Well depends on how you view it.
Right now you have the opportunity to get a top quality reader with new technology that other readers are first now catching up to. You can get that reader real cheap at clearances.
I just bought mine and I couldn't be happier. Speculations about Sony potentially abandoning the reader or new technology coming out in a year has nothing to do with the product you are buying now.
So really a good time to get a steal on one of the best products out there
