The Vita can pretty much play the entire digital PSP library so another Go isn't necessary.
That might have been funny if it hadnt been used a couple thousand times already by virtually every cag user. It also might have been funny if this was in the deals thread but incase you didnt notice this is general gaming news. And it might have been funny if he posted this saying its a deal but he obviously didnt post it as such.
No need for them to kill it. They have a small, but solid, digital distribution set up with their userbase. They just refit the build to be more profitable. They can use it to help promote their main brand, the PS4, via streaming and second screen functionality. They have indie developers eating out of their hand with the system and it leads to more brand loyalty for developing for PS4. They also have amazing profit margins on their storage. It's not a rockstar like the DS brand, but it is adequate enough for them to keep it alive for years to come.
While it is true that the 3DS is doing well, the sales for the Vita hardware are very lacking. The only company who's making it would be Nintendo and their 2DS/3DS. That article isn't exactly wrong though. Kids/Teenagers would rather play on a smartphone or tablet than they would on a handheld. Mainly, because it has simpler games. The only company who's actually succeeding in the handheld market would be Nintendo. From what I've seen, people would start picking up Vita's if they didn't exactly only cater to the Japanese/niche games. You've still got all the indie titles coming for the platform though. Price is also a big factor for most people.
