"Currently, we do not have a🐈ny plans regarding a new handheld device," he said. "In Japan, we will manufacture PlaySt💙ation Vita until 2019. From there, shipping will end."

PS Vita launched in Japan in December of 2011 with big-budget games such as Uncharted: Golden Abyss, which was de༒signed in an attempt to give gamers console-quality sessions away from a television. It rolled out elsewhere a year later.

A smaller, l🉐ighter version was released ꦡin Japan in 2013, going out to the rest of the world in 2014.

Nintendo's 3DS, though, attributed to the device's commercial failure, despite Sony's product being more advanced tech🐠nologically and receiving the plaudits for its hardware and 💖games. The platform shifted from popular titles to more indie games as a result, and the company has since decided to give up on production.

A specific date f✱or the halt in manufacturing is still unknown, but it is expected that the device will say its farewell pretty soon,🧸 in Japan at least.

Sony has 🌌not said what this means for the handheld prodꦺuction in the West, but it would be fair to assume that production will discontinue there too, as they stopped making physical games for the device last May.

Inꦇdie developers owe a lot of their success to the PS Vita. Its emergence saw several of the smaller titles became popular. But, it appears that the run, as it pertains to the device itself, will soon be over everywhere.
