| The PlayStation Vita was shunned entirely during Sony's E3 2015 presentation but the company is adamant that the handheld console is not dead.
PlayStation Europe boss Jim Ryan told Gamespot that the system is still selling well and has "hundreds" of games in development.
"No, not at all," he said, when asked whether it is the end of the line for the Vita.
"We're still selling respectable quantities. We have a hundred games in development, and you might say, 'Well yeah but they're all indie games', but many of these games review very highly. Also the PS4's Remote Play feature is something that is valued a lot."
Ryan went on to say that the handheld market still exists, despite the rise of tablet and smartphone gaming taking a huge bite out of it.
"There's no disputing that it's not the size it used to be. It's a much smaller market than when the DS and PSP were in their glory days. But that market still does exist," he added.
Sony executive Shuhei Yoshida reiterated during E3 that the Vita is unlikely to play host to any more triple-A first-party games during its lifespan. |

| I loved the Uncharted game for the Vita (not as much as the other Uncharted games, but still). Aside from that, however, there isn't a single Vita exclusive I care about. I do use mine as an MP3 player and camera, though. |
