How do you feel about Sony leaving the handheld market?

I thought the vita was great but I think the Switch will fill the void since I mostly played it at home and played indies.

It sucks PSP was the best handheld ever

the ridiculous memory cards and the lack of any games except anime trash killed it

Are they abandoning the Japanese market then? Japs don't buy home consoles.

>>381802116
That's what you think!

>>381801661
Sony did fuck all with the PSP. They don't deserve to be in the market.

They just sit back and road its success by relaying on 3rd parties/MH to drive sales.

They thought that'd be the case again with the Vita but it backfired on their ass big time.

>>381801661
Disappointed. Honestly what went wrong with the vita? Considering the PSP was pretty damn successful, I was excited for the vitas release only to be let down years later.

Sony will release a portable ps4 that has built in LTE, can make calls/receive texts, works with any ps4 game the user owns.

Handhelds are probably fucked period not just Sony's. All we will get anymore are these hybrid abominations from Nintendo. 3ds/Vita will probably be my last handhelds.

>>381801661
Considering the Swtich's success Sony might consider making a similar hybrid-style device.

Bit sad since competition is always better than just giving one company all the power. Loved my PSP and Vita.
I do think it's nice that they turned it around from the PSP had piracy so bad it made localizations crawl to a snails pace, but the Vita got so much obscure and niche games localized for it that we never would have thought would come over in a million years. Its legacy will be it subsidized the weeb game market on Steam and PS4.

Its for the best. Sony clearly stopped caring years ago.

the Vita was some nice hardware but Sony was shit at pushing it and constantly undercut reasons to get it (expensive memory cards, advertised as a PS3 accessory, kept releasing its exclusive games on PS3/PS4, Playstation TV).

shouldn't have even bothered making it.

That's complete bullshit and you know it. Even fucking Super Metroid has issues running on the PSP. It was a great portable emulator back in 2007, but you can get a fucking PSP shaped Android device for $50 that will run longer with a better screen and less emulation glitches.
The PSP is outdated.

It does, but they specifically point out things like the charging port and headphone jack and that'd be a weird spot for those on a regular tablet.
That said, this is likely one of those patents they make just in case, not something they definitely plan to do.

>>381801661
Sad, because I'll finally have to buy a PS4 for all the games and franchises that were on Vita and I don't want that shit, Switch has no games and won't get anything more than the same tired, rehashed franchises for little kids and normalfags, so it's not even an option.

>>381807560
I bet you also think nothing is wrong with ZSnes and N64 emulation is perfectly fine.

Just because an emulator run a handful mainstream games doesn't mean it's good.

Ambivalent. I didn't care much for the PSP itself but it had some great games and CFW really expanded its functionality, and I very much wanted to like the Vita but it was overpriced and the games just didn't really do a lot for me.


>>381802704
I have a 3DSXL and a VitaTV, which was well worth the $40 even if it basically ended up being a dedicated ToukidenKiwami and Tittyninjas box.

Nigger the Switch is basically just a modern PSP with full controls and a fancier video cable. Which is great, really, both from the relative power and HDMI-instead-of-component-cable aspects. Shame they overpriced it by about $50 just like the WiiU before it.

They were never in it. The PSP and Vita were both dog shit with not a single decent game between them. The PS1 is the only good thing Sony has ever produced.

>Sony will die in your lifetime

We did it bros

>>381808853
Vita is great because there's some really neat niche stuff on it, not as much as the PSP but it has a really good library if you're the kind of guy who likes more experimental games, the hardware itself is great and being able to play PSP and PSX games on the go without even needing hacks is great, shame Sony is completely retarded and couldn't make it flourish like the PSP, between the home console and handheld market they chose home consoles, we'll see how that plays out, maybe focusing on one console will be the return of the PS2, but I doubt it, times have changed.

>>381809278
Wii U was already being sold at a loss. Switch would be, too, if they dropped the price by $50. The price is really low for how much they cost to make.

Sony cucked the Vita by making it use propitiatory memory cards. It's a shame really since it's a really great console.

Sucks because I use Vita more then my 3ds, Sony is just in a state of cockiness, and just being corporate dumbass that only thing saving it is PS4. A Vita 2 would be nice but I highly doubtful it'll happen since Sony can't do anything right for consumers. Especially since the PSP was so successful, and ALL they need to do is just let people use off brand sd cards, for the mobile Stuff let them choose what provider they want instead of just At&t, keep the OLED screen, and have a good battery life , and they'll hit the gold mine

Happy but only if the Vita's traditional library finds its way onto the Switch.

There needs to be at least one high tier handheld out there for those who want to play games on the go.

>>381811458
the only reason I haven't bought a vita is because I can run CFW on my psp with 128gb of memory so I can keep 80+ games plus emulators plus the entire season of my favorite anime.

>>381812234
Usually the OG 1k, but that's because I've got a massive backlog of shit on it. I think I might own more Vita games than games for any other system, it's got to be over 100 games at this point.

