The store will remain, but no new games will be released after July.

Honestly, they treated this system so horribly, and then made this final decision in the absolute worst way possible.

Pay attention. Games were still being made and released on the store. Games were still in development when the first announcement was made, and developers found out at the same time that we did. And after that Sony flip flops on the decision twice. Many games have had to be canceled because of all this.

I seriously forgot the Vita was a thing. I've never seen one, or heard of anyone owning one. It's like the N-Gage in that way.

Why would anyone be selling games on the fucking Vita? Put it on Steam, the Switch, the phone. What's wrong with them? How do you convince yourself the Vita is the best place to sell your video game?

at least in japan it is/was a pretty popular console for some more niche VN titles. but here in NA i can't even remember the last time i saw a vita in person

tbh, the Vita was a spectacular failure. Then even their PSTV couldn't save it.

I really liked having two joysticks and I wish that the 3DS did it. Honestly two joysticks does way more for me than two screens and 3D. Yet the 3DS was so much more popular. It's really a sad thing. I would've loved to have played more games on it. There just wasn't much there for me that was only on the Vita. Hardware wise, I like the Vita way more. But I found way more games on the 3DS.

On one hand, this is extremely unfair to studios that were developing Vita games that had every reason to believe they'd be able to release those games, who may never be able to recover what they invested into those products that will have to be cancelled. They absolutely should have had more notice of that, and it is very wrong of Sony to keep this information from them (presumably so it wouldn't leak and hurt their share prices).

On the other hand, though, I really question why anyone would be developing a Vita exclusive later than about 2016. It's been extremely obvious for several years now that the system was never going to amass a significant install base, so developing anything with any commercial value for it was inevitably going to be a waste of time. As much as they're victims of Sony's poor communication, I can't help but feel like starting those games was a bad idea in the first place.

The system has a very dedicated user base to this day. At this point anyone still making games for it knows exactly what they're getting into, and typically does okay by the standards they've set. Nobody has any delusions of incredible wealth and fame. That's all to say nothing of games that are multuplatform, where not much work is actually required. But even in those cases a loss is still a loss.

I still have my Vita but Sony really did drop the ball in many ways.

The hardware itself was pretty solid, but the moment they realized that the 3G model wasn't going to hit it off, they should have drastically reduced the price of the system and it's accessories.

Sony seems to forget how much they helped their sales when they dropped the PS2 to $150

Indie games did pretty well on Vita. A couple released on there a couple weeks ago.

I still have my Vita. Play it from time to time.

I just got my Vita within the last year and I see myself using it for years to come. I've already got a good stack of old PS1 classics I never got around to downloaded it on it, as well as a couple Vita games. It's a bummer the system wasn't well supported, because it had a lot of potential. I'm still looking forward to using it as a portable classics player though.
