PS Vita is Sony's portable console, which has never finished convincing users. The console went on sale six years ago. In this time has sold about 15 million units worldwide. The same figure that the Nintendo Switch has sold in a year. It seems that Sony is already starting to abandon the project. Because the console has been discontinued in Spain.
Although the company has not revealed it through a statement as expected. The Twitter profile of PlayStation Spain was the in charge of confirming that the PS Vita has been discontinued.
Actually it is not news that has been too surprising. Because for a long time the selection of games available for the console is rather limited. There are only a few games, usually very little known, available. So it is logical that Sony abandons this project.
Hello! It is effectively discontinued, yes.

In addition, for almost a year now it is almost impossible to find the PS Vita in stores in Spain. Its availability is really limited. So you could already see this decision coming from the company. Something that has finally happened already. The end of the console in our country is already real.
Sony is expected to decide to release a statement on this decision in the coming days.. Since the confirmation that the PS Vita has been discontinued has caused a stir among users on Twitter. So the company is expected to say something about it very soon.
In this way, PS Vita is no longer officially distributed in Spain.. The console path has not been an easy one, nor has it been very successful. Therefore, many hope that the same will happen in new markets soon. Surely it ends up happening, but for now it seems that we will have to wait. In Spain at least we said goodbye to the console.
