I bought my 3g model Vita when it launched in Australia in 2012.
I give it a solid 85 out of 100 but I have to give a breakdown.
Hardware-95/100
The hardware is just about perfect when you consider that it has a superb OLED screen which is also multi touch, great dpad and dual sticks. It's fairly snappy as well and I have had no issues running multiple apps although I primarily use it for gaming. The only small downside is that the battery life could be better but it is reasonable.
Software- 75/100
Has many great games and looks to follow in the PSP's footsteps for great jrpgs. Problem though is that overall and especially compared to the 3ds I feel like the 3rd party support is lacking and that not enough developers take advantage of the superb functionality of the device. Though it has been greatly overshadowed by its more successful rival I still expect to see many more enjoyable games on it assuming Sony keeps supporting it which knowing Sony they likely will.
