Ps3 I'm guessing; don't see how you could make a thinner Vita. In the Home Islands, game consoles have extraordinary longevity. Until recently some Japanese game makers were still making games for the PS1. Until now, the PS3 sales in Japan have been nothing like what you would probably expect. A cheaper sku would be consistent with past launches of next gen consoles, albeit the PS3 has had an extraordinary number of them for it's generation. Japanese gamemakers don't treat a past-gen console like a red-headed stepchild. They will continue to support the PS2 and PS3 for a very long time.
