In a turn of events that many did not foresee coming, Sony is reversing its decision over a planned shutdown of the PlayStation Store service on the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita. However, the plan for the same on the PlayStation Portable (PSP) is still a go.

In an official blog post by Sony, the company announced the choice to overturn its initial plan, following reconsiderations involving the two platforms’ existing player base—a picture that the Japanese company initially overlooked until after ruffling their feathers with the proclamation. The changing decision is also likely greatly influenced by the community’s uproar over the issue.
