Sony can't even mention the Vita by name in new advert

Sony's latest advert for Remote Play shows off the Vita, but since Sony doesn't make or sell them anymore, there's little point in name-checking it as that would "confuse" consumers - in the beady eyes of their marketing team. This is likely a response to the arrival of Google Stadia, the over-priced streaming only service that will die horribly pretty quickly, I reckon.

To be fair, the Remote Play experience with a DualShock and iPhone is pretty much the bees knees, since the iOS 13 update (if you get some gonky connector). But there's still nothing quite like playing on the Vita.

Of course, this wouldn't be a problem if the HD update Vita 2 (or whatever) had been rolled out to challenge the Switch. There has been some recent media fuss (all based on one patent for some shitty memory card or storage - Sony stop it, proprietary storage is dead!) which addled minds have linked to a new portable. But I'll believe and write about that when there's something more concrete.
