PlayStation Vita is a ‘legacy platform,’ according to Sony (update)

It doesn’t look like the PlayStation Vita will factor too heavily into Sony’s gaming plans going forward.

The chief executive officer of Sony Computer Entertainment, Andrew House, referred to the PlayStation Vita as a “legacy platform” in remarks he gave to investors earlier today — although the company has since clarified that he was speaking specifically of the older Vita models. The executive was explaining the state of the PlayStation business, and he used “legacy” when talking about writing off the cost of some components for those devices. And that was nearly all House had to say about the Vita, as he was much more focused on the potential of the megapopular PlayStation 4 and services like the game-streaming platform PlayStation Now and the live-TV portal PlayStation Vue.
