Sony PS Vita (Wi-Fi + 3G) (PlayStation Vita)

Product Information

The platform stalled in 2017 upon the release of the Nintendo Switch, and was completely discontinued in 2019. The system is regarded as a commercial failure in the video game industry, and was significantly outsold by the Nintendo 3DS. No direct successor was released by Sony, though in 2023, a similar remote play accessory, PlayStation Portal, was announced for release by the end of the year for the PlayStation 5.

After the success of Nintendo's Game Boy family of handheld game consoles throughout the 1990s and early 2000s, with little market competition, and Sony's massive success with its PlayStation and PlayStation 2 home video game consoles around the same time, Sony entered the handheld market as well. In 2004, it released the PlayStation Portable (PSP) to compete with the Nintendo DS as part of the seventh generation of video game consoles. [14] After a slow start in the worldwide market, it was invigorated in Japan with multiple releases in the Monster Hunter series. [14] [15] With the series being less popular in western regions, it failed to revive the platform in the same way. The PSP ended up being a mixed result for the company. It was seen as a success in that it was the only handheld video game platform that had ever significantly competed with Nintendo for market share, with almost 80 million units sold in its lifespan, roughly the same amount as Nintendo's Game Boy Advance had during the sixth generation of video game consoles. [14] This is only a little more than half of the sales of its actual market competitor, the DS, which was more than 150 million units by the end of 2011. [16] Parfitt, Ben (June 14, 2013).
