RIP IN PIECE PSVITA

Sony discontinuing PSVITA


ITS OVER
KO

Sony to counteract this sad news with
PS4 Sales figures.

>Might
Not news.

>might
Don't care
Still has games releasing in the future i'm looking forward to

outlived the wii u

AGHHHH DELETE THIS YOU FUCKING NINTENDRONE

VITA IS LIFE

>discontinue just means manufacture
>north america only
>rumor
still be able to buy one I am sure they would have plenty in back stock

They should have made the mgsv portable counterpart like they were originally going to.
What was the point of transfarring?

Do they still sell these anywhere ?

I've never actually seen one.

No, major stores like Best Buy, Gamestop, and Walmart have stopped stocking Vitas since they take up too much space.

I still want to buy one for comfy indie games once I see one for $100

>Rumor from a month ago

Just wait until what they have to say for E3. Just kidding, there won't be a booth again

I literally bought one at Gamestop a week ago.

That's so fucking sad if true. The Vita has a niche audience that's ripe for exploiting. Assign a small group that does nothing but translates previously Japanese-only games as cheaply as possible (no voice dubs, limited physical release, etc.). That's literally all they'd have to do and the system can be salvaged.

Hell, with the 3DS being cracked wide the fuck open, it has the potential to pull actual 3rd party support in if they manage to keep the weeb games flowing.

You mean it hasn't been already?

Sad indeed. I hope Sony doesn't sunset it anytime soon.

I should buy a Vita or PS TV sometime soon, before that shit gets expensive.

Damn, we can no longer say it'll outlive Wii U.

>April 20th
>Attack of the Fanboy
>Final nail in the coffin
>Death of the portable

This guy talks like Sup Forums on a literally who site, I wonder if you posted this yourself.

I don't get it. Who writes freelance only to supply baseless rumors? I don't understand the writing rather. I like how one portable can make people so angry.

Hahahaha
Get fucked weebs

>RIP IN PIECE
fucking dumb idiot

They cut out the PSTVs a while back, Walmarts had them for $20 for some time trying to get rid of their stock.

Vitas will surely follow soon. The only odd thing is $ony is still fighting against the hacks with their updates.

Oh well, I'm happy with my Vita the way it is right now anyways.

Bigger stores that don't solely do videogames have stopped stocking even Wii Us a while ago, game stores have them however, as does Amazon.

Also note, most 3DS games aren't being put on the floors either.

You mean like how it was dead back 2012? These rumor mongering clickb8 sites are running out of ideas

That's a different site.

Didn't they say that last year and the year before?

Its the exact same site, with the same author.

Yeah! Rip I piece, those dumb idiots !

If you see "rumor" on a popular site, it's just clickbait bullshit.

I've been mulling over getting a 1000 model for the sole purpose of Vanillaware games. Not a whole lot else interested me.

It's been dead and irrelevant for years now.

This. I remember when kotaku posted that bullshit rumor that versus 13 was cancelled.

Irrelevant sure, but its far from dead since it keeps getting games I like.

Odin's Sphere next Monday

Fucking yes, finally.
Now sony will stop updating vita's, people will finally get a definitive CFW for the platform, and I can have my PSP 2: Electric Boogaloo.

user if this is what its like for it to be dead, I want it to stay dead. My Vita backlog has been full ever since beginning of this year

Nah fuck you
Stay away from vita-chan you filthy pirate piece of shit

Assuming this does happen, what benefits (apart from 2 sticks) will the Vita have over the psp when it comes to emulation? The psp can already handle up to ps1 games

Vita can do PS2 games.

vita-chan is going to become a filthy whore and there is nothing you can do to save your waifu.
PS1 controllers have twin sticks, and R2/L2 buttons, something that the PSP does not have. Also allows for the entire PSP + PSvita library on one system, with presumably better emulators (gba on psp is kind of wonky, even snes sometimes isn't great)
Can it? I heard that PS2 emulation on vita was something that would just not ever happen. Did they actually find a way?

not him but, no

It gets more games than the 3DS atm.

>tfw I can add Dragon Quest Builders, and hopefully Dragon Quest Heroes II, to my Vita collection

And it looks like vita might be getting Romancing SaGa 2 as well
I'm hoping that means we also get Adventures of Mana

Wii U isn't being discontinued any time soon, it's still getting (a) game in 2017.

Actually you made me realize that a lot of the floors at the gamestops I've been to aren't even filled with games anymore, just shitty pop figures, tshirts and all that crap.

I wonder if games will ever become niche again, doubt it but I can dream

Video games were never niche and you're retarded for thinking they ever were.

Its already discontinued.

