Sony Possibly Leaving Handheld Console Scene
By Kasaix • 4 years ago


For those hoping for a Vita 2, you may want to keep those hopes in check. In a quote to GameInformer, that ran down 25 years of PlayStation, which you can see HERE, a quote here stood out quite a bit:

"PlayStation Vita was brilliant in many ways, and the actual gaming experience was great, but clearly it’s a business that we’re no longer in now.”

– JIM RYAN

[President and CEO, Sony Interactive Entertainment]

Sony's foray into handheld, the PSP and PS Vita were solid systems, but they didn't do near as well as Nintendo's family of handheld hardware. 


I use the word 'possibly' in the title because, while this is a quote from the CEO of SIE, it's not an official announcement. This might be an off-hand remark. It would be sad to see PlayStation leave the handheld market, since it gave us the likes of Gravity Rush and Persona 4 Golden.
