With the launch of the PlayStation 5, it is expected that Sony would eventually try to push its older gaming systems out of the picture. That almost happened this year, but the company relented and allowed some venerable consoles to continue the status quo. That’s not to say that it’s willing to spend resources on maintaining those well-aged PlayStation systems. It seems that the company has discovered a strategy to push the PS3 and the PS Vita into obsolescence by making it extremely difficult to purchase games and DLCs moving forward. Earlier this year, Sony announced its plans to shut down the online stores for the PlayStation Portable, the PlayStation 3, and the PlayStation Vita in summer this year.
