Sony: Vita isn’t Going Anywhere, But Don’t Expect First Party Games

Despite Sony’s blatant lack of support for the Playstation Vita from their internal first party studios, Sony Europe boss Fergal Gara is singing a slightly different tune.

In an interview with Eurogamer, Gara confirmed that Vita isn’t selling as well as the Playstation 4, but it has an encouraging amount of sales:

“It’s trucking along. It’s currently in year-on-year growth and enjoying a healthy year, and it’s about to hit its biggest and potentially most powerful release of the year, which is Minecraft. That could be an extraordinary release for Vita.”

Things got very interesting when Gara was pressed to comment on the lack of first party support from Sony on the platform. When asked if we’d ever see games like Uncharted or Killzone on Vita again, Gara said “Probably not.” He continued: “But what we are excited by us the number of games we can take to the platform that have been created for other platforms.”

Hopefully this doesn’t mean that we aren’t going to see Gravity Rush 2, because that would make me eternally sad.
