It was the most successful Kickstarter and made a lot of money. It wasn't a failure for the people that made it, but it failed in every other aspect. It's the quintessential "The people took the money and ran" Kickstarter.

>>389074079
Nintendo consoles prior to the Wii were not underpowered.
Then N64 and Gamecube didn't sell very well, so they released the underpowered Wii hardware (as they did with their handhelds) and it sold hundreds of millions.

>>389074159
Didn't they go bankrupt paying everyone back? Then nvidia bailed them out?

>>389073986
it sounded like a good idea at the time because flash memory was expensive for little storage.

Each model has different advantages so it's hard to say.
>1000
guaranteed pandorable, so no brick risk. worth it if you want to try weird homebrew shit. Otherwise the worst of the bunch. Worst screen.
>2000
Maybe pandorable. Better build quality. Better screen, but it's still blurry. Comes with double the RAM (so do all later models) which improves games. You can't live without the extra RAM for the SNES emulator since it lets you use the background CPU for sound emulation.
>3000
Better screen with more vibrant colors, but suffers from a weird "scanline" issue. Hard to say if it's better than the 2000 screen. Everything else is the same.
>Go
The weird one. Finally has a screen that doesn't have some major drawback, but the whole console is pretty small. Might cramp your hands and you can't claw for monhun. Comes with 16GB built in, but memory card adaptors don't exist for cheap expansions like earlier PSPs so don't count on getting any more.
>Street
worthless, don't bother.

Emulation for SNES and GBA isn't fantastic, you'll have to frameskip a lot of games. SNES games without expansion chips or mode 7 will generally hold 60fps though. PS1 is close to native performance. They're all hackable so don't worry about that.

>>389072862
it is actually impossible and it isnt capable of playing gamecube games due to lack of ports
the thing is useless

>>389076562
expensive memory cards were part of the problem, the main problem was that Vita had zero killer apps. 3DS had Monster Hunter, Pokemon, Mario, Dragon Quest, etc. All Vita had was shoddy PS3 and PS2 ports.

Even if you wanted to post the Vita, there's still a lot of consoles that had it much worse, like the Jaguar, 3DO, Dreamcast, Virtual Boy, Wii U and so on.

>>389075260
Not anywhere outside of Japan.

>>389077127
Software sales were shit.

And Unlike Nintendo they don't have that much of first party to back up it. A lot of games never got localized because piracy, the ones that got sold like shit.

>>389077214
>Software sales were shit.
that explains why it got games for 10+ years I guess.

>>389076463
>pretty good and diverse launch games
that you could get a much, much better version of on a console you probably already owned in fucking 2012. in fact that covers almost the entire Vita library, and most of the exclusives aren't worth shit.

>>389077113
You're probably just adjusted to the frameskip. Turn on the framecounter and you'll find that a lot of games run well below full speed.
On the other hand, SNES (which is often reported to be crap) was fairly stable for me outside of those chip/mode7 games.

I also find that audio desync

>>389077114
sony literally turned it into a legacy console and had to come out and say they weren't done in the portable market because it bombed so hard people just assumed they would give up. Just cause some companies are still making games for it doesn't mean it didn't bomb. And yes it sold more than the wii u but the wii u also bombed hard so you're saying it bombed but didn't bomb as hard as the wii u.

to be fair, all those attachment rates aside from the PS360 are fucking awful, but the PSP is just indefensible and proves that, the other anon was telling the truth, that being an 80 million selling system had poor selling software. While the few people who own a Vita clearly buy games for it.

I mean, you can be a salty drone all you want but the wii u shat the bed pretty badly. The vita at the very least found a sustainable audience.

>>389078157
The vita's last reported attach rate was 11:1. That's incredibly high

>>389078157
3.77 * 80 million > 4.33 * 16 million. (vgchartz)

PSP games sold a fuckton better than Vita games going by your metric. And the Vita still gets games, just like the PSP got games.

that is incredibly high, Nintendo posted similar stats a few years ago, the 3DS had a similar number, I think 10-11, I can't remember
>>389078334
Anon, I don't think you get how attachment rates work, 3.7 for an 80 million selling system is poor, especially in comparison to the PS360 who both sold around 80 million

>>389078791
Sure is poor, but the fact remains that games still sold more units.

