PlayStation Mobile is dead

A shame - in competent hands, this could have been a real moneymaker.

Not in the U.S.!!!

Vita is a dead concept and only used by a handful of people. I don't actually know a single person who knows a single person that owns a Vita.

Sony's mobile phone marketshare is so tiny that this too would not help keep Sony Mobile alive and no doubt Sony doesn't support too many devices that aren't Sony.

Not sure why you'd think this would be a money maker but I don't agree. Maybe.......people are weird.

Agreed. I've seen exactly ONE Vita "in the wild" in the US, ever. It's almost as difficult to find PSPs.

Furthermore, ePSXe and FPse PS1 emulators work pretty damn well on almost any Android device, and PPSSPP (PSP emulator) is also pretty solid (if your device has the processing power to handle it, that is) and all of those emulators support various external controllers, or on-screen controls if necessary. I love playing old-school XCom: Enemy Unknown on my S3! It's not difficult to image PS1 CDs you own (legal) or find the .isos online (not legal), so... *thpbphthp* to Sony; I cannot think of a company I more enjoy despising, barring Adobe and Comcast.

for the same reason nintendo is raking it in.

sony is incompetent almost zero ads about the device, no day one AAA games and a failure to support established apps in a timely fashion.

im stuck with a Vita as no one is stupid enough to buy it....including gamestop. I'm selling my PS4 as soon as i get the chance, as there handling of it mirrors there handling of vita in everyway.

what law firm is handling the class action lawsuit?
