the vita is the GBA 2
despite the digital purchases monopoly sony put on its backwards compatibility, it has the largest library of any single handheld.
400 more games than the GBA (approx 1,050) (including JP)
plus the PSP library (860)
plus the PS1 Library (almost 2500 PSX games available via piracy)
(PS2 remakes count as Vita titles already)

i understand those numbers are pretty ridiculous in terms of time commitment, but there's just so much to be enjoyed with the thing. I love my Vita.

I like my Vita a lot. It hasn't gotten as much use as my other 3 platforms this gen and was kind of an impulse purchase but at the end of the day I'm not upset that I have one.
My friend bought one after he saw mine and he went out and bought one almost instantly. He's in absolute love with the thing. I really don't understand it. I think he may have bought into the power meme a little bit too much/doesn't fully understand streaming. He seems to think PS3/360/Dolphin emulation is going to be a possibility on this thing one day and I think culprit for it might be that he doesn't quite understand what is happening between his Vita and PS4 during crossplay/my WiiU tablet and my WiiU

Unless I'm completely retarded about hardware and actually the Vita is in fact that powerful.

I'd be happy if Sony produced a Switch look alike. With how the Vita went though, I'm not hopeful. Something tells me it will only turn into the next generation weeb device. Even worse, I doubt they'll make the thing work with standardized memory cards and instead continue to opt for expensive proprietary memory storage again.

I would like to be surprised though.

You are probably thinking about mura, not burn in.

a PSP can emulate most of what the Vita can with relative ease (and is very cheap and easy to hack, ~50$), unless i'm ignorant to any PS2 emulation on the Vita.

>>384096971
Mura is different from burn-ins.
Mura is something all OLEDs have and the burn-in issues only affect Vitas that have been on four hours without anything changing, nor the screen dimming.

So literally impossible unless you're actively attempting to burn an image

It's a screen with controllers attached to the side.

No AAA titles, so normies didn't buy it.
A console normies don't buy is a "failure" despite being a financial success because true success only comes with mainstream crossover appeal that makes investors happy.

Because they went full anal with the custom firmware protection.

PSP was a great machine despite having pretty similar lukewarm support just because of the fact that the custom firmware turned it into an emulator machine that worked very well.

Xbox One. Nothing but the flashiest of AAA blockbusters.

>>384094642
Didn't catch on in Western (NA plus EU) regions at all. Did okay in Japan hence it is still supported by Jap devs but no one else.

I have a launch OLED PSV. It's a good piece of tech but the library is absymal for a non-weeb such as myself. Just collecting dust...luckily I stopped updating in mid 2013 so I was able to get hacks on it and play the handful of games that look interesting before retiring it to my garage storage bin.

It's easy money? The attach rate on the console is insane. I'm not a dev so I don't care.
>Second largest gaming library at 1410 games
If this is not counting PSone and PSP at all and really just exclusively PSVita there's a LOT of shit you don't want to play in that library. Nobody is arguing that it has bad multiplatform support. PSone, PSP, some other stuff vita the store or hacking and Vita games isn't a bad library. Just Vita games kinda is though.
>Still getting LE renditions and still being made in the Asian countries (officially outliving the 3DS)
Because the 3DS is getting a replacement.
The Dreamcast got games into 2014, it outlived the PS2, Xbox, and Gamecube too. But the 3DS and especially WiiU are also a pretty viable piracy machine right now and the Switch will fill the same niche as the Vita eventually.
>mfw I got five Vita titles on pre-order and two others bundled together with these pre-orders laying in wait

They released the PS4 Pro in the same generation as the PS4 in order to cover the 4K market, as a lot of people now have 4K capable TV's. Microsoft is doing the same thing with XBOX, which heavily implies the creation of a long lasting platform.

The PC architecture contained within consoles have reached functional peak. They can output 4K, and anything above that would not only be redundant, but stupidly expensive. Considering one of the major reasons (and selling points) of new consoles getting made are it's increases in graphical fidelity, you can see why a PS5 makes little sense. This is of course discounting something revolutionary in terms of tech happening that somehow raises graphics and performance for a low price.

