PlayStation Vita Production Has Officially Ended
The PlayStation Vita didn't do all that hot in sales, though the handheld did have a lot of unmet potential. The remote play feature was one of the more under appreciated features for its time, and controls themselves were quite smooth for most titles. Still, it just didn't have the support needed and when PlayStation announced that the 2011 platform was coming to a close, unfortunately no one was really surpised.
With the success of the Nintendo Switch showing the high demand for portable gaming, perhaps Sony will once again try in the future. Though they've mentioned in the past that they were "done" with that market for now, there is nothing stopping them from eventually returning with a firmer understanding of what players want, a strong support plan going in, and lessons learned from past mistakes.
For those that loved the PlayStation Vita, they loved it well. For those that didn't, the appeal was completely lost. It's another chapter closing for Sony as a new one looms on the horizon with the next generation of gaming looming ahead. While Vita is no more, we've been hearing a lot of incredible things about what the PlayStation 5 could potentially have to offer, making it incredibly easy to get excited about what the next step is for the gaming giant.

The PSP had more potential than the Vita had, sad to see this happen. But at the same time it fails to compare to the Nintendo DS.

Wrong time.m to release. The vita was and is amazing. The oled screen was ahead of its time. Too bad it didn't do better than it has

I think the Vita just came out at the wrong time. What Sony should have done was kept improving the PSP before the launch model release, and then released that a few years later. The PSP was way ahead of its time and it blew every other mobile device out of the water.
Sad to see you go, Vita. I still play mine though.