While not an overwhelming success PSP still sold decently. I think the Vita is mostly popular in Asia. Gamegear and the N-Gage was bad though

>>389078926
No, anon, that's not how that works, what this means is that on average, a PSP owner only bought 3-4 games for their PSP, which means the average owner is a massive filthy casual. But as we both know, the vast majority of people out there fit into that description

>>389072702
>Wii mini
Aftermarket sales. They did this with NES and SNES as well. It's just a cheaper console to snag more sales. I think it's more of a testament to the fact that the Wii sold so many consoles and games.

>especially in comparison to the PS360 who both sold around 80 million
Bad comparison since it's obvious from the graph that home consoles had a much higher attachment rate in general compared to handhelds, for whatever reason

>>389079059
A fuckton of people buying a few games results in more games sold than a tiny number of people buying a decent number of games.

If we're talking about major producers (ex. only Nintendo, Sega, Sony, Microsoft) then its definitely the Vita.

Dreamcast dying is really SEGA's collective failure after almost a decade shitty decision making.

PSP had a slow start. The first year or two was a videogame drought but it still sold like 80 million units.

Wii U never sold that many consoles but it still has a dedicated user base and still has 1st party titles that are some of the best-selling the games this gen is you eliminate multiplats such as Cowadoody, GTA V, and FIFA games.

Vita is the real answer imo.

It just came out. Who knows how relevant it'll be 3 years from now.

>>389075260
In Japan maybe

>>389081443
the nindies thing they did showed some cool games coming out, but i am looking forward to more AAA titles.

Bruh it was a commercial failure

>>389074321
I remember someone in grade school tried to get me to say I had a psp and I kept asking him "why?" and I also said "they're too expensive atm, so no... I don't have one" and then he said "well it's because you have a pretty small penis (laughs)". Jokes on him though since his shitty joke didn't land.

>biggest failure in video game history

Not even considering the hyperbole, the PSP was actually kinda successful. Partially thanks to it's easy modding and piracy funny enough.

Also
What is the the Apple Pippin.

psp console

>>389072702
What's funny is that this will be the one collectors want a grand for in 20 years.

>>389080357
The PSPs were good for their time but don't hold up especially well. All no matter what everyone says they're garbage for emulation. SNES games had slowdown even.

>>389080357
Oh sorry I didn't answer your question. That model is considered pretty good if you don't mind it being digital only.

>>389082357
>What is the the Apple Pippin.
I think most people would ask the same question.

>>389082483
Depends on the game desu. Super Metroid runs smooth as butter.

>>389073369
The 10 versions of monster hunter that are on it.

It's the Virtual Boy or the 64DD
Both got literally like 5 games before being abandoned

At least shit like the Vita have legacy of being great when hacked and being one of the best-feeling handhelds that can emulate anything from NES to PS1 and a select few N64 games as well as play a few good Vita games.

>>389080357
>Bought one for 20 dollars
This thing is legendary for emulation and for good PSP games.

>>389083345

Only because it was the first one that was half-decent at it. It has not earned its reputation.

>failure
lol, are you fucking retarded, son?

>>389083427
What other portables have good emulators and easy piracy?

>>389073862
BAHAHAHA manchildrens never stop make me laugh

The PSP was a modest success, it gave Sony a little ground into the handheld market until they completely fucked everything up with the Vita. Actual failures would be pretty much every Sega console after the Genesis, the Virtual Boy and Wii U, the CD-i, the Ouya, every Atari console after the 2600 and so on.

>>389076845
and ill buy it. just because it will be the new dump for Visual novels.

>>389083716
>good emulators
bad question, because PSP emulators are middling in quality. People brag about running GBA games but they're too thick to see the massive frameskips.

>>389076845
I'll believe the rumors but on the flip side, if it doesn't happen I won't be too upset about it. I would love a Vita successor, but the amount of games I have backlogged on my Vita is worrying. Once I clear through it I'll probably just switch back to PC.

>Cheap redesign that tapped into Europoor market
Those things make tons of money. Same reason Fifa 14 came out for PS2.

Why would you think this was a failure?

These are the biggest fails in video game history:

Virtual Boy
Wii U
Playstation Vita
Phillips CD-i
Atari 2600
Ouya
Steam Machine

And these are the runner ups:

Xbox One
Playstation 4 Pro

>>389076714
PS1 IS native performance, the PSP nearly uses the same CPU as the PS1 did.

>>389082390
No, the SNES jr. and toploader both have actual advantages over the original versions of the console. The Wii Mini is worse in every possible way that matters.

>>389084387
It's hard to call the Vita a massive failure in any respect. It's just existing solely to sustain itself since its sales are enough to cover any potential loses with hardware.
The rest are significant flops though.

