Cool ad .

It's turned into an indie system. I can do that stuff on my tablet on a big screen. Remote play is nice when it works. Remote play isn't enough to get me using my Vita again though...

If you don't want to game on your phone or tablet but need the game in your hands and you don't like 3DS' more youthful marketed titles then get a Vita.

[vikingland1]

It's great for the PS eco system.

[Shineon]

Stop telling the truth, your killing fanboyz

@Apollosupreme

I got a Sony tablet Z and tried the games that are available for the Vita on the tablet... but nah! it ain´t the same.

[Apollosupreme]

They keep showing up to vote disagree while offering nothing to the conversation. I'd love to actually hear why I am wrong or how I am failing to see the value of the system now going into 2016 over a tablet, phone or 3DS.

Dont plan on selling my Vita but damn, it's getting XCOM now and I'd be excited for that if it weren't already out on almost every other hand held not called a 3DS. When I look at what's coming for Vita I see nothing that excites me or wouldn't be a better experience on some other platform. I am keeping it for my late 1990's-early 2000's off and on JRPG craving and that's about it... But let's forget most of those are on tablet now too... I don't play them on tablet because Sony doesn't offer an emulator for tablet to enjoy my PSN purchases. Maybe one day...

Get a vita if you like to play Senran Kagura's touch events in public, with high volume. That'll be entertaining.

Seriously, if you're a brainless sony fanboy, get a Vita. If you must play Persona 4 Golden, instead of Persona 4, get a vita. Else, get something that has a future. Sony is putting everything into PS4 and PSVR, they don't care about the Vita.

[Apollosupreme]

@Protagonist

Did you hook up a DS3 or a DS4 or are we talking touch screen controls? If you need physical buttons there are really good options for tablets out there.

@Vhampir

Sony's VR is a much better investment to those who have a PS4 if they're considering a Vita. I agree.

[Boomtonic]

The best handheld ever. It is absolutely the perfect gift for someone who loves Playstation and/or top quality gaming on the go. Sony may not be making more AAA games for it, but the big library of existing games and the huge amount of indies still coming to it makes it an amazing game console.

The only downside is the expensive memory cards.

[DarkOcelet]

I am very tempted to get one but i wish Sony would support it more by bringing more 1st party exclusives .

[ShadowKnight]

I use to have one! Its great it just don't have enough support and that's the only reason why I sold it. I think Smart Phones, IPads, and DS is the reason why it struggled.

[G20WLY]

The memory cards are too expensive, but shopping around nets better prices.

It's a great device though. If you have a PS4 and PS+, they're so cheap these days it's almost a no brainer. I remote play my PS4 before bed (and at hotels) and use the PS+ games or cheapo PlayStation classics when I'm on train/plane/taxi journeys. I love it.

[Protagonist]

@Boomtonic

I agree!, it´s the best gaming handheld created, but I still only got my launch 4GB card and never had the need for more. I buy almost all my Vita games retail. So unless you go all digital, I don´t see the problem.

[Novistador]

*top quality gaming*
HAH

[waltyftm]

I would love one.

6. money in their pockets

There I fixed that for you.

[UserNameIsNotTaken]

Could be said about anything really

[MegaRay]

I love Vita, but Sony are the last people to give me reasons to "gave" a Vita. I can understand why they dont make AAA for the system, but not mentioning it in big events like E3 and so on is so stupid, and now they act like they care...

[Protagonist]

I agree they/Sony were pretty shitty with the Vita at E3, but there was plenty of Vita at the Playstation experience a few days ago.

[MegaRay]

PSX is for playstation fans, which they know what a Vita is anyway. But the gamers attend to E3 will must likely never heard of a Vita except as a "dead" system, or in a "no games" joke. They should show gamers that Vita is still exist and alive, instead of hiding it as if they're embarrassed of it.

[Chrisgamerguy]

Sony said themselves that there are no more 1st party exclusives going to the handheld so no thanks. They already killed it. :(

[FullmetalRoyale]

When I play fantastic games like Dangagnronpa, it sure doesn't feel dead. If you want "Sony games", that ship has sailed. But if you want great games, there are a lot I still haven't played(and I've had mine for years) and more coming. It's not an issue if you aren't waiting for GoW or whatever.
All that being said... as much as I love, and use my Vita, the fact that I'm the one speaking up about it(and not Sony) is what sucks to me.

[donwel]

Danganronpa v3 next year m8. Looking forward to it.

[ARESWARLORD]

Sold mine for $50. No regrets.

[Protagonist]

Good for you, now you can stop posting in the Vita section.

[MegaRay]

You got ripped buddy.

[Junebug]

Nobody cares. ;)

[OtakuDJK1NG-Rory]

So what I got from this 6 reason is use your Vita for Remote Play.

[Skankinruby]

Makes me sad, such an amazing machine that was never given a chance

[Junebug]

People need to move on and just not ruin others who enjoy the vita. You guys are just stuck in 2012. Really sad if you are... :/

[Dewitt]

My Vita has been collecting dust since I finished Gravity Rush and now the sequel isn't even on the Vita. Very disappointed that they completely gave up on this platform.

[Junebug]

It is both Sony and the consumers fault for misunderstanding as well as misguided anger...

[remanutd55]

Sony is actually advertising the vita? METATON!!!
