As we get closer to the release of Sony's next generation of consoles, the company is reportedly updating the PlayStation Store to push the PS3, PS Vita, and PSP a little further out of the limelight. According to a report by French website Planète Vita, the PlayStation storefronts on web and mobile will soon get rid of a number of product categories, including the older consoles.
The leak shows a message sent by Sony Interactive Entertainment about the upcoming change, which Planète Vita acquired from a reliable source.
