Sony Computer Entertainment Worldwide Studios President Shuhei Yoshida has said the Sony handheld will die with the Vita.
“People have mobile phones and it’s so easy to play games on smartphones. And many games on smartphones are free, or free to start,” Yoshida said after being asked if we’re likely to see a successor to the Vita.
“I myself am a huge fan of PlayStation Vita and we worked really hard on designing every aspect,” he added. “Touch-based games are fun – there are many games with really good design. But having sticks and buttons make things totally different.
“So I hope, like many of you, that this culture of playing portable games continues but the climate is not healthy for now because of the huge dominance of mobile gaming.”
How often do you use your Vita or 3DS as compared to your smartphone?
