With excellent graphics, a superb 5in screen, dual-analogue and touch screen controls and a host of other goodies, PS Vita narrows the gap between console and handheld, and reminds you why a dedicated mobile gaming device is a good idea.
The Vita is a well-designed system, albeit one that Sony left for dead as soon as it hit its first bump in the road. If it weren't for a couple negative quirks, it might have even been one of the best handhelds ever made. Unfortunately, those quirks have turned into awful problems as of late, and have only served to tarnish the legacy of what has otherwise been an excellent cult system.
I like the Vita a lot. I actually blame Sony in putting less faith in it than it should
I'll always find it hilarious how even when Sony seemingly abandoned their second handheld, Vita still outsold Wii U which was heavily supported by Nintendo.
Never underestimate the power that third party support can do for a platform.
got the vita although it was dead on arrival. mobile gaming on dedicated machines is deadder than dead. oh wait, the switch is doing stellar, even rivaling the ps4, the xbox and the new xoxbox. ok, let's forget for one second about the absolute market dominator: when was the last time you saw someone playing his or her dedicated machine outside? I can't really remember. what I'm seeing everyday though is that everybody and their little daughter got smartphones when they are on their way to go somewhere.
Vita was and still amazing. Playing uncharted and gravity rush on it was simply epic. Such a shame Sony gave up on it
Are you a huge PS Vita fan? If the answer is yes, and you absolutely adore your Playstation Vita then this video is going to be tough for you. The VitaBoys count down the top 5 best PS Vita games that got cancelled.
The PlayStation Vita is such an underrated handheld device that it's almost sickening on how it just disappeared in the hands of gamers. And even though the Vita vanished off the face of the earth, this does not mean that a next gen Vita isn't welcomed. If another iteration of the PS Vita does come to be, than this could spell disaster for the Nintendo Switch.
i m calling it now...No Monster Hunter 5 No portable console for me .....if Vita 2 is to be released with games like 'portable"Uncharted&a mp;a mp;q uot; , portable "Horizon", portable Assasin Creed , is Hell NO ...portable consoles need proprietary games (ex Splatoon Monster Hunter, Gravity Rush ..games that can be played portbale) and not degraded versions of home console games (huge mistake from Sony to support Vita with Uncharted and Killzone (two mediocre appeal IPs that could only be enjoyed on pS3 because their graphical superiority) and most importantly Vita died because its main life source MHou series was stolen/went Nintendo exclusive ...
There is no PS Vita 2 lol so good luck with that. PS Vita had way worse games than the WiiU and was a disaster outside of Japan.
Switch has Dragon Quest XI
The next potential PlayStation handheld will not.
That alone spells which will be more successful
Can't come soon enough. I can't believe I'll have to wait until 2012 to get it. Why Sony? Why?!!
makes me laugh when they say it aint close to ps3 or 360! or the details on it is abit rubbish!! u know what i say to that!?! dont u still think that the game might still be in development maybe??
I am not 2 worried about battery life because i am pretty sure that Sony will shove a pretty potent battery in this this. I mean its a 5 inch handheld and it isnt paper thin so theres plenty of space for a big batter. I predict that the Vita will have around 8 hours worth of battery life which is a lot better than 3 or 4 hours that the 3DS has (with everything on and maxed)
Anyways we have to wait until TGS to find out.
"PS Vita narrows the gap between console and handheld"
That gap should be as wide as the ocean. More original games for all systems instead of the ports, multiplats, repackagings we keep seeing.
The amount of new games in the market hasnt been this low since the crash
I really dont know why people are saying the portable market is dieing. The 3DS sales are above what the original DS sales were in its first year even with its high price and the price drop will now see it sell even quicker but they are also forgetting the DS and PSP are still selling very well because of the amount of games that are available for them and Pokemon has just come out for the DS so this will of helped people pick a DS over a 3DS.
Both the PSV and 3DS will be fine and both will sell very well. I have a 3DS and can not fault the Device at all and never had a problem with the 3D screen or battery life. The only thing I do with the 3DS over my PSP is I put the 3DS back on the dock so its always charged where the PSP gets charged when it is flat but that is because it has not got a doc. If Sony release a doc for the PSV I ill end up doing the same with that.
Im also glad Nintendo and Sony are looking in different directions with how they want there handheld devices to play games as it gives us more choice and reason to get both console just like 360/kinect PS3/Move and Wii/wii U next year.
Even though the games industry has lost some big names this gen I think the home and portable industry are going to have some big times ahead of them with what we are seeing form Microsoft, Nintendo and Sony.
