PS Vita will be manufactured until 2019 in Japan and there are currently no plans for a successor, Sony Interactive Entertainment senior vice president Hiroyuki Oda told Famitsu at Tokyo Game Show 2018.

 

“Currently, we do not have any plans regarding a new handheld device,” Oda said. “In Japan, we will manufacture PlayStation Vita until 2019. From there, shipping will end.”

The best thing about the Vita was streaming from my PS4 while pooping. 

 

It was a great handheld, if not a little claustrophobic. It a shame really, it couldve been great. 

Yeah that was cool but anytime I got to far away from my console the streaming went to shit.

I think my favorite thing about having one is having all my PSP games on a more comfortable system with a better battery. 

THIS THIS THIS!!!!!!!

 

I enjoyed my Vita a lot and still play it to this day faithfully. Wish Sony would have been better about it. They ruined the system.

Other than a PSP backlog, I just need to play Danganronpa 2 and 3 on my Vita. I know they're on Steam, but I've owned them for Vita for quite a while and I like those types of games on portables.

 

It really could have been a great system, but Sony mishandled it so badly. Other than the PSP being a success(though DS thoroughly trounced it), Nintendo is the only company who can enjoy constant success with the handheld market.

Didn’t Vita do really well in Japan?

No, it did ok but not great.

Compared to what? It sold better there than it did in NA, but that's not exactly a crowning achievement, especially when compared to other handhelds.

Well compared to Nintendo handhelds, still the 2nd best for non Nintendo handhelds and sold more then a few major consoles in japan. Yet still a far cry from what psp did.

I think an even bigger shame is how much Sony botched the vita tv. It’s a fantastic device hampered by their short sidedness with the game whitelist restrictions. I think there is only really 2-5 games that can’t work/will crash and those could have been patched/fixed (gyro and camera related)
