"In trying to provide almost everything a gamer could want, the PlayStation Vita could be a successful jack-of-all-trades or a convoluted mess. I feel quite safe in saying that the Vita looks like it'll more closely resemble the former, provided that talented developers use the interfaces correctly. None of the features of the Vita are deficient in any way; all are up to their appointed tasks. Whether using the touch screen, the touchpad, the gyroscope or the traditional buttons, everything does its job, and does it pretty well. I think even the most demanding portable gamer will find themselves wanting for little. 

Add to that the fact that the Vita's capable of running some utterly gorgeous games that control really well, and you've got a damn fine system in your hands. Playing Uncharted for the first time is nothing short of a revelation. It's a sign of just how far we've come that we've got beautiful, fully-fledged console experiences sitting in our hands. The bells, the whistles, and the gimmicks are all great, but the PlayStation Vita succeeds where it matters most -- it can play awesome games, and it already has a number of them prepared for launch. That's what counts, and the Vita is off to a good start in that area."

Sounds suspiciously positive. I wonder how much of that $50 million marketing budget went to Jim.



Thats a "gamer type" review, not trying to compare the device to a phone or tablet, which make sense since the Vita is for gamers.



Most probably the PSVITA will be loved by reviewers. Hopefully it will sell lots more than the PSP



Unless that image is deceptive it's surprisingly only marginally larger than the PSP.

Beat me to it.



PS One/2/p/3slim/Vita owner. I survived the Apocalyps3/Collaps3 and all I got was this lousy signature.


Xbox One: What are you doing Dave?

Excellent. Controversial as his reviews may sometimes be, I like Sterling's work.



Love and tolerate.

I wonder how much complaining and screaming he's received for not being even MORE positive...

The fanatics are already out and about, verbally stomping on everyone who would dare offer up a negative word about something that has the Playstation/Sony stamp on it. I feel kind of bad for the sane Sony fans, since these nutbags make you folks look kind of...well, insane, really.

Sigh, there is always one guy who ruins a thread. Congrats.
