Sony Shutting Down Production of Physical Vita Games

Sony has officially ceased production of physical Vita games, according to Kotaku. The production of new physical games for the Vita will officially cease by the close of the 2018 fiscal year, which is March 31, 2019.

“For whatever reason, and there are a host of them, and there are even more reasons if we were drinking beer, Vita just didn’t reach that critical mass with the audience and thereby, the development community doesn’t get behind it and thereby, the audience doesn’t come, and it’s a quick negative spiral effect,” Sony Interactive Entertainment of America president Shawn Layden said, in an interview with Polygon last year.

The Vita had lofty goals but seemed like a rather weird combination of console and portable gaming unit that never resonated with fans.

Things such as Remote Play and Playstation TV never really helped boost the Vita in sales, and eventually the arrival of the Nintendo Switch pretty much wiped out the Vita.
