Why hasn't the PSP been discontinued yet?

There hasn't been a game release for the system in several months -- at least nothing worth noting. And most retailers have little to no PSP games anymore. So, why doesn't Sony just discontinue the PSP already? Theres no point in continuing to manufacture a system when there's no new software that's going to be released for it.

Still loads of games released in Japan more than the Vita.

Still selling a lot in JPN and JPN devs are developing for it..

If anything, I think Sony's starting to slowly discontinue PSP support on the US.

Just more than a week ago there were supplies of the extended battery pack.. now, they're nowhere to be found (most large retailers and even Sony.com).

Sony only just now stopped distributing the PS2 to Japan so I'd imagine it's going to still be a while before they stop making the PSP all together.
