Default RIP PS Vita: Sony Officially Ends Production

Farewell, PlayStation Vita: the handheld's official product page has announced its two remaining SKUs (the Black PCH-2000 ZA11 and Aqua Blue PCH-2000 ZA23) have sold out, officially marking its demise. Executives have admitted there are no plans for a follow up, which is unsurprising due to the ubiquity of mobile gaming on smartphones. "Sony itself stopped making games for the Vita in 2015, and in 2018 ended the production of physical media games for the device." The original PlayStation Vita (PCH-1000) launched in Japan on Dec. 17, 2011, and in North America on Feb. 15, 2012. A revised slimline model (PCH-2000) followed in 2013 and 2014. Though it advanced on the PlayStation Portable's ideal of bringing console-quality video games, visuals and experiences to a handheld, the PlayStation Vita struggled for attention. Mobile video gaming at the time of its launch was flourishing on smartphones and tablets, making a dedicated gaming handheld more of a niche product than it was in the century's first decade.
