Sony will stop making PS Vita game cards

Peter, 16 May 2018

“Sony is still making Vita game cards?” you’re probably wondering if you live in North America or Europe. Well, not for long – production will stop at the end of Sony’s fiscal year, aka March 2019. Digital distribution will live on, however.

The PlayStation Vita launched in early 2012 (a bit earlier in Japan), so it’s had a long life – not a terribly successful one, but a long one. The portable console remains fairly popular in its home country of Japan, riding on the success of indie JRPGs. Other than a small, dedicated fan base, there aren’t many that will miss it in the West, however.

Sony will stop making PS Vita game cards

We know what you’re thinking – just make another Xperia Play already! If Sony was to make another portable console, it would have to go up against the immensely popular Nintendo Switch and let’s just say that the Vita-3DS battle didn’t exactly go in Sony’s favor. Plus, gaming phones are hot right now.

Omg like wt the play station company doing .... i dont get it .. i love psp... thay have a lot of games an hack for it no matter how hight it update there is a hack for it ... but ohh god mn u made the ps vita to be better than the psp .... make more...

But that is considered as connected to the PS4. And without the PS4. You can't play PS4 contents. What sony needs is a combined version of PSP and Xperia which everyone would appreciate.

Just build successor to Vita and that's it, no need to make any gaming phone, no one can do it properly anyway
