Gamasutra- The main draw of the PSP, the big promise that was meant to separate it from Nintendo's portables and pull users away from the underpowered Nintendo DS, was that Sony's handheld could deliver console-like experiences on the go.
PSP's console-quality experiences, though, weren't enough to propel the system to the same heights as its competitors in the West -- so why hasn't Sony adjusted its strategy for its new portable, in light of PSP's past difficulties and PS Vita's current struggles?
Hideo Kojima is widely known as a video games auteur, but what are his best games outside the Metal Gear franchise?
From the Supervision to the Steam Deck, the vast history of handheld console gaming is always worth celebrating.
A modded PSP is awesome, I used to play games like the original Marvel vs Capcom and even the original Doom on it.

I’m always happy to listen to requests, and whilst I can’t always accommodate every single one, there are certainly times where I can, especially if it helps readers make an informed decision about where to start with a complex, long-running franchise, and, of course, makes for a fun playthrough for me.
"Follow what Activision is doing with Call of Duty." .............................. .......really?
"A lot of PS Vita's early catalog has so far been made up of console ports -- which may have contributed to the troubles Sony has faced with building momentum for the system so far -- but now the company is strongly recommending against and guiding publishers away from ports".
I don't think Sony knows what it wants the Vita to be. There's no clear vision for the device from them. It's too bad, really. Great potential.
I know what i want the vita to be ... a portable ps3.
Thats the whole reason i bought it, for a ps3 "experience" on the go.
I hope Sony will reevaluate this decision. Because I my self want more console games on my Vita. Because it is nice to be able to play games when I am out. Then when I get back home I can finish off where I left off.
I would love to see Borderlands 2 come out on the Vita this way I could put more time into it.
I also would enjoy seeing games like Elder Scrolls & Fallout come out for the system too.
For me I do not have as much time to play games at home as I did when I was a kid. So being able to play console games on the go is what I want.
Also I just got back a few weeks ago from vacation & it was nice to be able to sit by the beach. Plus be able to play the Vita at the same time. So when I was enjoying the cool breeze I could play with the Vita. But I could not do that with my PS3.
So I hope more console games & new IPs will come out on the Vita.
People need to stfu about console ports being a bad thing, newsflash!!! Most people have jobs and commute. So having console games on the go is awesome.
