

[Gaardus]

Wasn't there a rumor going around a couple weeks ago that Sony also discontinued the PSTV (Vita TV)?

Not a rumor.

My buddy is a manager at eb games here in Toronto, Canada.

He says that they have never sold a single blue vita slim. He still has his original stock.

I told him to let me know when they go on clearance

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Another reminder for everybody to stock up on Vita's while they have the chance. I grabbed my OLED before it was too late.

Have you?

I own a launch Vita and I love it. If I get spare money, I'll buy the revision Vita for safekeeping.

 

[Logash]

Of all the feelings in the world, doubt it would be sadness coming from Sony.

True enough but it's a Game of Thrones (The book not show) quote and I didn't want to change it too much. Although, correcting it like the guy above amused me

 

[TheSeks]

Oh yeah, PSP3 at E3 confirmed.

After how Sony did with the PSP2? Fat chance of that.

 

[heringer]

Pfft I wish it had the library of the Dreamcast..

It easily trumps the overrated Dreamcast lineup.

 

[DXB-KNIGHT]

Don't worry, they're just gearing up for the reveal of their next handheld.

Spoiler

:c

Vita 1080?

 

[diaspora]

The bigger news is they had Vita shipments at all. I don't see them at a lot of Canadian retailers.

 

[PetulantChild]

Clearly planning on revealing the Vita4k soon. Standard memory card Is 10Gb and additional storage will only cost you 4 easy payments of $49.99.

 

[……forgetit]

Think Sony are really making a mistake with this. Release a new SKU with a standard slot for an SD memory card throw in a couple of games and they'd sell shit loads. The Vita could well make a comeback but Sony yet again giving up on something that's not an immediate success. Disappointing.

It's 4 year old hardware. It's massively outdated, has zero momentum and is basically a non-facor outside of Japan. Nothing could make the thing sell imo. Just coast on what's left and then let it die.

 

[007]

I own a launch Vita and I love it. If I get spare money, I'll buy the revision Vita for safekeeping.

I originally bit the bullet on the Japanese value packs (red and blue with a 16gb card), then saw an OG value pack and had to grab it too. Japan gets all the cool colors.

Clearly planning on revealing the Vita4k soon. Standard memory card Is 10Gb and additional storage will only cost you 4 easy payments of $49.99.

Don't forget the new "Sony Price Plan" package so you can afford a 128gb memory card by making a down payment of your firstborn son, along with £499.

Vita 2 confirmed.

Hopefully they'll devote their resources on something more sensible.

 

[eFKac]

Ehh Sony played it well, the slow phasing out meant that there weren't really any fire sales to get one cheap.

 

[Shinriji]

Hopefully they'll devote their resources on something more sensible.

VR?

Spoiler

lol

 

[spannicus]

Hope they still port indies to the thing

 

[spons]

VR?

Spoiler

lol

Xperia Play 2.

 

[funkystudent]

Played the Vita more then any handheld I have ever owned.


A shame the support, both from 3rd parties and from Sony wasnt really there. Plus the overpriced memory cards knee capping the system.


Great little indie machine / portable PS1.

 

[Velkyn]

Goodnight, sweet prince.

I'll still play the hell out of mine, since I have about 20-ish PSP and PS1 games installed. Kinda sad to not see any new games for it in the future, though. Absolutely don't regret my purchase.

 

[roytheone]

Sad to see it go it was a great handheld that suffered from a lack of support. So much potential we will never see realized

On a related note: please release the handheld NX this year Nintendo, I need a new handheld!