PS4 has a stupidly large adoption rate and PS+ is generating a stupid amount of money. Risking breaking that up by investing heavily into a new console that you never know people may decide to buy would be a very poor financial decision. People won't buy the PS5 for exclusives alone - there has to be something more to it, and currently the PS4 covers it all.

gotta admit it looked pretty good except for the oval face buttons

why they didn't go with a row along the bottom of the screen for auxiliary buttons is beyond me, would've been a nice nod to the classic look of the PSP and probably would've also looked cleaner. Also the pattern on the 'touch pad' thing on the back looked weird to me when it first came out.

as for why it failed, it was overpriced, had little in the way of games except for weebshit, and the memory cards were expensive as fuck.
the AT&T partnership thing for cellular functions was pointless and a bad idea in general, I remember it getting booed when it was first announced.
>>
>>384094995

Not him but I have more Vita games than I have Steam games. If you take into account only physical titles, that would be 60 boxes -- just enough to cover three shelves.

The thing about the Vita is that they're $20 cheaper than the PS4 versions, and with prime discounts end up being $32 for day-one purchases. For smaller games, that price goes down to ~$10 - ~$20, so seeing large library collections on Vita isn't really that rare.

On the other hand, a lot of Vita titles are hefty as fuck for resale too, so these people could be playing the market.

No there isn't. There may be a very small minority that buys a bunch of Vita games but the reason why devs found a home on the Vita is because those devs found a reliable 20k fans who legitimately like their work.
The Vita is composed of multiple microcosms that these devs individually appeal to.
>>
>>384099365
based on what exactly? I can imagine PS4 owners didn't jump all over Tearway or Gravity Rush because they were primarily Vita games to start, but I find it hard to believe that new PS4 only titles won't sell better than they would on the Vita.

Vita is the best handheld ever in terms of tech/design. It's a shame it didn't even receive half of PSP's support. If it did, it would've been the best handheld of all time.

Maybe if Nintendo unfucks themselves and release an actual portable version of Switch with a proper d-pad it might be dethroned.

Your console could be god in technical format, but a god without religion is nothing.

Nintendo handhelds do good because nintendo itself can make videogames to bat for it, so even if nobody else jumps onboard to dev for them, they already have their own library

The Vita is straight up dog shit. It's a system you put trash games on and nothing more. When it did get a good game, a PC / PS4 version was instantly announced with superior editions making them the definitive way to play those games.
>The library is huge!
All shit. I hacked my Vita and haven't touched it since. All of those games and absolutely nothing of value. It's got the quality control of Steam Green Light.
>B-b-but I like cute girls!
So do I, but not at the cost of solid gameplay, audio, story and atmosphere. Your shitty moe games are bottom of the barrel garbage.

3DS may not have the quantity of vita games, but it sure as hell destroys it in the quality department, and 3DS doesn't have to worry about other systems stealing its games either.
The 3DS's list of exclusive must play games absolutely dwarfs the Vita's list. It isn't even close.

Vita had potential the be the GOAT handheld, but the lack of any decent games killed it. All the people who say the library is good are ironic twitter weeaboos who will just play anything with cute girls because "haha dude anime girls lmao."

The devs just make the bare minimum of a game, tack on a shit story and cute girls, then shovel it off for the retards to consume.

Nothing on the Vita could even hope to beat the abundance of quality games like Bravely Default & Bravely Second.

Lmao, the only "support" Vita gets are garbage VNs, which are as much games as Goosebumps is.

Besides VNs (which is limited to nipland), there's actually quality shit like Ys Celceta, Soul Sacrifice Delta, P4G, God Eater, Freedom Wars, Odin Sphere/Muramasa Rebirth, WoF, etc.

You can't make this up.
Celceta is a joke of a game. It's easily the worst game in the entire Ys franchise. Even Kefin destroys it in terms of quality.
Persona 4 is a glorified high school sim with a trash story that's also predictable as fuck.

