"Sony has finally stated that it will discontinue the PSPs’ production starting from next month.
Although it didn’t quite become as successful as its competitor (The Nintendo DS), it still managed to sell 80 million units worldwide since it went on sale 10 years ago.As I mentioned in my previous blog post, the PSP first officially launched in December 12, 2004 in Japan. It was then released in North America and Europe later on in the following year. The PSP go first launched in 2009, but officially stopped its production quite early around 2011. The PSP E1000 launched in October 2011, which was a budget-focused model of the PSP, but it seems all of them are going to end their production. The company has announced that Sony will ship its last set of PSPs’ in Japan next month. The company also stated that it will be offering Japanese users a discount on Vita products if they trade in their PSPs.
Just because they’re stopping production doesn’t mean the PSP scene’s also gonna stop its production. We’re still kicking, and providing as much as possible! Be sure to check out my previous article to have a look at what’s going on in the PSP homebrew scene today. After all some people are still working on PS1 so why not?
It’s quite odd that Sony doesn’t want the PSP to live alongside the Vita anymore, but oddly wants the PS3 to live next to the PS4. Oh well it’s seems they’ve made they’re final decision. Europe has also stated it’ll cease its production at some point this year."
