I don't play much on my Vita, in fact I have only one Vita game for it, Wipeout 2048. Right after purchasing, Studio Liverpool was closed... my favorite franchise from Playstation dead. And I don't really like the position of the analog sticks, too close to the d-pad and face buttons.
The screen though, is simply wonderful, and the OS is really quick, if you'd like to visit the internet browser and such things it takes just a second. The fact you have to buy a proprietary memory card makes it easy for everyone to know they get good transfer speed and quality, but I guess the price turns even more people off.
But the thing I have used my Vita for the most, is PS1 games. Yes that is the reason I'm holding on to it. I think PS1 games look MUCH better on the Vita than on the TV from PS1/2/3. The resolution and, even more important, size of the screen makes them fit very well. Spyro has never looked so sharp and colorful to me, and I have been replaying more PS1 titles the last year, because of the Vita. But Sony hasn't got much money from me since I bought the system though, all were titles I bought on the PS3 because I can't find some of the discs anymore.. or just rebought them to play on the Vita like the Spyro titles, great value in the trilogy pack.
The only thing I miss on the screen, is 3D ;) And I don't like the rear touch screen either, I turn it off when I have the option. It was cool messing around with it in Wipeout though. But it gets in the way, like when L2 and R2 buttons are mapped to the back as standard in PS1 games. Of course there surely is better uses of it, but as I said I haven't tried out much new stuff on the console, very little that interests me.
So I game much more on my 3DS, since it has the software and games that interests me. I think I've used Streetpass Mii Plaza more than any other game this year, after the DLC games was released. Really close to getting all plaza tickets in Streetpass Garden/Flower Town now, only a few more streetpasses needed. I think the streetpass feature really is innovative (is "Near" on the vita the same thing, only you don't actually get any content? Haven't tried that one out either.)
Yep.
