| StarOcean said: The Vita has a lot of potential. I doubted it at first, but after buying one I realized how great of a handheld it is. It can still be successful, but with lack of a major system seller and a lack of games, it'll suffer until those needs are met. |
I agree the PS-Vita is awesome and a great price for what it offers as a portable dedicated gaming machine, but what it lacks is games that really move the Sony gamer audience to adopt hardware. Many of the games on PS-Vita are just inferior versions of games available on PS3 or PS4 now.
I do play on my PS-Vita, but never outside of the home, or I should say rarely. I play it mainly if I am traveling, but not when I am out and about. It is too big to lug around, and the battery life is short, and if I am going to carry any device, it is the SmartPhone device and not the Vita.
When I am at home, then I prefer to play PS3, PS4, Wii U, etc over either 3DS XL or PS-Vita. The exception of course is when there is a great must play game only on the portable and those tend to happen more on the 3DS XL than Vita (most recently Zelda - Link Between Worlds).
