It's still "years away", similar to the Xbox handheld.

I appreciate the artist who created this image with the theme "Artist's conception of God breathing new life into the sadly neglected PlayStation Vita. Credit: Sony" (from the article):

The Vita (like the PSP before it) was really a stellar handheld for its time. Innovative control options, which a few games used to great effect; great graphics; solid battery life; great looking display; solid and compact construction... I wish it had gotten more support. I loved that thing.

Ehhh....

It was very limited by the decisions Sony made.

Proprietary memory cards (that were fuuuucking expensive, not to mention its high MSRP for the unit itself), having to manually sign into PSN to check messages instead of some sort of push notification system, very limited library (and no cross over purchases from the PSP) - it was essentially a glorified remote play console, and was abandoned soon after launch as Sony focused on the PS4.

I still got mine and fire it up for a kick of nostalgia now and then. I wish they supported it more. Its a great handheld.
