Actually there chance for a PlayStation portable successor. The reason that Vita support was drop is due to Andrew House decision and he believes the handheld market was dying which yes, it did effect sales but 3DS was able to overcome it and sold great enough, still selling well in the present. So Andrew House was very pessimistic and didn't try to improve marketing or listen to consumer ideas. John Kodera on the other hand is a new CEO who have experience with portable system and probably will give the system a chance, and takes notes from Nintendo and 3DS/Switch success. " Mr. Kodera joined Sony Corporation in 1992, where he was first assigned to planning and control within Sony’s portable audio business. In 1998 he was transferred to Sony Electronics Inc. in the U.S., where he was initially responsible for planning and control of various portable and mobile products, before subsequently being appointed VP of product management for IT products such as PCs."

Traded mine in for a SNES mini & I play that more than I did the Vita.
