There are no more PS Vitas being sold, well, anywhere in North America. Due to increased demand, it looks like no one will be able to purchase a PS Vita until the supplies have been restocked. Best Buy, Amazon, and GameStop barely even have enough of the sleek handhelds to go around. A representative from Sony has told Polygon that the disappearance of the PS Vita in retail stores is simply a result of increased demand, not a discontinuation of the hardware. Here’s what he had to say:
“We’re seeing healthy consumer demand for PS Vita globally, particularly in markets like Japan,” the representative said. “The U.S. launch of the slimmer and lighter PS Vita has generated strong interest among gamers, and we’re working to replenish supply here to ensure continued momentum leading into the holidays.”
This can actually be taken as good news for fans of the PS Vita, in that this could very well mean that Sony may give the Vita more attention. We will keep you posted on this. For more news on everything gaming, check out our home page if you haven’t already!
