Sony Interactive Entertainment announced on Friday that it has officially stopped shipments of the PlayStation Vita handheld console in Japan.
According to Media Create, Sony sold 1,767 PS Vita consoles in Japan during the week of February 11-17, but that number jumped to 3,600 units for the week of February 18-24, after Sony reported that it would halt production of the console in Japan “soon.”
