SYDNEY: Sony has announced it will stop publishing PlayStation Mobile content from July 15, that dream of cross-platform synergy is now dead.
On September 10th the entire site will cease to exist, and previously purchased games will no longer be available for download. The shutdown only applies to PS Vita content, as Sony had already stopped publishing Android games for PlayStation Mobile last year.
The PlayStation Mobile effort was busts pretty much from the get go, due to the fact that Android gaming itself has never been huge. However, shuttering the PS Vita side of things must hurt a little, considering the effort Sony made to attract developers to the oft-beleaguered console. On the other hand, PS Vita is enjoying resurgence thanks to PS4 Remote Play and recent availability in China.
