I bought a bunch of games after the news of the closure and I guess many others must have done the same for them to take notice of the sudden revenue. Good that the store is staying up, you'll have to pry my Vita out of my cold dead hands.
I don't think it's that. I think they noticed the immense amount of negative press they're getting over it over the CBOMB issue and are extremely worried because compatibility wise, the PS5 sucks.

>PS3s are old and no one plays them anymore therefore they don't matter, at least to Sony.
But the PS Vita is still a fine, fine thing.

Indeed Sony did lose interest. The device however remains good. Nice screen, good graphics, nice controls, nice hand feel.
Every now and then I will pull it out to Touch my Katamari.
