The PS Vita is in an asymmetrical gaming war, because most people will compare the price of the unit and the games to a smartphone and titles like Angry Birds, and the PS Vita will lose in that style of statistical comparisons. To come back to Sony’s gamble, that’s it in a nutshell. Over its lifetime, the PS Vita will shift less units than a smartphone. Will it sell enough?

I think it deserves to. It’s the only choice for gamers looking for console gaming while out and about. The build quality is fantastic, there’s a lot of technology that will be utilised well for many years. The launch titles cover a huge amount of ground and genres, with more to come.

As a multi-year investment in your own leisure time, I can’t think of a better way to spend your money.

Didn't see this posted.

 

Oh by the way, they seem to love it.

@italic Uhhh... I hope they/you are kidding about this.

#1.) I didn't write it.

#2.) Yes, I agree with it. I had a PSP and I can assure you that without the 2nd analog stick you can not support all genres properly. With the Vita and it's plethora of control inputs I don't see it having issue running anything you could find on home consoles. Unless of course you bring in Kinect/Move/WiiMotion games, although in return it can run games that those can not.

With 3DS I guess you could do so with the Circle Pad pro, but unfortunately that is a peripheral and not present on all 3DS units, so it won't ever be utilized properly. Pretty much the same exact problem PS3 + Vita has when compared to the Wii U and it's tablet controller.

Vita is pretty much a home console in your hands. It truly is a wonderful device.

The 3DS though is just as worthy (better in my opinion) handheld system. It has a perfect amount of games and perfectly fine controls. It works perfectly overall. Also you need to read my other post to see my view on that. ;)

I had a PSP and I know the hassles of not being able to control the camera. It was one thing that made me unable to play Birth By Sleep.

I want a 3DS with a 2nd circle pad. No, I won't use that CCP as I don't like how it looks, plus I don't like that it causes the 3DS screens to be off-center. Although I believe that other that that it is a great device and I will be picking one up eventually. Maybe once it gets a bigger JRPG library. I don't care much at all for Mario these days. More of a Pokemon guy myself, due to it's old school JRPG styled turn-based combat.

I also greatly disagree with it being a better device for home console gaming on the go. The fact that it doesn't have that 2nd stick standard already throws a big monkey wrench into any argument you could try to bring since all games would need to be made originally tailored to using just 1 stick, which comprimises camera controls.

It was one of the HUGE complaints about the PSP. I was shocked when Nintendo didn't offer (2) sticks standard and am confident they will add it in a future revision.


They most likely will, but I do have to say, you don't seem to be complaining about Battery life anymore....what is up with that Euphoria! :P

(Sorry only nitpicking at somethings people said in the past about 3DS, but seem to ignore it with the Vita, and if I remember correctly you were one of the more vocal ones).
