Some time ago, Sony confirmed that they had discontinued the PS Vita, its portable console, which has never finished taking off on the market. But after this confirmation not much more was known. Finally, it has also been confirmed that they will stop producing physical games for the console. Although digital distribution will continue to exist.

Sony will stop producing games for PS Vita

The European and American divisions of Sony have decided to stop manufacturing the Vita GameCards in 2018. But it won't be effective until April 1 of next year. From this date, these cards will never be manufactured again. Yet another step at the end of the console.

The PS Vita says goodbye to the market

The console has never finished taking off in the global marketplace, where it has had too much competition. It has sold about 16 million copies in 6 years on the market. Insufficient numbers for a Sony console. So no one was surprised that the company is abandoning this console. There have been many possible reasons for the failure of the PS Vita.

The games were more expensive than for other consoles, in addition, the competition that has faced these years has been brutal. Mainly by the Nintendo DS, which gave more possibilities to users. Except in Japan, the reception of the console has been quite lukewarm.

Sony has been killing PS Vita little by little, so it seems that we are now in the next phase. The console is saying goodbye to the market. It is possibly the first and only portable console that we see from Sony in the market.