>>389084521
Fair points! But it's not 100% about advantages. The lower production runs make the Wii Mini more rare.

>>389084393
It uses dynamic recompilation, a form of emulation. There are a handful of emulation bugs, although they're pretty rare, and it's more prone to framedrops (e.g. Crash Team Racing).

Still, works pretty well.

>>389084387
>Lists Vita and Wii U
>No Dreamcast
>No NGage
>No Wonderswan
>Calling the shots on the Pro when Sony currently has a stranglehold on the home console market

>>389084637
Won't really affect the price, though. It's still not rare enough to make a difference. Stuff like the PC Engine Shuttle isn't worth that much more than a regular PC Engine, a Genesis 3 is worth far less than either of the other two models, a slim PS2 isn't worth more than a regular fat PS2, a PSOne isn't worth more than any of the variations on the original Playstation, etc.

Not a lot of Sega CD or 32X being mentioned either. They failed so hard that it eventually drove Sega out of the console market.

>>389072375
>not the ouya
please lurk for at least a minimum of 1 month before making your first thread

>>389072375
what?

the psp sold like hotcakes and had lots of good aaa exclusives. it wasn't a failure by any metric.

If you posted something that someone recognized, you're a fucking retard.

>>389085094
Sega CD was fine for its time, the only reason it's maligned so much nowadays is because people lump it in with the 32X, which came out a whole three years later.

>>389080192
uhhh the vita sold more than the wii u. that's embarrassing.

How the fuck? Atari 5200 I could understand but the 2600 was literally the first popular home game console

>>389080357
Friend of mine had it, claimed it was the best PSP version. Sucks that it didn't launch like this.

>>389085589
I'm assuming that Anon just looked up the Wikipedia article for E.T. the video game, and doesn't actually understand what the Atari 2600 actually was.

>>389072891
REMEMBER ME?

>>389080357
>cant even access the store anymore with this thing
Good thing it's so easy to pirate on the PSP or else it'd literally be a brick.

>>389080192
The WiiU barely had any firmware updates even though the newest firmware was exploitable.
I think it was 5.5.1 that got cracked and that released around Jan 2016 if I'm not mistaken.

The fucking 3DS had shitloads of updates to prevent piracy. Nintendo stopped giving a fuck about the WiiU a long time ago.

The Virtual Boy was probably a bigger failure.

Not to mention all the other shit like the 3DO

if you run on a psp1000 without the extra ram, sure

>>389077707
>>389077392
>Sony dropped it
>even though security updates release all the fucking time

Huh

>>389086116
As far as I can tell, the extra RAM only matters for the ME builds of snes9xtyl and Daedalus.
snes9xtyl with ME support still runs suboptimally. F Zero can hold a steady 30fps in my experience. Megaman X3 ran smoothly for the short time I played it, which is surprising. Final Fantasy 6 wasn't as stable.

>>389080357
aside from using a shitty memory card format, it's pretty damn good. the form factor is perfect, it has bluetooth so you can sync headphones or a ps3 controller, and you can blow it wide open with CFW.

>>389086473
I never tried snes emulation but GBA was working flawlessly on my 3000 without frameskips. I was able to play rhythm games with no problem

It's the first handheld that managed to somewhat establish itself even though the handheld market is Nintendo's undisputed territory.
The Vita is actually also doing a lot better than some might think even though Sony fucked up a lot of shit with it.

Talking worldwide of course. The Wonderswan and NeoGeo Pocket were popular in Japan I hear

>>389086774
Metroid Zero Mission ran at an unstable 30fps for me. Megaman Zero was the same ball park, and I had to try a few different versions before 2 would run without graphical glitches. FFVI would have had unplayable frameskips if not for the fact it was an RPG.

>>389072375
>was still getting games after Vita release
Nope

While it may have been stuck as an otaco box it still had plenty going for it, unlike stuff like the wii "10 games notable /200 total" U

>>389086946
had no problem with zero mission or fusion using gpsp-kai

>>389085094
Far from failure. Sega CD was the best selling addon until the Kinect.

>>389087212
Then you need to go back and turn the framecounter on, it's pretty poor.

>>389072837
This or Ouya.

God no
It didn't even drive the company out of the hardware business like the Dreamcast did.

It sold fucking 82 million. Is that a failure to you?

>>389072375
It actually sold pretty well, it just came a little too late when most people already had one. If you think it's the biggest failure though you're retarded
