Sony ends production of physical Vita games (Vita means life)
- Thread starter Joule
- Start date
"The message asks that all Vita product code requests be submitted by June 28, 2018, and that final purchase orders be entered by February 15, 2019. Sony's 2018 fiscal year will end on March 31, 2019."
Yep.
Yeah I wonder because they ordered from Sony I believe. Luckily they have the switch to start working with.
I was just about to say "I better get any last minute Vita games that I've been on the fence about."
But I honestly couldn't think of any.
Definitely holding on to my copies of Disgaea 3/4 even though I never play them.

It was a good run vita. Thank you for the two deployments where you saved me from complete boredom on my free time. I'll still be playing games on mine until it I can't anymore.
It means they're being forced out of the Vita business and there's nothing they can do about it.
This isn't surprising news in the least, and I can't imagine that the collectors market out there is remotely big enough to sustain the production lines being kept open.
I'll go all John wick on you if that happens. We still getting digital games! :(
C'mon Sony, SD Card support!!
You're probably thinking of when Sony had confirmed that they had ceased development of new first-party titles.
I supported this system as long as I could already, the hardware is still viable, the screen is still top notch, there is a market for handheld machine with moderate power, and Sony you give it up before its dead.
Now I have moved on to Nintendo Switch, not intended to look back lol...

I'm not sure it doesn't say anything about Asian games.
On Japanese psn for one I'm still seeing ads for new Vita games and models.
(not that I care about LRG, I just like physical games, I actually prefer the "Vita the Best" versions myself)
It had a good run.
Will still keep playing mine as I still have many games to play on it. Best handheld ever.
Stores around here (EU) stopped getting new Vita games like 2 or 3 years ago...
Well, that answers the question of whether or not our next game will be on Vita. Digital sales just aren't enough these days to justify a port. A physical release with a group like LRG can drastically improve the overall revenue & chance for profitability with a niche system like the Vita.
Catherine: Full Body hasn't been released yet... Digital only I guess?
