It has hardly any games that even remotely interest me. Gravity Rush and Tearaway maybe, but that's all I can think of.



Around the Network

It looks like a great system with just a few great exclusive games.

And I have my PC, so... Yeah.



- No comment in the games, since I haven't fully researched the games in it.
- The Wii U, 3DS and my PC is enough for me. I dont have the time and money to buy and play on another system.
- Im all about Physical..........
- Its still cost the same price as a NEW 3DS XL Here in Australia!!!!!!!



Pocky Lover Boy! 

It is such a neat little device. Absolutely beautiful screen but a little too small. It immediately cramped my hands. Also, they get you with the absurd memory card prices. The main problem was that its game library was absolutely pathetic. One of the worst I have ever seen. Nearly every game has a better version on another platform. The exlusives it does have are shitty spinoffs of mediocre franchises (Resistance, killzone, CoD, Assassins Creed, LBP, probably more). If you enjoy obscure japanese games, the vita would probably satisfy you.

Lack of strong library. Given I do have Vita TV for like a year now.



 

Around the Network

-Memory cards

-Was more expensive than the 3DS at the time

-Few exclusives that I cared about

-Tried to be a portable PS3, which I didn't like since I always owned a PS3 and didn't want watered down versions of games I could play on it.

-Sony basically dropped the support after 2 years



Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won

Nice thread idea.

So these will be my future customers in 10 years time when it become the retro device to own at exuberant prices.



 

 

1) 3DS It even has Akecard! If you don't know what that is, I recommend getting it. It allows you to download any DS/3DS game at will. I had one for my DS, and I downloaded close to 100 games.

2) Memory cards- simple. Way too expensive. Why pay 80 bucks for a 64 GB card if you can get a 128 GB micro-SD card for around the same price?

3) Too powerful- It chose a horrible time to be powerful. If it did so nowadays, sure, not too bad. But mobile was still weak during its launch, giving it a guaranteed death bed.

4) Horrible diversity- JRPG, JRPG...ugh....Really? Something else please?

5) Screen- There was a time where I dropped my 3DS from the roof of my house(don't ask how). It fell on the screen. Yet, the only thing that happened to it was a cracked + stick(and some dead pixels). However, my Vita's screen cracked when I dropped it from 3 feet only. :|

6) PS4- Unless you're rich, PS4 has everything the Vita does and doesn't have.

7) No games- I'd really like a library similar to the PSP/DS/3DS's.

12/22/2016- Made a bet with Ganoncrotch that the first 6 months of 2017 will be worse than 2016. A poll will be made to determine the winner. Loser has to take a picture of them imitating their profile picture.

I bought a Vita... mainly to play the misadventures of Tron Bonne. If not for that game, I'd have no use for the Vita.

Unless you like niche japanese games, it's a doorstop.



I do have it. Am I not allowed to vote?
