Aye, saw it posted in the PSN thread.

Much as I hate to admit it, they know which way the wind is blowing. Tablet + controller has a future, dedicated handhelds don't.

It's as telling as Delsin Rowe whipping out his smartphone to play a game in Second Son.

His head smashed in and his heart cut out and his liver removed and his bowels unplugged and his nostrils raped and his bottom burned off and his penis...

Shit, I wasn't the only one that thought that when that happened in Second Son? Sigh.

 

[ohlawd]

I thought this was gonna be about the Vita.

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

I thought this was gonna be about the Vita.

This is what I thought. What the hell..

 

[CNCOMICS]

I expect this from third parties, but not from Sony themselves.

 

[spannicus]

The Vita is a PS4 toy and last stop for indies lol

What is this from? It's awesome/hilarious.

EDIT: Thanks.

 

[Toxi]

Persona 3. It's the way you summon monsters in that game.

 

[Nirolak]

To be honest that's pretty much all I expect them to do post Vita.

 

[esterk]

Guys Sony wouldn't just give up on their handheld! They've got plenty stuff to show off at e3 I bet! Right? Right??

 

[Kiant]

Shit, I wasn't the only one that thought that when that happened in Second Son? Sigh.

Same, I thought it was a vita at first but nope!

Yeah they have a game called Monkey Mofo, that's bound to save it!

 

[Abounder]

That photo and quote is like something from The Onion. Impressive work Sony.

 

[rekameohs]

overreaction GAF is my favorite GAF

As if this little tweet could possibly stop the Vita train.

What's going to start the Vita train?

 

[Fancy Clown]

Someone should tweet back at them asking them what gives. So dumb not to advertise your own product

 

[Ogawa-san]

Between that being considered "portable" and phablets, I'm even more positive the mobile scene went collectively full retard.

 

[RaikuHebi]

Dave's gon' be mad.

 

[hohoXD123]

Shahid will be paying the people in charge of Sony's twitter a little visit...

 

[Crash Station]

So I guess no Vita TV ever

 

[AmyS]

As good as PS4 is doing right now, the VITA is doing about equally as bad.

Still, I need to get an OLED unit before supplies are exhausted and the price goes way up as the LCD / 2000 model rolls out pretty soon.

 

[SmithnCo]

Looks about as portable as carrying a WiiU around with you.

 

[Principate]

That is some ice cold shit from Sony. It seems the Vita has a lot more mindshare on gaf than it does in Sony.

 

[Breakage]

Pretty obvious that Vita is an unwanted child in the PlayStation family.

 

[CharminUltra]

As someone who is interested in a couple of games but is waiting for either more games or a significant price drop to finally pull the trigger on a Vita, this is not encouraging at all, Sony. At all.

Oh well, at least I'm loving my PS4.

 

[SeanR1221]

Reminds me of my thread

http://m.neogaf.com/showthread.php?t=764669

Just have PS Now running on that tablet and it's the same idea.

 

[Ape]

Thread title should be updated to "Sony RETWEETS Sony Xperia" Because that's what actually happened here. They are just helping out another part of the company, nothing to be upset about.

 

[Snakeyes]

This is what I thought. What the hell..

Same.

 

[Principate]

Same.

I think that's what the majority thought hence the responses.

 

[tensuke]

Dualshock 3? Asphalt 7? Portable Gaming Perfection?

Vita am cry. :'(

 

[zeopower6]

Why would their Xperia division care about the Vita? :/

 

[Principate]

Doesn't have to refer to it's device as "Portable gaming perfection", they know the Vita exists and they know what they were doing.

 

[ButchCat]

So Vita is officially dead in the water.

 

[spannicus]

So is the Vita Portable Imperfection?

 

[Stealthcobra]

boggles the mind the amount of stupidity in this thread.

 

[rekameohs]

Uh, that is their own product. In fact, it's two of their own products.

 

[Aeriscloud]

That's pretty messed up Sony.

 

[hohoXD123]

Thank goodness we have you as the beacon of sanity.

 

[zeopower6]

I kind of don't get why there's such an overreaction... @Sony is retweeting something that @SonyXperia posted. If it was @PlayStation, it'd probably be a bit more worrisome.

 

[Brazil]

I love how Asphalt 7 is enough to make them forget the Vita. Not even Asphalt 8.

 

[Majestad]

Holy fucking shit, I almost spilled my drink.

 

[Infernal Monkey]

The 80s called, they want their advertising money back.

Spoiler

I can't be the only one seeing this.

Portable gaming perfection!

 

[yurinka]

I love you, Vita

 

[Omnistalgic]

They should put the vita chip in there next tablet...and don't blame some Sony guys for hyping up a tablet...blame the world for not buying more vitas!!!

It will forever be a slow burner unless a mh like situation happens and a 3rd party title blows up on it...

 

[ToraShiro]

That guy looks super pumped to be looking at a loading screen.

Also, yayyyy Twitter. The continual automatic foot-in-mouth machine of social media.

*clutches Vita*

 

[ohlawd]

Portable gaming perfection!

the controller makes this pic, man.

 

[DJMicLuv]

Yeah they have a game called Monkey Mofo, that's bound to save it!

Is the monkey fucking someone's mother or is someone's mother the monkey or both or neither?

 

[Freaky Fred]

Portable gaming perfection!

 

[PFD]

lol

 

[Finalow]

reminder that Vita means life.

dead.

This.

My 3DS/DS backlog is huge and I'm waiting a Vita price drop to 99-120€ until I get one... maybe. The system's future doesn't seem to be too bright, but I'm not following Vita news that closely, though. Atleast the games are cheap, but PSP selection is lacking (I never owned a PSP).
