Thamauturge posted...So they are planning a ten year cycle for the Vita when the PSP only got a 6 year one?
The PSP has been out for nearly 8 years now, and is still being sold around the world with strong software support in Japan. The PSP isn't going to disappear any time soon. Also, poorer parts of the world don't have access to the latest technologies and still rely on last gen consoles. In fact, the PSP is HUGE in India at the moment, and producing hardware for these areas is still part of Sony's 10-year plan.