3DS has a complete monopoly on JRPG's out of the two handhelds.

Tablets, cellphones, and Nintendo killed it.

I remember being hyped about it after years of owning the PSP. However everyone around me was only hyped about Nintendo's DS at the time. Everyone wanted their portable Mario and Zelda. Can't blame them since nobody really knew the PSVita was even coming out, because Sony did a shit job of marketing it.

When it did come out it was flooded with weeb shit and nothing for the casual western market. Meanwhile Nintendo was being Nintendo. Finally we stated seeing some ads later that year, but it was all about "Gaming on the go", but by this point all teens either had a DS or cellphone and most adults were buying into the tablet craze. Sony was late to the game.

I also remember that Sony really pushed that PS3 sync thing (You could continue to play your PS3 session on the Vita when you had to leave your home). It wasn't explained very well, so many people assumed the Vita was a fancy PS3 controller instead of a successor to the PSP. (does this remind anyone of the WiiU problem?)

it's got support. It doesn't have AAA support. There's a really big difference. It's still getting 4 or 5 games every month just in the west. dozens every month if you count jap releases. It was hurt because people were paranoid initially of the piracy scene ruining it like the PSP was ruined, only after it came out and everyone caught on to the retarded memory card scandal did people realize how worthless it would be to develop for it, since games have been getting bigger and bigger and it'd be difficult to make a decent game that could fit on the smaller memory cards that people would buy because no one in their right mind bought a 16gb card or even a 32gb card until they went on sale much much much later after launch.

>>384112142

What was the launch price when it came out? I know it's like $200 now, which is the same price as a N3DS, but it was more expensive when it launched. And if I recall, they were actually selling it at a loss since it would have been even more expensive otherwise.
>>
>>384112592
$250 for wi-fi, $300 for 3G model. 3G only ever worked with at&t in the USA and they stopped supporting it pretty shortly after the system launched due to infrastructure upgrades and higher desire for 4G servicing. I literally tried to get a 3G plan and it wasn't available anymore through the device, I called and they couldn't even set it up. Pretty disappointing. At least hotspots exist now so I just use my phone.

Considering the lawsuit was because the commercials were fucking wrong and banked heavily on a feature that didn't really exist, thus making Sony either outright liars or simply too incompetent to make sure their commercial creators knew what they were peddling, I'd file that under "too stupid to market in the west."

I think ninja gaiden sigma 1 and 2 used it, and that's it. Like I don't know of any other games that use it and it's a damn shame cause I really like it as a feature. It's super handy on PS1 games to be able to do menu scrolling for JRPGs with the back pad.

Shut the fuck up you crying cunt, lmao. The excuse for why they are exclusive is irrelevant.
The Vita is dead world wide. It sells 4k in japan while the 3DS still does 20+k
All of the shovelware for the shita comes out for superior systems as well, with superior resolution and other changes making the vita versions sell fuck all. There hasn't been a vita game in a top 20 games sold list in years.

>>384094995
Sony knows that they can't compete with Nintendo in the handheld department, which is why they're trying to double the fuck down and get some actual system sellers for PS4, like Monster Hunter, though whether or not it will perform well in Japan, we'll just have to wait and see. The Switch has consistently been sold out since launch, and with the addition of a core Pokemon RPG on it, it's going to sell more than the Wii U easily.

Nintendo has it easy at least in Japan, in America they just have to keep the pace. And then they have yurop were they need to pray to sell good there.

A hole in one, pal. I will wait until later when Vita gets hugely discounted and by then there will be an actual SD card adapter available from ebay/amazon (no way I'm soldering shit now) and then buy it and pirate the shit out of it.
>>
>>384118084
chances are they'll just shut down the online store by that point like they did to the PSP. CFW on the vita has totally stalled out too. No real progress since the first breakthrough. It's now or never.

>>384118129
Not a big loss to me. There is nothing that I really want to play on vita as of now and if there will be no point buying it in future that's not a big deal.
