PSVita was awaited by some people because it was considered as the successor of the PSP (PlayStation Portable) which was quite famous in its time. But is that right?
tekno kompas - After about eight years, Sony began to stop production of the PlayStation (PS) Vita handheld console. The PSVita factory in Japan itself began to trim several models little by little. On the official page, there are only two models that will still be distributed. Each is a PS Vita with a black's PCH-2000 ZA11 model number and PS Vita with a PCH-2000 ZA23 model number. Both are the latest versions of PS Vita developed by Sony. In the catalog details, the two models are sure to be immediately stopped.

Quoted by KompasTekno from Gematsu, This Tuesday, Sony has since last year made an intention to no longer make the successor to PSVita. This was stated directly by Sony Interactive Entertainment's Vice President, Hiroyuki Oda. According to him, the distribution of PSVita in the Japanese region stopped completely as of March 2019. It was not revealed whether production in Europe and the United States was stopped or not. What is clear, since the end of May 2018 ago, Sony began to cut the distribution of PS Vita physical game cards.
Actually the signs of the death of PS Vita have been revealed since 2017. President of Sony Interactive Entertainment America, Shawn Layden, said that the sale of this console did not meet expectations. PS Vita does not have a sales record or other achievements. Unlike his older brother, the PlayStation Portable (PSP), whose sales skyrocketed above expectations.
