After almost a decade, Sony will stop selling the PSP in Japan soon

Nearly ten years after first going on sale in Japan, the PlayStation Portable has reached the end of the line in its home market. Sony confirmed that it will stop shipping units to Japanese retailers this month, noting that it made the same move in North America this January. While shipping will also end in Europe at an unspecified date, the portable console is expected to be available in Latin America and other Asian countries for a while longer; Sony isn’t stopping production.
