      >The memory cards were a scam

      Yes and this, combined with a lack of support from most developers across most genres (Sony included) are the reason why it flopped.

      It deserved so much better, it's the last Sony console I actually enjoyed owning and that wasn't just holding exclusives to ransom.

        The 3DS flopped hard at launch, almost as bad as the Vita. Honestly, the 3DS was garbage and deserved to fail. But Nintendo kept supporting that hardware and it ended up being very successful; Sony gave up immediately.

          They can make a x86 handheld compatible with PS4 games. There, giant library right from the get-go. If a developer makes a game for the PSP3/Vita2 or whatever it's called, it also runs on PS4 and PS5. And vice-versa.

          Also, why the frick haven't they made a PS1, PS2 and PS3 emulator yet. Microsoft has zero games worth playing, but their newest consoles can run even original Xbox games. Sony can take advantage of the entire PS1 and PS2 library... but no backwards compatibility. Why are they so dumb.

          Now, imagine this hypothetical PSP3, capable of running all PS1, PS2, PS3, PS4 and future PS4/PS5 cross-gen titles.

        That's literally the worst part about the system.
        It needed actual triggers, L3 and R3 would have been nice too, but it absolutely needed a full controller setup at the minimum.
        To use the rear touchpad, you have to stretch your fingers nearly to the center of the back of the vita, which takes your thumbs off of the thumbsticks entirely and makes pressing the face buttons awkward.
        There wasn't a single crossplay title that utilized the rear touchpad for anything other than l3+r3 because of how moronic and out of place it was, and most games just used the four corners of the front touch screen for l2, l3, r2, r3.

          I don’t necessarily disagree with this, but there are certain peripherals (like pic related) that basically compensate for this.

      Vita but what people don't talk about is battery life. The Vita can run PSP games for longer than a regular PSP, it has a bigger, better battery that won't explode, a better screen and controls. Being able to map for example, the touch screen to Start or L2 R2 for Psone games is such an advantage. And people never mention these points. You can also speed up Psone games by pressing Select and L1 at the same time.

    Because Sony has no major IPs they can shill to death to market a system. They have to rely on 3rd party major developers that would rather spend the time making a console game.

    The VIta was also releasted when shitty phone games began to dramatically take-off so there was little inventive to get a handheld console if you were a casual player. Again, Nintendo worked around this by having Pokemon and Mario.

    Sony decided against founding any game the PSP fanbase could had been excited about and developed little to no games. I am pretty sure the entire library is just about as big as the Virtual Boy.

    Sony’s only real mistake with the Vita was not making a ‘killer app’ game that would get people to come out and buy it. For the entirety of its lifespan, Vita’s library consisted almost exclusively of indie games, low-budget JRPG/VN spinoffs of anime, and gatcha; most of which wasn’t even localised outside of Japan. Even in Japan it only ever really managed to gain traction with nolifer otaku.

    It's a good thing this failed, otherwise we'd all be paying out the arse to play games.

    The original models literally couldn't play any games, not even physical ones, without an overpriced memory card. When you buy a console, and you buy a game for said console, that's supposed to be all you need to play it.

    israelite fricks at Snoy decided they'd try and squeeze consoomers for a little extra, and I'm glad it backfired.

    I own this thing but I bought it like new 6 months after launch for half the price and with a memory card and games included. If you bought it for retail you're a dumb c**t.

    I have been convinced for a long, long time that Sony is full of saboteurs. What happened to the PSP is nothing compared to what happened with their online games, which eventually got sold off and became Daybreak. Countless games neglected and then canceled for no reason, to say nothing of all the franchises they forget about to the point where they risk losing trademarks.

      I mean it's like a 0.1mp garbage camera that shouldn't have been on the system in the first place, but it still pisses me off knowing it's basically useless.

    Vita was greenlit by the previous SIE management. When the current management got into power they intentionally sabotaged it so all the resources could go to PS4.

    The original PSP-1000 felt like a premium product for its time even with UMDs.
    The Vita just feels like a disappointment in the hardware department even if it finally fixed the D-Pad and sticks issue.
    For everything it got right, it got 2 more things wrong.

      >3G model that was dead on arrival
      I still think this was a good idea with bad execution and tried way too early. Being able to play handheld quality games online on the go without relying on hotspots was a great idea. Needing a phone plan for it and trying to do it over 3G not so much.

    there is no market for it
    do you really think the PSP was great because of Sony's games specifically?
    no you dumb moron. it was Konami with Metal Gear. Square with Dissidia. Namco with top anime games like God Eater Burst. Capcom with Monster Hunter. Nobody gave a frick about the Vita and that's why it failed. Everyone abused it as a port-cum-dumpster. The industry just let that thing die because handhelds were to them even in 2012 too redundant.
    Sony just abandoned a sinking ship. It's not their fault

      yup
      not having banger games like this is pretty much the end for your console
      morons will keep coping about some memory card bullshit but the industry was just way past handhelds.
      >hurr durr bruh the SteamDeck is doing fine thoooo
      emulator box, not a handheld. doesn't have tailormade games and never will. this

      Don't worry the deck has taken it's place and is actually good unlike vita.

      homie is literally emulating a PSOne game and it's not even the good one (RE3)

    +Two sticks
    -Only 2 shoulder buttons
    -High res widescreen
    -Back touchpad that is always getting pressed
    -Games dim screen
    -Core locked to os
    -Ridiculous amount of ram locked to os
    -Vram and system ram are again seperate, sony didn't learn from the nogamesstation tripple
    -Propriatry memory card with shit read/write rate
    -Memory card has low storage and costs loads
    -Web browser only has 4 tabs
    -Can't really use it as a phone
    -Have to reformat to use another login/only 2 logins per card, logins don't share games
    -Need a workaround adapter to be able to charge it while using it

    It sucked, but I brought 2. Burn in is worth it for led. Peace Walker and Monster Hunter Freedom Unite machine.

    Breath of Fire IV was nice on it.

        Maybe you needed a little usb in between to charge it using a battery pack. Thanks for the correction.

          You need that to ensure charging with 3rd party chargers. I had to get one too, wouldn't charge from my phone brick otherwise.

    Sony barely tried to take advantage of its power to bring console tier gaming to a portable device like the Switch wound up being. You saw glimpses of it at the start but they immediately gave up and it basically became a portable pedophile weeb device.

    Aparently you can overclock it :))
    But it might blow up the battery. That happened on my overclocked phone. Probably ok for vita. An extra 5fps is a massive difference.

    It was gong to launch at the same price as the floundering 3DS,and then Nintendo cut the 3DS price by like $50.

    Proprietary memory cards, proprietary media playback (massive step back from the PS3) and lack of a killer app. Sony should have tried to nail down a Monster Hunter game from capcom.

    Fortunately, custom firmware has unlocked it's latent features and made it the perfect legacy handheld system.

    Expensive proprietary memory cards.

    Not different enough from the PSP to make a shift seem exciting.
    Not different enough from smart phones to seem cool to newcomers.

    Games were rarely designed for a handheld experience.