2k is my homebrew/JP PSN system. I mostly use it when I want to play Touhou songs in Taiko V.

I'm pissed. The PSP was the best console ever and the Vita had potential to top that. PS2 classics support would have made it a godtier handheld.

I should probably check the used/clearance scene to see if I can find any good games like when the PSP finally passed away.

>>381812269
Yes but before the 3.60, if it is then I'm not sure if you can reduce it back several updates, but over time people will find a way to get free games, and emulate on the current update

>>381801661
A little sad and empty. The vita is my most played platform ever and I bought over 40 games for it, much more than I have for any other system aside from the 3DS, which I have 28 games for. This last generation of handhelds is probably the most fun I've had with video games.

>>381813792
Vita has proprietary memory based off of the long dead M2 card standard. Sony also has another storage standard they can use for the mythical "Vita 2"

>>381813664
Can't you uninstall updates?

>>381813792
No. There is a micro SD adapter now though. You need a 3g fat vita for it to work. It replaces the 3g thingy with a board that holds a micro SD

>>381814197
No. Even if you factory reset it it stays on the current firmware.

>>381813536
Good. It's Retroarch, so I just use the SNES9X core.
>>381813664
Good thing most of the worthwhile games on Vita are pre-3.60. And even some games (like Caligula) have English patches for the pre-3.60 Japanese version.
>>381813792
No, the Vita uses overpriced proprietary memory cards, not standard microSD cards. The PSP was great because despite also using overpriced proprietary memory cards, there were unofficial adapters that allowed you to use microSD cards, saving you money while also allowing you more storage space

It's hugely disappointing. My PSP was easily my favorite console I ever owned. I wish I still had it but my ex gf back in the day bricked it by being a retard. And pic related I just bought two weeks ago and I've been having an absolute blast, I already like it more than my 3ds.

The day Sony stops having a footprint in the handheld market is a sad day for vidya.

That's nowhere near PS2-tier. Not saying it's bad, though.
>>381814939
The frontend/API is what allows the cores to be easily ported to other platforms. For example, if it wasn't for Retroarch/Libretro, Genesis Plus GX would still be Wii-exclusive. The only reason it exists on other platforms is due to being added to Retroarch

>>381812269
N3DS is better for 2D game emulation. The low res screen perfectly suit old games.

Both (3DS and Vita) stop at N64. Look into the Nvidia Shield or GPD Win if you're interested.

Wrong.

>>381815863
>N3DS is better for 2D game emulation.
I see where you're coming from but no fucking way. The dual screens are nothing but a nuisance when emulating old games, and the dpad is absolute shit.

Meanwhile the original vita has a better screen, 20x better dpad, and is more comfy to hold because the dpad is in a reasonable position.

3ds would be a lot better if they made a model where the circle pad and dpad were switched positions, and the dpad was a bit bigger

>>381811034
Are white Wii U's rare or something? I got mine a month after launch and I didn't realize they had stopped being sold within a year.

>>381801661
Same way I'd feel if Nintendo left the handheld market.

Nothing.

I have two vitas actually, I had an old OLED one, then the screen died and I got a new LCD/slim one. Then recently a cousin of mine fixed the screen on the first one and so now I have two (And one memorycard).

I got a couple games for it. But then again, I got a DS with a total of two games. I never could get into handheld gaming because I always play in sessions of 4+ hours and I just can't comfortably do that with a handheld, its a neat way to pass a little free time, but I never thought of handhelds as real gaming.

Literally makes no difference. I barely even noticed Sony was in the handheld market. No one I've ever met has even heard or seen a PSP or Vita ever. It's the Bigfoot of handhelds.

Yeah i meant backpack, i was focusing too much on her tits.

The game looks fun, i'm digging that spiderman gameplay with madoka backgrounds.

>>381816163
I just like how the games don't actually look like a blurry mess (due to the low res screen) and the screen 5:3 is closer to 4:3 than 16:9.

>>381816895
I remember that distinctly but I still went with the white one since I dislike black systems.

You must be fairly young. The PSP was pretty big back in the day, at least in the US. It wasn't DS big but you saw them around.

Yeah. Gotta admit I never bought a single PSP game. My UMD drive was never used once.

While I'm glad to see a Sony product fail as a result of their own incompetence, it's a somewhat bittersweet feeling because I actually have a Vita.

Let me guess, the vita final good game (DT2-2) it got doesn't work on 3.60 meaning you'd lose one of the main reason to have a vita to begin with.

I really do feel like neither one is comfortable without a grip.

How did they fall off so hard. The original PSP and DS were neck and neck.

People overestimate the memory card problem. $15 aren't going to stop someone from buying a system they want and most bundles come with a free memory card anyway.

The Vita biggest problem was always having no desirable, big selling software.

The Vita has nothing in the scope of Mario, Zelda, Pokemon, Animal Crossing etc

>>381819212
Give us L2/R2 buttons, remove rear touch, and make the handheld strong enough to play actual PS2 classics and not falsely advertise the handful of ports as HD remasters.