I guess

I Guess Vita Really Means Death
Oh man you just gave me the perfect title for my Kotaku article!

>it's still getting (a) game in 2017.
That's only because NX was delayed to 2017, so Zelda was delayed too..

outsold the wiiu too.

>Rumor

>mfw the PS3 and Vita outlive the Wii-U
>mfw the Vita has way more fucking games upcoming as well as a bigger library then the Wii-U

has more support and more games on the horizon than the wiiu too

They had plenty at the best buy I was at a few days ago, not 100 sitting around but there were like 4 in the spot for them which is about as much as it'd fit. The gaming section at my best buy is really shitty and small.

Can I get a new one for dirt cheap now? None of the big box stores around me stock Vita units and their Vita games selection has been reduced to one row at the bottom of the clearance shelves. I wouldn't mind picking one up but don't know who still carries them.

That's. At the store I work at we get more preorders for the Pop figures than the actual games. The megaman Fire Storm has 102 preorders.

>discontinued in North Korea

what's the big deal?

longer battery life than the wiiu too

just hurry up and kill the damn thing already so i can get one for cheap
i would have bought one years ago but sony threw away my potential sale when they decided to make it use gay ass turbo overpriced proprietary memory cards
it deserved to fail just for that

People preorder the figures? I didn't know people even bought them, they always looked funny to me.

nope, if anything with less supply the prices will sky rocket if the OP becomes official.

>Soon

a video game company never announces that a platform is being discontinued "soon"

>all this is is some random guy making a prediction.

They look like fucking shit.

But it's still getting games.

more games than WiiU

Vita could probably handle n64 and dreamcast games

We ain't getting rs2, just get it on Mobile like the rest of us are forced too.

You haven't heard the news?

Complete shit, there's no redeeming qualities to any of the ones I've seen.

>Pop! figurines

Aren't these what normies buy? I see them in almost every store. Every retailer has some kind of shelf space dedicated for these.

what news

Not that fag, but I honestly won't believe it until I see it.
We didn't get AoM, we didn't get Chaos Rings 3, we won't be getting RS2. We sure as fuck won't get SaGa Scarlet Grace.

People actually spend money on these things? I'll never understand.

I'm not much of a collecter of anything though, and have gone full digital. I hate having stuff in my house that has no real use.

>DQB and DQH2 gets announced for vita
>suddenly tons of vita is dead threads flood Sup Forums

I wonder who is behind this post?

Squeenix also just announced that theyre bringing Romancing SaGa 2 for western Vita after previously skipping it in favor of the phone versions. Obviously the mobile crowd didnt work out

>DQH2 gets announced for vita
Are you talking stateside, because that announcement hasn't happened yet.
We haven't even gotten DQH2 confirmed for english yet.

No, they said they're "trying" to.
Just like they did for AoM.
Actually they didn't even say that, they said that they would "consider developing" a vita version, as if we didn't know fucking exists.

Vita outsold the Wii U.

>Spend $3 to make like 100 of these fucking toys
>One dumb fuck buys one for $30

Can I hack my Vita like my PSP is? Just for PSP and PS1 games. I could shelf my PSP for good if that's the case.

I have no interest in pirating Vita games. Just the old stuff.

good. unfortunately they're replacing it with another waste of time and money, the PSVR.

The developed himself confirmed he was doing the vita version

He said "to be patient".
That doesn't mean shit when SE is involved.

I dont care what anyone thinks.
I lol'd out loud.

check hackinformers Playstation Guide, type that into google and selecer ur firmware to see what hacks are avaliable for ur console

shut the fuck up u fgt omg

So, hack when? I just want to play SM64 while taking a dump.

The PSP side for the Vita has been hacked for awhile now, home menu and all. The only problem is trying to catch an exploit game. Sony take down and patches them as soon as they get announced. You have to sign up to wolo's forums and check their early announcements everyday. Kind of worth it just for PSP games and shit that's not on PSN plus 2 analog sticks is a nice bonus.

What firmware you on F A M?

I'll never understand the appeal of Pop figures. They're cookie cutter and ugly.

>being this much of a fanboy

Shame. I wanted more options for handhelds. Its always nice to have competition in the market.

Fuck off nintenshitty.

I love my vita!

They stopped manufacturing it months ago m8.

good god man how can you stomach all that weebshit?

Actually there haven't been any exploit games released for quite a while. Qwik stopped and he was the main guy dishing them out.

If that guy is anywhere above 3.52 he might as well forget it.

Called the cops, enjoy jail pedo scum.

>Sony: Vita is dead
>Nintendo: We'll still make games for Wii U

The denial is real

Kill ya self

>a dead system is more alive than the wii u
kek

What is this sea man demon?
