Two weeks ago, Vita had its worst ever sales at 1,973 in Japan. Then at TGS, Sony announced an end to Vita production sometime in 2019. Fair to say the two events are probably related. Last week's figures from Media Create show sales pinging back up to 2,718, but aside from people stocking up spare consoles, this is a one way ride.
What was once a stellar seller for the Vita, Steins Gate Elite only just creeps into to the top 20, selling 3,700, while the PS4 and Switch versions are in the top 5, selling 13K each. That's as clear a sign as anyone needs that the Vita's time in the sun is almost over. Famitsu's review pages are crammed with Switch titles, and anything that once brought delight to Vita owners now on PS4/Switch/PC pretty much exclusively.
Tick, tock, all we can do is wonder if PS5 will have a portable/hybrid element, as I don't have the time or energy to fight my way in front of the big TV.