>>381819874
Sony decided they hated the Vita and everyone who bought one.

>>381820146
Should we get rid of the cameras too? We already had to sacrifice Tearaway since we ditched the back touchscreen, might as well lose the cameras too.

>>381817530
I've very old. And I'm in the US. Never saw anyone with a PSP except one kid on an airplane once. I just remember the local stores cutting down the shelf space for PSP within a year and it quickly faded away.

>>381820945
>DS had an assload of shovelware though.
every single console released since the turn of the millenium and arguably before that has had an extremely high percentage of shovelware, this is the worst argument people ever use for console wars

I spent most of my PSP hours playing RPGs(phenomenal FF machine) and Dissidia, along with a bunch of puzzle games, while on DS I felt like I played a lot more genres

I'm old too, I graduated high school the year it came out. It wasn't a kid console, it was something I saw kids in hs and college playing. Hell no less than 3 of my friends in college had one.

>I spent most of my PSP hours playing RPGs(phenomenal FF machine)
The hours spent playing Breath of Fire IV and Legend of Legaia in the backroom of the vitamin store I worked in after high school...those were the days.

Smartphones absolutely destroyed the handheld market. People just use those to pass time on the bus or train now instead of games.
Last gen was 80M PSPs and 150M DS. Or about 230M total.
This gen is about 60M 3DS and 12M Vitas. Or about 72M total.
The market is now 3 times smaller than just last gen. 3DS couldn't even outsell the PSP. Hell, 3DS and Vita together couldn't even outsell the PSP.

That's not really that big of an accomplishment. The Game Gear and the Lynx didn't exactly have stellar libraries.

>>381813321

I dunno. The fucking vita memory cards really put a damper on things. I had to pay $50 for 32gb, and a 64gb card costs more than what I paid for the vita itself.

In 3 years, a modded Switch will be the best handheld ever.

>>381801997
lel,it had no games don't kid yourself.

It's 66 million, actually. And why would it be bad for Nintendo that Sony is out? Nintendo has proven with Switch there's plenty of demand for a handheld in the market.

Why did the Vita fail? It looked really good to me, like it should have been a success. I never bought one, but I didn't buy a 3DS either so that doesn't mean anything.
Was it just because no gaems? Why weren't there games, though?

I've been wanting to get one for awhile. I'm interested in the super-portability. My SP works just fine, but with a micro I could have the ultimate portable experience.

>>381823339
Too expensive in the era of mobile games. Nintendo knows you have to keep handheld prices low because a lot of these units will be purchased by parents for their kids. Sony wanted to make a "premium" handheld that would be expensive status symbol like an iPhone. That doesn't work.

>>381801661

I have a 2000 model though and it's glossy black, and I thought all of Japan's were too. Is it a special edition?

>>381818760

>>381822943
PSP is actually 82M and DS 154M too but that's not really important.
All I'm saying is the handheld market now isn't anything like it was just 7 years ago. It's good the Switch is selling, but they'll never get to the place they were at last gen. I'd be surprised if they got their numbers up in the 3DS + Vita numbers actually.
3DS is not still selling very well either. It and Vita are on the very tail end of their lives. It'll be a miracle if they even get the 3DS up to 72M total, which is still under PSP numbers from last gen.

>>381824186

There's a custom build of an certain SNES emulator on the PSP that actually works, but it's hard to find sadly. The only games I found that didn't work well on it were Tales of Phantasia and Star Ocean (granted, those are understandably hard to emulate in general), and games that make heavy use of Mode 7. Hell, even Super Mario RPG with it's fucking SA-1 chip works perfectly save for a very minor FPS drop here and there. I'll dig it out of my PSP's memory card and post a download link if enough people care.

I feel like Sony should make a deal with Nintendo and corner both markets. The Switch is the next step toward Nintendo absolutely owning the handheld/mobile market, and the PS4 has dominated this generation otherwise. Why not approach Nintendo with the possibility of a partnership?

Sony will produce exclusive titles for the Switch as long as it is marketed as a mobile device (the new gameboy) and Nintendo will produce Nintendo console titles for the Playstation.

>>381828506
no competition = bad for consumers, so I'm not sure why you'd want that

PSP was definitely one of the top 3 portables of all time.

Vita shoulda honestly just been a Psp go with a modern smartphone look. Sony tries too hard to go "mini console in the palm of your hand" and it just comes off as gimped and the console is too fucking big.

I hope sony gives it one more shot because this gen of handhelds is honestly the worst. I remember having shit tons of DS games to play but the 3ds is just so trash

>>381827583

I'm not happy about it as I love my PSP and Vita but they borked the Vita so I understand.

Sad, the PSP was ahead of its time and handhelds are much better than modern home consoles, smartphone gaming is also Tiger Handheld-tier.
All sony had to do was giving a shit about it on the western side and not going full overkike on memory sticks, and Nintendo is plotting to abandon handhelds too with the switch and mobile games.
